Some jokes or comments are simply calling for a person to bring their author down a notch, especially when they are borderline sexist or misogynistic; and they often find what they were calling for.
Some of such instances can be found on ‘The Female Dating Strategy’ subreddit—the only dating subreddit exclusively for women, according to its description. Scroll down to find them on the list below and see for yourself what matters women would like their male counterparts to be aware of or pay attention to.

How Are We Meant To Know?
That Really Puts It In Perspective
Wholesome
and less people like their unfortunately awful son :(

How decent of them. Wonder how their son turned out to be such a wanker.
My brother mistreated my sister in-law and they separated and eventually divorced. My entire side of the family supported him because he was blood, but he was very much in the wrong. Divorce was pretty messy. My wife and I decided to support her instead. We still see my brother at family gatherings, but we're much closer with my SIL who is just as much as my sister as he's my brother as far as I'm concerned.
Tell those dingsh*t family members to take that cheating scoundrel in instead!!! Sheesh...!!!
The people who are criticizing the OP are not family - only relatives.
God Bless You!! Actually, He already did. By showing you both what a POS he is. Your money would have been wasted with him getting it. Now you will be able to enjoy your Grandbaby and his mother. They're family. He's a sad mistake of nature. Grown a*s man made his choice. The rest of the family can ride the rusty razorblade of shut the heck up and mind your own business. Let them leave him some of their money. IMO....
Taking in a family member(s) when they are in an impossible situation is an easy decision to make. You see someone you love in pain because of another family member- there really is no other choice - you protect them. It's the days and months (sometimes years) that follow that are hard. Cutting a child, sibling or family member out of your life can be horrendously difficult, but sometimes needs must and you just have to focus on the one you are trying to help.
It's THEIR money, THEY can do whatever they want with it. The son has no claims to it. I think the parents are very good people to take in their daughter in law and of course the baby too.
My best friends husband left her with 2 small kids and one of them was born sick. She lived with her mother in law for months and still has a good bond with her. Her mother in law doesn't talk to her son anymore. He came to live with his mom after the new girl he was seeing have birth,demanded that my friend leaves the apartment , him and his new gf made a mess there and did d***s and then left after a few months. Good mothers in law exist and while I'm sure they care about their kids,they also have a different moral compass.
True dat! We need more of you and your husband. Your son is wrong. How else will he learn this massive lesson? Next life perhaps...
Good for you and your husband. Stand your ground, you are on the right side of this.
Your family seems to have some real losers in it. He did wrong. She's getting blamed. Go no contact with the idiots. Family is who you choose to include. You welcomed her when your son married her and suddenly your expected to dump her because he's a loser? Your will is what you leave as a memoriam. You don't owe it to anyone. It's a gift. Your son turned out to be self-centred. You're thinking of his child. Keep doing you. Ignore the naysayers.
Now there's a rarity. Not just doing what's right, but NOT saying "blood above all else". I've lost count of scum (none are "friends" because of it) who say they would cover for a sibling or other relative.
Can you cut the other members out of the will? It went that way for the son, they'll get the same!
Parents do NOT owe their grown children anything. It is their decision what to do with their money.
My Paternal grandparents did this to my biological father after he left my mom and the three kids for a woman that he got pregnant. Grandparents helped raise us, helped support us and DOTED on my Mom! Mom adored them before and lost it when they were gone. As did we all
Good for them! Blood doesn't make it ok to do stuff like this, ignore yourresponsibilities & not expect repercussions. Heaven help any of my boys if they pulled a stunt like that!
I applaud you. Your son is a an a$$hole for abandoning his wife and child.
I mean he's technically acting presidential.... #sorrynotsorry
At first I thought it said that the wife was the one cheating and mistreating the son and I was like WHAT but this is great
Please reach an understanding with your PARTNER regarding a divorce, split, or breakup prior to moving in.
They've taken in the mother and child now, it's in the post. Postpartum is an important medical term: "The postpartum period begins soon after the delivery of the baby and usually lasts six to eight weeks and ends when the mother's body has nearly returned to its pre-pregnant state. The postpartum period for a woman and her newborn is very important for both short-term and long-term health and well-being." Source: NIH
Load More Replies...It’s clear to anyone who’s ever spent more than five minutes online that not every comment out there is a positive one or that there might be posts and thoughts shared that could be considered ambiguous at best. Both instances often entail traces—or an entire portion—of misogyny - contempt or prejudice directed specifically at women.
While clearly not every internet user—male or female—is there to spread hate or negative views towards a certain group of people, such negativity is unfortunately not that rare of an occurrence. According to Statista, negative comments and generally abusive language tops the list of the most common forms of negative prejudice against women online, which is followed by sexist and misogynistic remarks as well as actual threats.

