      Well, yeah, that’s natural selection. The cute ones tend to have higher career salaries on average, so they are able to attract female spiders to mate with.

            Why does every topic necessitate a joke about women wanting men with money?

            WHY?

            We’re talking about spiders ffs

            Gold digger jokes aren’t even clever anymore, like at least have more creativity jesus christ

                That user is notoriously self-righteousness about grandstanding whenever gender is even slightly mentioned. Even when other women tell her she’s being obnoxious.

                    That’s hilarious because I’m not even a transphobe, so that fits right in with your character of calling people various kinds of intolerant in order to feel like you’re on a moral pedestal

                    You’re agreeing with someone banned from multiple communities for their transphobic attacks.

                    But yeah, my self awareness is non-existent.

                    Good allies you got there!

                Oh no, I’m being a killjoy for all the jokes about misogyny, rape, and pedophilia in this site?

                Yeah I’m the one in the wrong.

                I’ve got messages in my inbox justifying electing a rapist regardless of political identity and we can’t even talk about spiders without someone making jokes about how shitty women are.

                Whatever.

                  we can’t even talk about spiders without someone making jokes about how shitty women are.

                  Funny thing coming back to this thread and answering a few more replies about people’s admiration for spiders, it kind of hit me that once you collapse your initial comment about the light-hearted joke, people can actually just talk about spiders. Like all the off topic talk was caused by you and no one else.

                  The initial joke is even biologically accurate.

                  The cute ones tend to have higher career salaries on average, so they are able to attract female spiders to mate with.

                  Not in all, but some (very prominently the “peacock spiders”), the males absolutely have to be cute and perform a literal dance … with a high chance of getting eaten by the female if they don’t live up to her standards.

                  So yeah, that joke is actually pretty good if you knew a fucking thing about spider biology. But you had to come here and inject your brand of self-righteous feminism into it. Great job.

                    Gold digger jokes are inherently misogynistic. I’m allowed my opinion when someone comments at me with said joke.

                    Scolding me isn’t going to change my mind here. Do you feel better though?

              If women as a rule preferred men with good personalities over men with a lot of money, then why would Elon Musk have so many kids?

              Try being a broke man with a decent personality and then tell me where golddigger jokes come from, goddamn.

              Or just go over to reddit dating advice and count how many times a woman explains to a guy that even though his looks and personality might be okay, if he’s making minimum wage then he’s not going to be viewed as a viable long-term partner…

              The second largest family of spiders are literally the “money spiders”.

                  You should consider some gold digging, maybe you can buy yourself a sense of humour.

                    It’s so funny to punch down on women, you’re right! I don’t know how I never realized before that women are so fucking shitty and it’s so fucking funny to laugh how they traditionally were held back from real career opportunities and were forced to rely on men for support and now we laugh and laugh and laugh about how they were subjugated and now have to deal with a glass ceiling and men laughing at their struggles.

                    It’s SO FUNNY, isn’t it?
