Maybe because men weren’t seen as second-class citizens and aren’t used to being objectified, belittled or physically and legally forced into a submissive role.

I don’t like leaving serious comments on a place like this, especially since you are right that’s how most men would react, just felt I had to say something since calling women ‘females’ is actually quite seriously wrong (even though they are afterall) and the fact that men don’t experience this behaviour as something scary it makes that clear. I like this meme because it empowers women to do as they please, and I think you do not mean to defend mysogonists who want to dehumanise women, but some people might read into your comment ‘well the reason woman get upset by this is because women are [something negative], while men are [something positive]’.

Women’s lib has a mere 50yrs on it and there’s still work to do. People lose sight of how new it is for women to own their own bank accounts and such.

No most people will give you a very weird look if you refer to a man as a male in the pronoun sense.

“How are you doing, males?” would make you sound like a fuckin alien pretending to be a human lol.