Unbelievable that this is how some tax dollars are spent, including, of course, women’s taxes.. 😬
Perfect Way To Deal With Their “Jokes”
According to the Canadian Women’s Foundation, as many as 44% of women aged 16 to 30 are targeted by online hate speech. But be it said type of speech, sexist remarks, or simply unpleasant comments that could have been kept to oneself, some women believe authors of all of the above are worth taking down a notch, and so they often take it upon themselves to do it.
The Hypocrisy
This Sh*t Right Here!!
It's a horrible feeling. It's a feeling of regret and worthlessness and feeling used and it's just horrible. My best friend for most of middle school... turned out he thought I'd be "easy" (turns out how much he really knew me because most people know I'm Christian and waiting until marriage). I just felt like I'd wasted the last few years of my life.
Here’s What A HVM Looks Like In His Own Words, Then Shared By A Guy Friend Who I Know Is A HVM To His Wife
While online comments directed at women focus on all sorts of aspects of their life—from career choices to their bodies, and beyond—some of them work as reminders that females are not always presented with the same rights or responsibilities in life as their male counterparts are, which is something feminists have long been fighting for. According to Pew Research Center’s 2020 data, more than three-in-five women in the US see themselves as feminists.
No Lies Told
Pew Research Center’s 2020 survey found that while many women consider themselves feminists, the extent to which they feel the term represents them well seemingly differs depending on age, education, and political views. Younger females with a college degree, representing the Democratic political party are reportedly more likely to say that the term ‘feminist’ describes them very well.
All Straight Men
I need a friend like him. As an asexual woman, no matter how oft I tell that I'm not into relationships, especially sexua1 ones, the only male response is "lol you should just try it with me and you will be cured". I'm tired of it. It's not a sickness that is curable by seX. I just want to have friends.
I'd like to add "do you see a book as competition for your time and attention"?
People’s views seem to differ not only in regards to how well the term ‘feminist’ describes them, but also in regards to how they see the movement itself. According to said survey from 2020, the majority of people in the US—roughly 64% of them—believe that feminism is empowering, four-in-ten say that it’s inclusive, too; however, nearly as many as the latter find it polarizing, while a third of Americans say it’s outdated.
Yeah Yeah I Know The Answer Is Just To Leave, But This Visual Is Hilarious!
this isnt exclusively a women-to-men kind of thing. Of course, in this context it speaks volumes about how some women (and men too, but personally ive heard more women facing this issue) face blatant disrespect in relationships, but this can also really just be used as life advice regarding toxic people. Don't be toxic and don't let toxic people in, whether in friendship, relationships (I guess especially this one though, because they'd be closer to you and stuff), or just life! have a lovely day x
In addition to women taking down toxic men or showing support for certain feminism-driven ideas, the examples on this list also depict certain expectations—or lack thereof—women have when it comes to men and dating. While some of them are not something extreme or out of the ordinary—a gesture as simple as making plans for the first date can seemingly go a long way—women (especially those with a college degree) reportedly find it more difficult than men to find a partner who would meet their expectations.

Misogyny At Its Finest. I Chortled
I'm in the UK and our houses are small. We had a couch delivered a couple of years ago. I told the guys when they arrived to take it in thru the close and bring it in thru the back door. It's wider and there isn't a sharp turn from the front door and into the living room (I had already taken the kitchen door off the hinges for the couch to fit thru). But did they listen? Nope. Half an hour of trying to get it into the living room from the front.....not only did they ding the door frame, but they managed to get it wedged in the stairway and pull up a bit of the carpet. After I told them again about taking it around the back they finally listened to me and spent another half hour getting it back outside. 20 mins later I was sitting on my new couch, seriously pïssed! If my hubs had been home, how much you wanna bet, they would have done what I said immediately!

Cry Me A River
100%
The strip club is not the problem, it's the "last night of freedom" stupidity that is. That means the person saying it sees future with their partner as constricting how they want to live their life. It means they're not happy about their vows. The person who's against them going clearly doesn't trust them, either with cause or without. There's nothing wrong with watching a strip show, but it should never, ever involve touching. And for the record, I've worked strip clubs. Women are worse than the men as an audience, and the male strippers have no way to safely defend themselves as if they touch a woman to stop them the women invariably lie and cry victim.

It's been over 20 years, and I still litereally dream of him sometimes.

What Power Shift?? Lies Men Tell. Women Get Better With Age
Men get "more desirable" with age because it takes them 40 years to learn how to take a shower and read a book, and unfortunately, though women their age know better, some younger women are impressed by how much they stand out from younger men by seemingly matching the maturity one would expect from the average fetus.

A few days ago, some girl next to me was playing a video without earbuds, but they were listening quietly so I didn't mind, and it was a guy and a girl reacting to stuff. I remember hearing guy sating: I could never cheat, I'm terrible at lying i'd get caught lol. and my first thought was just: so if you WERE better at lying you WOULD cheat????
so many of these are so ON POINT; some were even funny enough that I had to lol (true life experiences).
I agree with most, but rape is extremely specific, so for you to suggest that an unwanted touch or shaming a person is rape is just ludicrous. It absolutely is not rape.
