It’s kinda funny, I get that they were being sarcastic, but I read this message as sincere for me. I do like my stimulants and my desk job.
Used to be a plumber, and nothing will make you appreciate working in a climate controlled room with a computer quite like having to get out a jackhammer to dig pipe trenches because the ground has frozen solid in the middle of winter.
Grass is always greener I guess.
Honestly, it kind of fucking breaks my heart. I usually love the climate and culture on Lemmy. But every time this shit comes up, there is an overwhelming outcry to try and downplay the role of sexism, to highlight outliers in the data while ignoring the obvious trends, and a fuck ton of lemmings do their best Tucker Carlson impression and “just ask questions” that coincidentally reinforce a misogynistic world view.
