    Maybe, but I’d like to understand the joke / “joke”, if there’s anything to understand. It could be just “hurdur, I insulted them by saying gender because they’re young” or maybe there really is some kind of reasoning.

      What it seems like the “joke” is at:

      If you are assertive but a man, wokes will call you aggressive. If you are assertive but a woman, wokes will applaud you.

      Or so I understand the underlying logic, can be wrong ofc.

        I’m pretty sure the joke is the exact opposite, that the same behavior that’s treated as assertive if a man does it is treated as aggressive coming from a woman.

          It’s actually a comic strip by Judy Horacek from 1999 about how assertiveness in women is viewed as aggressive and discouraged, while it is encouraged in men
