Also is this dude implying he knows how to design/build/maintain all those things himself? Cause lol. I design power systems, you don’t want me building roads
That occurred to me after I posted yesterday. Manual construction work requires skills which are becoming more rare amongst the general population - odds are that most people posting to Lemmy spent their time learning the blade rather than how to mix concrete
Ah the classic, it’s ok to make broad generalizations about men or women, but if someone does it back now you get to nit pick whether or not all men know all things. But it’s ok to call men useless or unnecessary? Or what is your interpretation of the original t shirt if not something disparaging or negative towards men in general?
Dude reread the shirt. It doesn’t make any broad generalizations. A woman. A man. A fish. A bicycle. It doesn’t say all women can live without all men. You’re projecting.
What’s wrong with a single woman living life without a male partner? Nothing. That’s what the shirt is saying. Your response is exactly why people feel it needs to be said.
Ah interesting. You’re arguing there is only one way to interpret art. I disagree. How about a bicycle is a completely unnecessary burden for a fish and cannot under any circumstances benefit a fish?
Secondly, I doubt most would agree with that interpretation of sayings in general.
You know that old “Give a man a fish…Teach a man to fish…” saying. You think that’s applying only to one particular man? That’s nonsense.
