I interpreted it as them thinking this use of the template is mysoginistic, because it implies that women are dumb and not privacy conscious. The typical posture of “you are not REALLY privacy focused, you are a woman, how could you be, women don’t know”.
I was saying that I’ve seen the “dumb person” side switch enough times to be able to not infer that from the meme. I mean, you have to pick one of the two as the simplist one right?
I might be wrong if OP always slots women in their memes as the dumb one, I didn’t check. But in this meme’s case, I doubt most people would take the negative interpretation mentioned above. That was my point.
ah yes. misoginy.
I’ve seen this meme several times where she is the one with the actual detailed take and he is the one with the simple take.
It’s not that deep.
I don’t think they were calling the meme template misogynistic
Right, they’re calling this meme misogynistic, because it has the woman having a bad opinion?
The original statement is just as stupid whether they’re talking about the template or the instance.

The misoginy is in your head.
If that’s the case, reversing the characters would be misandry.
Or, perhaps, it’s neither, and just a meme that’s been used a million times.
Ah yes, the Galbrush problem; in which designing something and then swapping a character’s gender suddenly makes it a gender commentary.
