    It makes women sound stupid

    No. But this your comment makes you sound stupid.

    On top of being stupid, you obviously still don’t understand what hyperbole is.

      No, I know what it is. Hyperbole when taken too far is just a fancy way to dress up sexism/racism.

      The litmus test here is so easy.

      Replace “man” with “black man” and repeat the phrase, tell me if it’s still something you’d say out loud amongst friends or not.

      Suddenly doesn’t sound so paletteble does it? Maybe sounds kinda racist?

      Literally anytime you wanna try and argue if a phrase maybe is problematic, and you wanna try and argue that because the subject is “men” makes it lt count, just change it to “black men” and double check it didn’t suddenly become super fuckin racist sounding.

      If it did, it always was sexist.
