I remember an old 4chan joke from, I think, over a decade ago. It’s an old memory so I hope I don’t butcher it:

A 4chan user found a genie. He was tired of getting no action, so he told the genie his 1st wish was the ability to turn on sight that would let him see everyone willing to sleep with him. “Your wish is granted”, replied the genie. “You can now close your eyes.”

In the modern version I’d make it one of these misogynist assholes.

A decade ago is 2014 so you(probably) mean two decades ago

It’s possible, I left 4chan a long time ago. I won’t pretend it was ever a great place, but at least there were moments of entertaining randomness. Damn I’m old.

I think the best response that’s always worked for me is:

“Who cares!” Person riled up about this inclined to agree with me because they think I’m on the two genders “side of the debate”. “Just try your best to call people what they want to be called and move on. If someone’s name is x, try call them x, if they say ‘I am a y’, try calling them a y. If you get it wrong accidentally, oh well, just say sorry and try again. Why are we even still talking about this? It’s such a non-issue”

Highly effective on those who aren’t super conservative and just been swept up in the (in my opinion) astroturfed outrage.

That’s why I like names, that’s why we have em. When I first meet you, tell me your name and that’s what I’ll call you. The rest we can learn as we go

Everyone is an X until a weird little Y comes along.

I like the premise of the joke but it’s confusing sex with gender. 😅

Es ist entweder “Gesundheit” auf Deutsch, of “gezondheit” in het Nederlands.

If you say so. It was a joke I stole from the comedy group The Firesign Theater because of what “at you” sounds like.

The opposite of a man.

What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets.

Which makes a woman a joyous iota of public.
