Don’t worry, we men are already evening out the odds by getting our panties twisted in a bunch over a clever meme.
And they’ve always gotta be the victim. 🙄
I mean jokes are fine but this kinda borders on bad taste
If it helps at all, it’s not entirely true, statistically, just very slightly funny when not explained. Men are like 75% of the victims in homicides and lead in other violent crimes, if my Googling is correct. Women do lead in other categories, though, so it’s still competitive. I’m not trying to take anything away from anybody. But I also admit “borders on bad taste” is pretty much the line I walk.
Why? It’s factual. According to men, it’s always a woman’s fault.
Prudish much?
Hey, it’s 80% of reported violent crime. We’re just better at it and don’t get caught, obvs.
The real reason women love true crime podcasts: learning from the mistakes of others
And watching all the men fail
Sometimes minor league ball is a more interesting game.
I am officially calling true crime tv “the minor leagues”
80% of violent crime? Cute. Lesbians are busy cornering the space crime market (allegedly).
That was a fake, just so you’re aware. Still hilarious as a meme.
oh… I guess it’s true what they say… never meet your heroes…
Be the lesbian space crime you want to see I guess?
Be gay. Do space crime
But but but if they did 80% then MEN wouldn’t be taken seriously!!!
How so? They can both do 80%. This will increase the total number of crimes to 160% but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to pay to protect equality, the second amendment and the free world.
That’s not how maths works.
[Excuse me while I “mansplain”] But if women want to increase their violent crimes to match men’s, they need to increase by an additional 300%. This would result in a total increase of violent crimes of 60% more violent crime.
C’mon girls! Try harder!
Do your part to achieve equality!
Then maybe men can cease being expected to open doors, put toilet seats down, put women and children first, die in wars, buy dinner and flowers, carry all the heavy things, fend off attackers, fix everything, [(quietly)] die younger, thrive without emotional support, be sole provider as a trad-hubby gentleman sigma-male feminist-ally bad-boy softie stoic emoting funny but only in a specific way and tall but not too tall and looking good with a six-pack without spending time working on it and whatever else in the cluster of impossible contradictions, alone.
🎸🇺🇸🦅
FUCK YEAH!
So who’s committing the final 80% of crime then? Nonbinary people?
80% (women) + 80% (men) + 80% (non binary) + 80% (pets) = 160% (total)
Checkmate feminists.
Gonna be trotting out the ol’ 13/50 next?
But this one is accurate and that one is white suprematist nonsense.
Would the stat be alright if it was actually factual? Because not all of the stats racists use are false you know
“You see, the problem with racism is the statistics are incorrect. If the science behind it is solid, bigotry is actually fine.”
That is not what your moral and intellectual superior said or implied.
“You see, as you better, my opinion is above reproach by the likes of you. I am a progressive.”
Nope, you’re just wrong.
“You see, I’m better than others, and my opinions are correct, whatever they are. I have never reflected on this.”
🤣🤣🤣
Imagine running an excavator with a hard hat on like you don’t have ROPS/FOPS.
Imagine getting out of the excavator to go to the loo and getting hit in the head by a brick.
Imagine not putting on a hard hat when you’re no longer protected by ROPS/FOPS.
I cannot find my glasses when I am wearing them. I don’t think I am going to put a hardhat on when I forgot I am not wearing it.
You need pretty good situational awareness in construction, doubly so when you’re operating heavy equipment.
And the hat doesn’t even have a strap
Could be in and out of the machine often at a site/plant that requires it outside and doesn’t bother to take it off?
The reality is that it’s probably a photoshoot
I think the brand-newness of her clothes and hard hat, as well as full makeup, indicate that it’s a photo shoot and she is not actually an equipment operator.
Yup. Beat me to it. In and out, easiest place to keep it, still on your head.
“ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) are safety features integrated into heavy machinery to protect operators.”
For everyone else unfamiliar with those acronyms!
Thank you!!
You do realize everyone has to wear a hard hat on a construction site by osha safety standards right?
I’m googling OSHA and it seems to be some American thing, not a global rule?
Don’t other countries have their own Oshas just called Something else?
If you are talking globally then using a country specific name for it seems confusing
But just because you are talking on a global forum doesn’t mean you can’t talk about your personal experience
You were talking to someone else though, not just saying how it is for you
What do you mean? We’re just describing what we see in the picture and how it compares to our lived experience.
Does your country have an osha or can people go to construction sites without hardhats, or do you have a regulating body but hardhats aren’t required / the rules aren’t enforced?
Saying OSHA is like saying Kleenex to us, we don’t even realize it is a brand name. It has become the generic term in our en_us language anyway.
The crane operators I work with defintely dont.
They are above the rules. Unless you’re on one of the cranes with the security cameras
No theyre just supposed to.
That’s what the FOPS is for.
I, for one, for sure, would be grateful for the hard hat in a ROPS event. Even a FOPS event.
You’d need a chin strap for the hat to stay on if you’re upside down.
True.
Especially when wearing one that’s too big and loose.
