I was telling my friend about this joke I saw that said "Scientists have just announced today that dolphins are second to man in intelligence levels. So that pushes women down to third place." Now I'm a girl, and I completely understand that this is a joke and is just a play on words from the article. Ya it's a bit edgy, but it's still a joke. When I told this to my friend, she got mad and said that it would only be funny if it was the other way around, if the joke had said "pushing man to third place" instead. Like what??? Excuse me?? Either you think the joke is offensive to a set of people and it shouldn't be used, or not. Why is it suddenly ok with you to put men down but if the same thing is said about a woman it's not ok?

Naw they recognize it because the narrative is secretly actually "Only men can perpetrate DV". Women can do no wrong.
If two gay men have a violent dispute they are probably both abusers. /s

Oh haha my bad, I guess my post didn't read that I understood you were making a joke. I was trying to build off it for my own joke.
I didn't know about lesbians being more violent so I looked into it.
From wikipedia:
This is wild. This is almost certainly also affected by men being less likely to report violence that they do experience, but the implications are still clear.
The same wikipedia article goes on to critique feminism:
The whole article is an interesting read.
