As a certified manflu sufferer, I gave this an upvote. I know that there's been a lot fun made at guys 'overreacting' to colds, but maybe it's time to listen to the victims. Occasionally, I get a cold where i just feel a bit shit, tired and full of snot. But most of the time a cold shuts me down entirely, I can't think, talk nonsense, if I try and drive I almost crash. I'm a compete mess. Sure, maybe my body is just overreacting to the virus, but so is anaphylaxis and that kills people.

I'm pretty sure that labour is worse, but...

At least for me, if I'm sick enough to be complaining about feeling bad I probably need to go to the hospital.

I can see how that could come off as being a baby since you wouldn't know about the all times I didn't feel incapacitatingly bad.

I sent this to every woman I know. I anticipate good things to come of it.

I love telling women "Getting kicked in the balls hurts way worse than giving birth" and wait for them to get all mad. "Hey I'm just saying I got kicked in the balls once, never again. You have 3 kids, why would you willingly do that multiple times if its so bad?"

Well, it's possible to stop a man's heart by kicking him in the nuts so.....

Man that's clever. and women are so stupid that they don't realise that you get something out of a pregnancy.

Oh, so you're saying men can't get anything out of being kicked in the balls? 😏

Men and women are both stupid. Humanity is stupid. We should all just work together to conquer that. Boy I'm in a grumpy mood this morning.

Everyone is lonely, not just men. Can we please not share sexist trash here or anywhere, really?

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what this has to do with loneliness or even sexism

It's a meme making fun of what is usually described as a man flue.

I can't imagine a post in a community for memes is supposed to be taken seriously or even always be politically and socially correct

We're just posting pictures with funny, thought-provoking or some times even controversial text on them, using bold fonts.
