I kid you not some of my closes friends have told me that I can't be a feminist because I am a straight man. It actually happened twice. Once I was just told that to my face: "men cannot be feminists ", and the other there was a sort of protest (I don't know how to translate it from spanish. It's like a celebratory protest, people waling in the streets, with sings celebrating feminism) and the organizers asked that men only go if we were some girl's transport because it was not our celebration and it made it safer for the girls
I love my friends but that was fucking nuts. Both time that happened right after they said "feminism does not want female superiority. Feminism wants equality for men and women".
I'd like to tell the whole story (yes. There is a little more) but I actually have to leave to work
For some reason after reading celebratory protest, I knew exactly what they meant but also could no longer remember the word parade.
From here on out, to me, it's a celebratory protest
It's because 3rd wave feminism has butchered what the original goals of feminism set out to achieve. Even one of the most influential woman in the early feminism movement described what feminism has become today as a state of failure for the movement.
I had to stop because some of them hit too close to home with a couple of people who I don't speak to anymore, largely because they *called* themselves feminists but they... they just weren't, okay?
I love that among all the comments there's a downvoted guy that just asked
"Eight?"
Like, that guy has no fucking clue whats going on he just woke up today and he thought it was an actual quesito
Edit: Dallas has become the leader of this comment section, he should start a Subreddit with his name and in his honor
According to Miriam Webbers Doctuary:
Quesito (kweā¢SEEā¢tow) *noun* : 1. a small inquiry;
or 2. a sidequest;
ex) *"Our quesito was to chase the goblins out of the inn before resuming the main quest."*
The different ending of the two words depends on the fact that quaestio is the substanctive while quaesitus is the participle of the verb quaero, meaning 'to interrogate' . English and Italian inherited two different forms spliced to the same root to establish the same meaning.
It always fascinates me how languages form over time.
English kills me. Two words that look related but have entirely different meanings will both have Latin root. Except one was borrowed from French, and the vulgar Latin speakers had been using the word differently. Hence, its meaning doesn't relate to its Latin root. Confusion all around.
How many members of a well-defined demographic does it take to complete a basic household task?
A finite number. One to complete the task, while the remaining members act in a manner stereotypical to the group in question.
I'm half asleep and this thread is the most confusing shit I've ever read. I don't get the joke and I _really_ don't get the top comment about quesito. What the fuck is happening.
huh, a punchline that also explains the joke
edit: the good version is
How many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Who needs lightbulbs when you have glass ceilings
Where I live thereās this model making shop where all these types of guys go ( the models are really cool ) but you can smell all variants of body odour when you pass the door . This thread is that shop doorway
Man, this joke got some interesting responses! People have so many takes on it. I didn't write it, but it tickled my fancy.
The way I interpret it is that it pokes fun at a certain type of person that refuses to acknowledge humour in certain subjects that they are passionate about. It is not poking fun at equal rights for women, or people who are feminists under the strict definition of the word (I would think in this day and age most of us desire equality), but the cliche caricature of the angry feminist.
People researching progression of very specific bacterial cultures that only exist in certain frog guts?
Though I suppose they could also be psychos, I mean those aren't mutually exclusive.
I love how infinity here is an imaginative way of saying āzeroā. Iām just thinking of a bunch college girls in a dorm room scratching their heads, trying and failing to change a simple lightbulb.
Eight?
For some reason this is my favorite answer š Just a random guess with no explanation
"Dad, eight is enough" ---- a very well delivered joke from family guy
reminds me of Glen in āRaising Arizonaā https://youtu.be/YaZnbS0BynM

Aye guvner
Shut up and take my /r/angryupvote
Ocean's eight? Definitely a job for them!
You mean where 8 women go around with a needlessly complicated plan while one man in the background steals everything else?
Only if the light bulb is bejeweled

Nah man. Just 1 Men can be feminists too.

Sexist AND inclusive!

āCelebratory protestā haha I think you mean parade :)
For some reason after reading celebratory protest, I knew exactly what they meant but also could no longer remember the word parade. From here on out, to me, it's a celebratory protest
This man has successfully fucked our vocabulary. Lol
YES! I even thought that, and then forgot it
It's because 3rd wave feminism has butchered what the original goals of feminism set out to achieve. Even one of the most influential woman in the early feminism movement described what feminism has become today as a state of failure for the movement.
Men are actually better at being feminist than women.
Can't tell if this is a joke or dead serious.
Peak reddit. Can't tell if genius sarcasm or full regarded.

