You know, as much as I fault the patriarchy for many of the inequities in our society, it's also important to respect people's agency.

If someone wants to dress up in a sexy Halloween costume, let 'em and God Bless. Not my jam and obviously it's not yours either. But that's their choice and I might internally judge a bit but I'm never going to tell someone not to do it if it brings them joy and hurts literally no one.

If you're that concerned by the patriarchy, it doesn't help to tear other women down because they don't subscribe to your interpretation of feminism.

That's totally fair. I don't think having a laugh about something I find mildly funny is exactly tearing women down. But I agree I could keep that thought in my head rather than on a random internet thread.

It’s cringey as hell and you’re allowed to laugh at whatever the fuck you want.
