    This argument is stupid either way of course… But I find the picture on the right way more attractive.

      “Don’t worry, ladies! This incel finds you ugly, but I find you attractive!”

        People like you do more harm than good for the cause you’re fighting for. You are a living caricature of what actual incels use to justify their rotten worldview.

          If one person on the internet being a feminist killjoy is enough for you to disavow feminism, you were never supportive of it to begin with.

            Lol, I’m not disavowing feminism. Your comments won’t change the mind of anyone who already had an egalitarian mindset - but in aggregate lots of comments like yours push away people on the fence, and entrench those who are already in a bad place.

            If a woman made an equivalent comment about the before and after shots of a guy getting in shape or something it would rightfully not draw any ire. Jumping down the throat of every guy who expresses their preferences about women is not going to win us any allies.

              Who said anything about changing anyone’s minds? She’s merely pointing out that blunderworld’s comment is still objectifying women. The up/downvote ratio says a lot about the Lemmy crowd that they should be ashamed of.

                If a woman had made an identical comment about a dude posting with/without makeup photos it wouldn’t have drawn any ire.

                It wasn’t objectification. He never insinuated that her looks were all that mattered, or that she wasn’t a unique snowflake of a person - he simply mentioned his own preference about makeup.

                  He mentioned his own preference about the woman pictured in the meme.

                  It should draw ire.
