Switching the roles

This is super adorable, I wish society would see that for what it is, two kids supporting each other so they can get their needs met.

Is this part of a series? It feels like it should be, like those HSBC ads at airports.

Interesting to see several people in this thread who think this example is worthless because they apparently can't figure out how to apply the idea to other persistent aspects of the sexual dynamic.

Falandyszeus · 2020-05-18T15:08:37+00:00

Not sure if intentional but interesting how the camera angles change making then seem roughly equal in size on the left and the boy way larger on the right.

awwww... this is so cute...

how can people see anything other than 2 siblings being siblings...
what's wrong with people...?

Well, she's not putting any effort into being a step stool, she's just being smooshed.

I feel like there could be a metaphor for the "'wage' gap" here, but I can't articulate it very well.

Agree that both are simps

arendt1 · 2020-05-18T15:39:35+00:00

It’s an interesting commentary of our times and how adults think to see the interpretations here of a brother and sister helping each other look at something - and that it even merits being used on a mensrights post . Tres bizarre

perplexedm · 2020-05-18T15:18:37+00:00

On the right side, the girl suddenly turned very small and boy tad big.

SJWs fake it as for special effects as usual.

When women grow up,they just forget how much men sacrifice for them.

C2074579 · 2020-05-18T15:33:09+00:00

Hate to say it but it's true.

illzkla · 2020-05-18T15:22:21+00:00

This definitely skews the judgement of some double standards. Just use real world examples instead of misleading pictures like this.

Use your critical thinking skills. Even if people were annoyed at the picture on the right instead of the one on the left, maybe it is because the boy seems bigger. Maybe that's the point or maybe it's a bad camera angle by intention or not.

Facts

LuckyMuddypaw · 2020-05-18T17:12:50+00:00

It is only sexist if the boy treated the girl like her existence was without value. Given the picture going both ways, this is cute and romantic as a whole, because not only is he willing to get on the ground to help her, but she is willing to do the same for him.

Rougemak · 2020-05-18T17:58:17+00:00

Christ this sub has gone downhill.

notaclevernameguy · 2020-05-18T21:44:37+00:00

I had some great girls as close play friends growing up. When your all muddy just playing, making forts. It’s the most equal good times you’ll have in life.

therealnumberone · 2020-05-18T15:23:48+00:00

I’m afraid I have to agree with a couple other people in this thread, I don’t like this type of post. The only person calling it sexist is OP as far as we know, and it serves no real purpose other than tearing down a strawman argument. It makes the subreddit, and the movement as a whole, look bad if I’m being honest.

EUJourney · 2020-05-18T16:01:51+00:00

Feminists are the most hypocritical people on earth

NotAnAlternateID · 2020-05-18T15:35:20+00:00

Doesn't really fit this sub

thottiemcqueef · 2020-05-18T15:19:19+00:00

Let’s fight actual issues this shit is boring and nit picky

Taha_Amir · 2020-05-18T16:01:39+00:00

It doesnt matter whatever the fuck the image portrays.

The real problem is the adult clearly standing behind the camera not helping either child but rather taking the photo

WeenieHutJr · 2020-05-18T16:19:49+00:00

nobody actually would see this as sexist lol

ThePepeGuy · 2020-05-18T15:24:41+00:00

Big yikes

DHAN150 · 2020-05-18T13:51:42+00:00
