Are sunglasses a tool of the patriarchy?

[CT_CD]

Yes

No

Something else

[Iamagoodguy]

Just because she said that I’m buying some sunglasses

[Iamagoodguy]

Mho?

[Iamagoodguy]

Thank you

[Tohhhru]

this makes me want to drill my eyes out

[CheerGirl38139]

That has to be satire

[ericclayton]

Common wisdom would say yes, but you never know with some people.

[CheerGirl38139]

Thanks. ✌

[ZoeAdams2]

It's hard these days to tell satire from what these people really say.

[douride2]

I think not.

I'd like to imagine there's a person that sits down in her bed every day thinking of new ways to impress her Facebook group.

She could never think of an original topic, until suddenly, a flashbulb appears over her head.

"I've got it, anime is sexist!"

She runs over to her computer, closes Tumblr, and starts writing, but something catches her eye, and a look of despair is expressed from her face as she gazes at her monitor.

"Dammit, this bitch already posted it!" she grumbled as she gazed upon a Facebook post titled "Anime is sexist due to the unrealistic style of drawing women. End Japan's sexism, and stop watching anime. The likes, the dislikes, the angry reacts, the heart reacts, the laughing reacts, all stolen, by her friend Janet.

Fucking Janet stole the spotlight again, for this poor attention seeker.

But a glimmer of light appears in her head, once more she thinks to herself "no... No, that's been said before, what hasn't been said yet?" as she ponders until it finally dawns on her.

"I've got it! Sunglasses are sexist!"

She pounds on her keyboard at the speed and intensity of her need for acknowledgement, as she finally writes and posts the text displayed above. Her friends ate it up, praised her, called her a hero, called her a pioneer, called her a retard. All eyes were on her now, she is now "that girl who thought sunglasses were sexist." Was it a challenge? Well you may ask that, but I'll ask you this in return.

Is anything worth accomplishing so easily executed? No, her bravery and sacrifice paid off for the 19 minutes of user interaction and the day of nothing but sharing this screenshot with her name blurred out. A price to pay, for a truly epic story.

It was fun reading this but there is a piece of truth, some people wear sunglasses to check out girls without being noticed, but ofc you can't stop people from wearing sunglasses only because of that, this girl is funny in ridiculous ways but she also has a point in somewhat

[deliriousmistakess]

Women wear sunglasses to check out girls without being noticed.

[anmari2001]

That's true
I said people, not only guys

[Hannajenky]

If i want to wear sunglasses and stare at whatever the fuck I want to it is none of your concern. If you dont like it then stay inside

[anmari2001]

Wow chill, I said "BUT OFC YOU can't STOP PEOPLE WEARING SUNGLASSES "
Nobody can tell you what to wear but thete are people who wear glasses to check other people out and this is how it is

[Twat_Twig]

This shit is getting out of hand lol. At this point they're just making shit up for attention. Stupid fucking feminists. Unless this is satire of course. Which I can see that being the case too

[Udbhav_Bantwal]

No they are not, it's just another way for those type of women to try and control men in the name of "feminism", people like this are the reason why so many people take feminism as a joke, they're undermining the whole point...

[Deydey12345]

Why are females so offended by that? Only negative comments from them bashing the girl..
Yet men are very chill with her post.
This is a problem outside of this post as well.

[AlienParasite]

Yes. Also umbrellas, pijamas and spoons are pratriarchal. So stop using them. Oh, and brains are patriarcal too. That's why some of us stopped using it. Yay.

[CHARismatic110]

So does it stand the same for women when we wear sunglasses? The logic... or lack thereof. I can't.

[SarahsSummer]

Moronic. Sunglasses job is to protect everyone’s eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays

[Sucram]

Your average cheap sunglasses don't protect you from UV, they make things worse because your pupils are widened since everything is darker, so more UV can enter your eyes, but the glasses don't protect you from it.
Unless you extra check for the UV block, they probably do more harm than protection.

[SarahsSummer]

@Sucram thank you captain obvious.

[wankiam]

she makes a good point but she needs to get over it. men will always ogle. its just the catcalling that needs to stop

[Bishop-Brennan]

They're for what everyone buys them for, sure that aspect can be a nice bonus for some people but it's not the purpose of sunglasses.

[Cwazzycwafter]

I use them to hide my tears. My *choked up cough* masculine tears..

[hellionthesagereborn]

well I mean everything is a tool to of the patriarchy so its a trick question.

[Sucram]

I see more women wearing sunglasses than men...
Hmmm...
So that's why they are wearing them.

[kreamykraemez]

no I actually have vision problems because the sun has glared in my eyes so much we're not sexual robots we're humans lol that want to live and be healthy

[WhitePanther88]

I mostly wear them for the sun but yeah on the beach I do oggle girls

[GreatnessBack]

My answer to her: No.
My answer to you: Stop reading dumb shit.

[esotericstory]

Seems like I am gonna start wearing sun glasses since today then

[LegateLanius]

No. She's an idiot. I hope she burns her eyes and can't see anymore out of stupidity.

[Anonymous]

I'm willing to stop looking at women if they pay me $100 each. What can I say? I'm cheap but I'm not free.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Guys with sunglasses are only staring at girls if they think that way.
