It's written incorrectly. "Only some men are sad. Don't treat all men as though they're sad." How insightful and almost converse of the point, which is, "Gender doesn't determine sensitivity or need."

It's less that the statement is false. But more that the statement is being made at all.

It's like writing a post about how people are too quick to dismiss women as being overemotional, and someone commenting on it by saying

I'm not saying you have to be nice to or defend hysterical women, but don't treat them as crazy just because they are women. Treat them as crazy because they are crazy.

It's just bringing up a stereotype that acts as an excuse to deny men empathy, in the same way as mine does to dismiss women.

I don't disagree with the general message of "Judge people for who they are", but the way it's written is tone death at best.

Maybe the circle they're in is just pretty misandrist so it needs saying. But it just seems unnecessary to me.

That's right. Judge someone not by the length of their dick , but by the content of their character.

And you get downvoted for pointing it out. Yet this problem will be blamed on men ("the patriarchy") by Lemmy without any sense of irony or self-awareness.
