I'm halfway tempted to make a tumblr account, pose as a woman, and then call her out on her sexism towards men.
Mostly because she probably wouldn't take a man calling her out on this seriously and more as "He wants to rape me."

Equality ho!
Phrasing!
Oh.
How could that even be rephrased to not imply a female centric slur and still get the same high jinks across? I am at a loss.

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.

Yeah, I was going with "Equality, Yay!" as my first guess after I realized sticking a picture there from Recettear would do nothing to alleviate the phrasing connotations.

'Clearly you're a victim of the patriarchy!'

They've come up with increasingly BS ways of deflecting. 'You were adopted and raised by a single mother who worked with only women in a company whose CEO was a woman and never had contact with a man? Clearly male aliens came and enforced the patriarchy upon her and thus you at some point!'

See, that just makes me want to do it even more. I want to know how many stupid responses I can get out of her while still calling her out for the sexism.

Why even make fun of Tumbrl? That just feeds into a perpetual victim complex.
Just let it show itself up by its actions.

B-but the high jinks...
It doesn't really have any chance at all to get across the idea of adventure or silliness. The change gives more of a sarcastic sadness when I was trying to be uplifting in a less than positive way. My aspirations -

Clearly, they have been brainwashed by the patriarchy. Never mind how many games feature completely awesome female protagonists, such as the Tomb Raider and Metroid games. They all have secret patriarchy brainwashing in them. :P

If you don't include Metroid other M.   >:(  >:(  >:(

And Lara's recent obsession with running towards explosions and fire instead away from them.   :P

My, what a wonderful looking fedora and such a glorious neckbeard! We should all aspire to such a high vision of fashion that this man has shown us! *puts on fedora* I feel more awesome now.

I agree on the "for the safety of the thread" part but can we seriously stop the "disagree with Tumblr social justice = neckbearded fedoratarian"?
