Calling yoga pants a false advertisement is misogyny?

    It's definitely a misogynistic mindset, yeah. Women put on clothes for a variety of reasons like staying warm and avoiding sunburn, and sometimes we also pick clothes we find aesthetically flattering (shockingly men also do this). Calling it "advertising" comes from a perspective that women are necessarily focused only on men, and trying to trick men.

    Isn't that true sometimes?

    🤨 Stop sealioning. If you believe women are uniquely apart from the other half of humanity in that we're generally trying to scam them, and not so much the other way around, just admit that. Otherwise, it's not really worth mentioning and making memes about, is it?

    If you believe it's any better the other way around, you're seriously detached from reality.

    ETA: in fact, I'd argue it's worse because there's much more physical violence perpetrated upon women by men than the other way around - and more of it is of a more serious degree, to boot.
