    Why does every topic necessitate a joke about women wanting men with money?

    WHY?

    We’re talking about spiders ffs

    Gold digger jokes aren’t even clever anymore, like at least have more creativity jesus christ

      If women as a rule preferred men with good personalities over men with a lot of money, then why would Elon Musk have so many kids?

      Try being a broke man with a decent personality and then tell me where golddigger jokes come from, goddamn.

      Or just go over to reddit dating advice and count how many times a woman explains to a guy that even though his looks and personality might be okay, if he’s making minimum wage then he’s not going to be viewed as a viable long-term partner…

        That user is notoriously self-righteousness about grandstanding whenever gender is even slightly mentioned. Even when other women tell her she’s being obnoxious.

        Oh no, I’m being a killjoy for all the jokes about misogyny, rape, and pedophilia in this site?

        Yeah I’m the one in the wrong.

        I’ve got messages in my inbox justifying electing a rapist regardless of political identity and we can’t even talk about spiders without someone making jokes about how shitty women are.

        Whatever.

              nobody did in any serious capacity. you flew off the handle and then doubled down when you were told it was a joke.

              go outside and touch grass ffs. read some poetry. literally anything that might help you develop a sense of humor.

                I’m never going to find humor in making fun of women like this.

                There’s no amount of snotty little boys telling me I’m no fun that will make me lean in to casual misogyny.

      The second largest family of spiders are literally the “money spiders”.

          You should consider some gold digging, maybe you can buy yourself a sense of humour.

            It’s so funny to punch down on women, you’re right! I don’t know how I never realized before that women are so fucking shitty and it’s so fucking funny to laugh how they traditionally were held back from real career opportunities and were forced to rely on men for support and now we laugh and laugh and laugh about how they were subjugated and now have to deal with a glass ceiling and men laughing at their struggles.

            It’s SO FUNNY, isn’t it?
