    Okay, but shouldn’t her speech about feminism be the reason these men are watching her, rather than her appearance?

    Yes, she’s beautiful, I get that. But in this case, she’s speaking about feminism and eaquality, and the first reaction is, “Oh wow, she looks good,” or “Damn, that ass.”

    I think that’s disrespectful and undermines the message of her speech. She’s not there as an actress, but as an advocate for women’s rights.

      Arguably, the meme maker is the one framing a still picture as a sexualized moment and thus is the one creating the sexist narrative from a still that we don’t have the context on.

        Ahh I miss that 4chan meme. This whole thread is and it applies to about 95% of what’s posted on social media now. Back then it was Markov chains doing the heavy lifting, now GPTs.

        From looking down the accounts of people who actually post memes in /c/politics, their whole accounts look AI generated to blatantly manipulate users.
