because, per usual, males cannot come up with original ideas and only ever piggyback off the accomplishments of women
I’m so tired of how men keep co-opting any joke or trend women come up with. The bear or man question, men turned it into tiger or woman. Hot Girl Summer becomes Hot Boy Summer or whatever. And now the ‘women in male fields’ trend which men have co-opted and ruined it once again. In all of the ‘women in male fields’ jokes, these are real horrendous interactions women have had with men, literally not a single one is exaggerated or wrong. So men decided to co-opt it and of course they spout the most misogynistic BS, but not a single joke lands. They claim to be the funnier sex, yet they can’t even come up with their own original jokes or trends without making them sexist and lame. They take jokes women create and turn them into misogynistic, painfully unfunny ‘jokes.’ They constantly do this to undermine and overshadow us but even in that they’re failing miserably.
