Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

To tack on to Velma's answer below about why you were insta-downvoted, your question is the sort that can be answered much quicker and more comprehensively by just doing a google search instead of asking a small crowd of strangers in a comment thread to essentially be your research committee, a fact considered so readily intuitive that to opt for the latter anyway is to almost certainly appear as disingenuous to said crowd. If they can all find this info so easily, certainly you can too.
No I'm pretty pleasant most of the time, I joke and smile a lot. We've got nothing to argue about, I'm just offering an extra explanation about why your comment wasn't well received.
Asking people to provide case examples of something so basic is not "having a discussion". It's a deliberate attempt to put the onus - again- on women to defend their position. Because you can't extend any grace to their point of view. Some self reflection is warranted
