A screenshot of a Tweet that reads: “Men a so weird. When they find something disgusting online they get all ecited and immediately go to share it with all of their pals lmao”

    I am not talking about people enjoying things that I don’t personally enjoy, I was talking about an instinct that men (allegedly) have to share quote disgusting stuff with each other.

    This post doesn’t seem to me to be about sharing a weird common interest with your friends. There’s nothing (inherently) toxic nor gendered about having weird hobbies.

    The post is about seeing something disgusting and immediately sharing it with all your friends who will also be disgusted, and portrays this as if it’s just a completely normal thing for men to do. And while I can kind of understand where the assumption that men behave like that comes from, I have never experienced anything like that with any of my friends, and I’m pretty sure I never will. So it seems like a bit of a misrepresentation.

      Then I misread your initial comment I guess. I can get behind that.

        I could have been clearer - it kind of has to be read in context of how I personally interpreted the original post. So no worries at all obviously. :)
