      Original commenter was making a joke, it’s called hyperbole.

      There are cases where your sentiment makes sense (Women disparaging someone about dick size for example. Not sure how that’s different from men commenting on people’s boobs), but this isn’t one of those cases.

      The commenter doesn’t actually advocate killing someone because they bumped up against them.

      I think you should consider lightening up.

      It’s almost like memes are based on context… The reason it’s impactful is because in humans it’s rare to see women be the more powerful sex, it’s rare to see women kill men. Flipping the genders wouldn’t flip the context of the the social norms that the meme is dependent on.

        It’s not rare, people gas up women for the most tiniest of things. Women have more rights than men, PERIOD. E.g: They don’t get drafted

          So your one example of women having more rights is a rule made by a society ruled by men? Some people would argue that women are being deprived of the right to fight for their nation…

          In most every metric of power in modern society, men are placed over women. In wealth, political appointment, the judiciary, the military, and the police force we see men hold the vast majority of power.

          Name a right women have that men do not and I can guarantee that example was implemented and enforced by a group mostly made of men.
