Can you explain to an ancient and out of touch 30something what “women:coffee cup” means or implies?

[-] raccoona_nongrata@beehaw.org 35 points 1 year ago

It's not a particularly complicated meme, it's essentially a way of showing casual dismissal of women and their concerns as unserious. Usually it's formatted as the word "women" with a coffee cup emoji.

It originated from a video of two video game characters simply saying "Heh, women" and then laughing together in kind of a derisive way and sipping coffee. It's a really stupid meme and is just a way to be lowkey misogynist.

Blech. Thanks for the explanation.

The whole thing especially pisses me off because the original video was meant to criticize misogyny

It kind of means women shouldn't be taken seriously, because they're just "silly little airheads" who just cook and clean.