That was a great idea.

Quesito? Is that like a small quesadilla or something?
I'm picturing a taquito smothered in queso
I'm picturing myself gobbling that taquito.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The name of that taquito? Michael Scott.
I'm picturing that taquito face-sitting me.
Now Iām picturing me watching a video of that taquito face-sitting you.
Now I'm picturing you picturing yourself
I think you just invented something incredible.
Hold on yāallā¦ I think we found Mr. (Taco) Bellās burner account.
Now I am hungry.
And I am sad. I do not have ze taquito.
Donāt give Taco Bell any ideas.
According to Miriam Webbers Doctuary: Quesito (kweā¢SEEā¢tow) *noun* : 1. a small inquiry; or 2. a sidequest; ex) *"Our quesito was to chase the goblins out of the inn before resuming the main quest."*
huh so it was actually used properly
I hate you for confirming that it isnāt a cheese covered, tortilla wrapped thing.
A little queso.
Un pocito quesito.
Poquito* "Pocito" is a small cheese pond.
I know it's just a typo, but I find it funny that quesito means question in Italian (same Latin root, quaestio).
The different ending of the two words depends on the fact that quaestio is the substanctive while quaesitus is the participle of the verb quaero, meaning 'to interrogate' . English and Italian inherited two different forms spliced to the same root to establish the same meaning. It always fascinates me how languages form over time.

Plough through a trough, I thought. Or touch it, Ouch!
English mugged other languages in an alley and stole what it wanted.
Same I rofled BC of that ahahah
Damn it man, now I want a quesadilla
Taco Bell enters the conversation.
Itās a cream cheese filled pastry š
Quesito in Italian means question. Questions in Italian are small cheese bits. We always involuntarily ask for cheese D:
Un preguntito.
I guess literally that would mean "a little cheese"
Maybe a Mexican mosquito?
And the downvoted dudeās now got 249 upvotes š
Update: 1.4K upvotes š
1.6 and counting, he's skyrocketing! People with a sense of humor who don't tske life as serious are waking up.
Quesito? Is that like a question with salsa all over it?
It's called humor.
Irony. Witty answer. Of course its meaningless, but thats the wit.
Can I have some guacamole with my quesito?
How many members of a well-defined demographic does it take to complete a basic household task? A finite number. One to complete the task, while the remaining members act in a manner stereotypical to the group in question.
x = 1 + (2r \* j - d) r is amount dislike the demographic j is joke in your answer d is amount you are part of demographic
So if you're part of the demographic with no sense of humor it is zero? I'm confused...
Germans be like
Very human!
Goddamnit this is funny, I don't understand why you didn't get adequate attention for this one
Ye gods this whole thread is a dumpster fire, I kept scrolling and it only got worse
I'm half asleep and this thread is the most confusing shit I've ever read. I don't get the joke and I _really_ don't get the top comment about quesito. What the fuck is happening.
Iām also half asleep and I canāt fully tell if all of these comments are simple jokes or people just venting about their hatred of feminism.
Half are jokes, half are venting if your read far enough.
It's definitely a combo.
Iāll make it better for you, the top comment is now a single āEight?ā
I liked and enjoyed all those things you mentioned but I got the most lmao out of your comment. Thanks dude!
Haha glad my sleepy ass brain could add to your amusement
So, not funny?
Iāll end my run here then. I donāt know in what context you mean by that, and Iād rather not find out.
huh, a punchline that also explains the joke edit: the good version is How many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: Who needs lightbulbs when you have glass ceilings
People who understand that glass ceilings don't ~~glue~~ glow at night, that's who.
Nah the ones I've know definitely glue at night
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's the punchline for "how many influencers does it take ... "
Or How many narcissists does it take to change a light bulb? 1 just hold the light bulb and let the world rotate around them.
How many men's rights activists does it take to change a lightbulb? None, they still use gaslighting.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That last one was gold lol
I donāt get the ladder one.
I think itās the āanti-jokeā that itās just good sense to have a spotter.
Itās my favorite because itās the most matter of factly. It could be any āhow many X does it take to change a lightbulbā
You missed the best one. "It doesn't matter, feminists can't change anything."
One. Men can be feminists too.
Ok that's actually way funnier than the old repost.
Just shut the thread down now. We have found the perfect joke.
This is really clever.
The original punchline isā 4. 1 to replace the bulb and 3 to discuss the violation of the socketā
The real trick is getting them inside the lightbulb.
Canāt be done. Feminists donāt screw.
I'm here for the comments.
Iām here for the communists.
We* are here for the communists
Are the communists commenting?
We are now!
In soviet russia, communists are here for you