FOPS isn’t going to help if one of those violent criminals tomahawk-throws a framing hammer at your head!
Sure it is a redundant protection but as a longtime journey level construction worker I can tell you you still have to wear a hard hat on construction sites anywhere on site
As a long time equipment operator who puts their hard hat on only outside of the equipment, okay.
I know in my area this hard hat rule is strictly enforced.
Do we have Americans (no rules) vs Canadians (actual safety) going on in this discussion?
Sometimes Canada goes overboard. In Ontario you need to wear a hard hat to plant trees.
No offense but we just moved from everyone on a construction site needs one to the construction sites in your area needs one.
I wouldn’t have disagreed with you if you started with that.
I know cal osha requires everyone at all times needs a hard hat on a construction site. I don’t work small private residential cal osha may be more strict on bigger jobs but it is an osha requirement here so I assumed it was a federal osha policy. I know it was definitely covered in my osha 10 and OSHA 30 courses. I was also an instructor for my trade union and this is what is taught in the nationwide union curriculum and yes any heavy equipment we use we have to wear a hard hat while operating nationwide In my trade.
You still wear your cup throughout the whole shift though right?
I can just imagine it now. Me, in my little hard hat, on a big ol excavator, paying no mind to the ROPS/FOPS overhead, completely safe from all the debris that wants nothing more than to crack open my noggin, excavating to my hearts content!
Oh what a day that would be!
Wow, com’on now we can do this!
Lol great point
More like, want to have the same outcome as men at 80% of the effort.
Or am I making a shitty effort meme that mimics OP? If you’re offended by this joke and not by OP, think of your own bias.
Studies have shown that males are jailed with 8:2 ratio compared to their female counterparts!
We demand equal prison female population for equal criminal efforts! Just because I’m a woman, does not make me an inferior criminal! lmao…!
Clearly this just shows bias towards sentencing men to prison smdh my head
There is a lot of that happening. Pick a crime and look at the statistics.
Additionally, women are less likely to be charged for many crimes like domestic assault.
OP is a lighthearted joke that punches up, whereas yours was the opposite. Maybe think about your own biases, jackass.
Don’t women think it as a bit demeaning to think that they’re universally and categorically below men when it comes to jokes?
how the fuck is attacking men punching “up”? Are men a monolith in your world?
We’re not a monolith but I am aware of some facts about us, like we’re statistically more likely to have shorter hair and take more dangerous jobs and commit violence—none of which offend me although the third one is incredibly disappointing.
I believe I can see where you’re coming from. That said I would be interested in reading a bit more about your perspective on why this meme attacks men. Thank ya
Lets take the worst black man in the world, and then apply his actions to the whole… Lets take the worst woman in the world, and then apply her actions to the whole… Lets take the worst… You get the idea. The lack of nuance in arguments is why a lot women think that men are all totally safe walking home at night. Worse, they think they are at great danger walking home at night, when the statistics say that they are in FAR more danger when they get home. And thats with underreporting of violence in the home.
I mean, men are also victims 81% of the time according to the UNODC. We get 100% of the blame for the crimes, but 0% of the outcry for being the victims of that crime. And everyone seems real fucking comfortable being bigoted as fuck when it comes to men. And the actual number is 91% of violent crimes is done by men, but the % of men that are violent criminals is between 0.3 and 0.6%. So 100% of men globally endure hate and bigotry because of the actions of less than 1% of the total. Does that sound like “punching up” to you?
Hush you. Men are supposed to just take it. Women and children first.
No emotional support for men. Keep the demands on them. Keep berating them for striving to meet those demands. Keep taking away their ability to support a family. Keep demanding them to. Keep judging men with the hasty generalisation fallacy, ignoring the statistical outliers. Keep men dying younger. Keep saying “patriarchy” like all men are all advantaged rulers. ;-}
Replace “men” with just about any protected class, and this statistic with another one that reflezcts comparably on that group.
Yes! Black people are far more likely to go to prison in the US! We white people need to work on that!
Yeah, (as I recall) that bigoted bias in USA gets even more damning when looking at the victim’s demographics instead.
The Karens cry loudest, like they’re the only victims, or like they’re magnanimously mending the situation for everybody, when they’re already the 1%ers of victim pride.
Is it really punching up though? The victim complex is part of the bias, jackass.
Although it might have been funnier to make it 20% effort.
Dude
Yeah dude. How can they be expected to be taken seriously with a mere 20%. Slackers.
Man you need to be more concerned with your jokes being funny than being offensive
Good, so you agree that OP made a shitty meme too? I just made the same joke but reversed it.
Men are so butt hurt lol can’t even take a joke without crying like a little baby 😂
So sexist jokes are only funny when men are the target? Fucking hypocrite.
The fuck is this foolishness
The rambling nonsense of an incel manbaby. I should have been tipped off by the username, must have been sleepy.
You’re a dickhead
And all i had to do is perform 80% of all crimes!
This ain’t it, chief.
thats not what an antimeme is, this meme has a very standard punchline