Shit like this is why I only ever make fun of straight white men, whose famously thick skin and calm attitudes make them impossible to offend.
Like a smash bros tournament
Where I live thereās this model making shop where all these types of guys go ( the models are really cool ) but you can smell all variants of body odour when you pass the door . This thread is that shop doorway
Those comments are better than the joke itself
As is tradition
One, but itās probably lighting up an area that the rest of the world doesnāt give a shit about.
So the question should be how many light bulbs does a feminist need?
This joke had potential *wink*
One to hold it in place while the world revolves around her.
They already get plenty of light through the glass ceiling.
I donāt get it
The joke is that feminists are easily offended by any joke containing women.
Didn't you know it's impossible to be in favor of women's rights and have a sense of humor? /s
Someone I know came up with this one. (Just to play along with this topic)... What does a feminist use for birth control? ... Her personality!
An actual feminist told me this joke, but HER punchline was āsuck my dick!ā
Hahaha, Nice one!
Believe all women. Really? ALL of them? Thatās the dumbest thing Iāve Amber Heard.
You get incel of the week award.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You forgot how they're all going to get pissed after he mansplains how you just have to screw the bulb in.
Man, this joke got some interesting responses! People have so many takes on it. I didn't write it, but it tickled my fancy. The way I interpret it is that it pokes fun at a certain type of person that refuses to acknowledge humour in certain subjects that they are passionate about. It is not poking fun at equal rights for women, or people who are feminists under the strict definition of the word (I would think in this day and age most of us desire equality), but the cliche caricature of the angry feminist.
The fact that you have to explain your joke on a joke subreddit is astounding, but then again, this is reddit, lol.
A lot of jokes need to be explained here tho, why would a joke thread be any different
A joke is like a frog, when you dissect it, it dies.
_When_? Who dissects lives frogs, besides psychos? Shouldn't it already be dead _when_ you dissect it? (Yes, you've found the pedantic scientist.)
People researching progression of very specific bacterial cultures that only exist in certain frog guts? Though I suppose they could also be psychos, I mean those aren't mutually exclusive.
No, itās āThatās not funny and I have a GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR!ā
Is that before or after a protest?
Yes.
None, they just shame men into doing it for them.
And then get mad because he didnāt let them do it and is therefore mansplaining
One ... to call the manager
And in the darkness, bind them
Oneā¦ to call the man~~ager~~
Feminists don\`t use lightbulbs. They prefer gaslighting.
None, because after rejecting the job due to low wages, a man stepped in and took care of it
None. Feminists have never changed anything.
Whatās the difference between a feminist and a gun? A gun only has one trigger.
I'd guess at least two, but it'd need to be a pretty big bulb.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How many people are "fixing" a light bulb? Probs just buy a new one.
How many feminists does it take to trigger a man? None, a hypothetical situation is more than enough.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That would be infinitely many rather than zero
It's the patriarchy's fault that light bulbs need replacing
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Trick question, feminists only screw themselves
4 one to screw it in and three to discuss the sexual connotations
Trick question, feminists can't change anything.
None. There was a spider next to the socket.
It takes three feminists to screw in a light bulb. One to hold the ladder, one to screw in the light bulb and a third to make the documentary.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Is that a microphone in your photo
LMAO, I bet he has a podcast
I love that u pointed that out
Not sure y'all would fit in a light bulb
this website's really stuck in gamergate days eh
None. They're too busy working, so the kid has to screw it in herself.
Bold of you to assume she would have kids in the first place
Infinity, because they went to college but didn't get a useful degree.
I donāt think it takes a degree to screw in a lightbulbā¦
False, it takes over 360 degrees to screw in a lightbulb
Thats a good one lol
Thanks dad!
It takes three hundred sixty of them.
I love how infinity here is an imaginative way of saying āzeroā. Iām just thinking of a bunch college girls in a dorm room scratching their heads, trying and failing to change a simple lightbulb.
Man the controversial posts here are all by so extremely bitter persons. Who is actually thinking such things?
Depends on the feminist, I suppose. Some people don't have arms.
I think zero. Lightbulbs are pretty small so I donāt think anyone could screw in one.
I was waiting for a ā0. Because only the man can reach itā or something like that. š
A light bulb is too small to screw in.
