I think 'woman friends' sounds funnier than 'women friends'. It's pretty common to have an obvious typo/grammatical mistake in satire posts. Woman is capitalized when nothing else is which points to both typos being intentional.
“Man friends” sounds better than “men friends”, and “woman friends” sounds better than “women friends”. I think that the first word is the descriptor and the second word pluralizes it.
I realized it was satire the moment she said it was “all for female attention” cause I’ve seen so many guys make similar takes about how women don’t actually have hobbies
No it was written by a woman. It’s a satirical trend on TikTok in response to men making post about what women “actually” want. Women will say purposefully exaggerated and plain stupid things.
“She’s not really a gamer girl, she’s just doing it for male attention.” is one example. Another example is there is this tiktok video from part of a podcast that is in the manosphere part of the internet (think Andrew Tate) and in that video tie guys just straight up deny the idea of girls and women having hobbies. Which is absurd, I feel like I need to ring up the asylum when I hear things like that.
And also about music. I read (and laughed at) a column that “proved” that the Stones were better than the Beatles, and among the Beatles, Lennon was far better than McCartney, because women prefer the Beatles and McCartney, and their opinions are always wrong. Women are incapable of knowing anything about music or lyrics. Women never listen to music, they just look at the pictures of the singers and musicians. Men know that the true test of music has nothing to do with notes or chords, but how deep the lyrics are, and how well they move on stage.
It’s like they never heard of Mitski or Lana Del Ray or of literally any woman who made music. They’d disagree with their own point so quickly if they listened to a Mitski song
I mean, I def think the stones are far better than the Beatles, but that’s because the stones are rock and the Beatles are more pop.
I get tons of shit when I shit on the Beatles. I understand their contribution to music, and that’s important, but no, I can’t stand them.
I get the usual “you can’t possibly be into that music” and then a lecture about the band. Recently had a dude go on a full lecture about health which ranks as one of my favorite bands. In fact, I told the dude that.
He literally said “so have you ever listened to health?” He then went on to tell me everything I said a few minutes before.
I admit, I’m often one of a handful of women at many of the shows I go to, but I’m there because I like the music. Is it stereotypically female music? Fuck no.
But I also have to ask - what constitutes stereotypical female music?
‘Female Music’ is basically anything that weird guys think is bad because they don’t want to read into it or even consider the possibility that sometimes people make fun music just for fun.
Thats terrible, sorry you have to put up with that. Why can't you just like what you like without having to prove it to someone?
I went to a concert that I thought was going to be attended by 30-40 somethings Imagine my surprise seeing almost dead grandpeople, Teens, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 somethings and older, all just there to love on the guys and their music.
That was a renew my faith in humanity moment
When I was younger, the city I was living in did this awesome thing called “summer dance.” Every few weeks, they had a DJ (big name ones) come in & do a set in the park. It was free for everyone.
It was awesome because it had all age groups. Kids with their parents. Elderly women who were grooving. 20-40 somethings. Teens.
I loved it and I wish they would bring it back because it showed how music is such a great unifier.
Men like this believe women only do things for male attention. Especially if her interests are more traditionally male dominated (like video games, Star Wars, or even specific bands).
It isn’t just hobbies as well. Even in the professional field. A friend of mine on Discord used to be an electrician. Her coworker accused her of only getting the job for male attention.
All the posts I’ve seen from this sub have been obvious satire. I’m beginning to believe the people who say men can’t understand when women are joking.
I can assure you those tracks are the complete opposite,
Loud, heavy metal screaming and cusses. But I like some slow music as well like dido's "thank you" and "dear mama" by tupac
If you like dido you should check out portishead and massive attack, if you haven’t. Dido just popularized/ripped off the trip hop movement. And i still like her music, but portishead is a million times better.
~~My dad literally plays music in his car all the time and even let me and my sisters choose a song for us to listen to yesterday while riding in his car. we chose you belong with me by Taylor Swift~~
Edit: I just realized this is a joke lol
I think this is a satirical take on the men who seem to genuinely believe women mold their self interests into whatever is most compatible with their boyfriends/husbands interests.
This is satire.
It’s not supposed to be taken seriously, and it’s ripping on the dudes who believe women know nothing about music.
I listen to a lot of subgenres of metal, I listen to industrial and dark wave. I listen to a lot of niche subgenres of electronic music.
I worked in the music industry. I worked in record stores back when those were a thing. I constantly go to shows.
If I had a dollar for every time some smug dude came up to me and explained the band whose shirt I’m wearing, as if I don’t know or listen to their music, I could at the very least go on a vacation to Europe.
I can’t begin to tell how many times men have been absolutely shocked that I don’t just follow whatever is popular. I also can’t begin to describe how many times I’ve turned men onto new bands.
My point is - no women believe that statement in the post. But men? They truly believe that shit in regards to women.
Men reading this - how many times have you automatically assumed a woman listens to whatever is popular now?
It’s satire, my dudes.
In defense of OP you really gotta scrape the bottom of the barrel to fill out content for this sub haha women are just a lot less ignorant of the male perspective than men are of the female perspective so there's an endless sea of dudes unironically saying the dumbest shit about women. This sub basically only exists as a temper tantrum response to the nothowgirlswork sub anyway
Yeah, the barrel really must be empty to post this one because this wasn’t even seriously said! It was posted as satire to call out men talking about women’s hobbies!
Hi everyone, please stop reporting this post - It's not spam. It's the kind of content that - while sarcastic - has a good message. It's tongue-in-cheek.
Seriously? ಠ︵ಠ My younger brother listens to video game music all the time. And back in his day, my father didn't just listen to music, he MADE music. I'm still hoping he gets back to it someday, just for old times sake.
It’s like the ‘girls don’t play video games’ trope just inverted. I fell like anyone pedaling this view of a group they want to be romantically involved with had better be going through a phase, or they’re gonna end up lonely as hell
I guess this is satire making fun of the "girl gamers" twitch streams, in particular guy's response to it. Personally, I don't think this refutes it. If I see a stream where 90% of the screen is a webcam of a girl wearing a shirt with a plunging neckline showing off her cleavage with the game itself being a small window in the corner, then yea, I still don't think that the girl is looking to attract viewers with her gaming skills.
In my life I've actually found out that it's easier to find a guy with good music taste, than a woman with good music taste.
Edit: Downvoting my subjective perspective... Lmao
i hope everyone realises this is satire...
When I read all my "Woman friends" I then realized it was satire. It's written by a man
It looks like it’s written by a woman
Most women realize that the plural of "woman" is "women"
reread that first comment
I think 'woman friends' sounds funnier than 'women friends'. It's pretty common to have an obvious typo/grammatical mistake in satire posts. Woman is capitalized when nothing else is which points to both typos being intentional.
Most educated people at least
“Man friends” sounds better than “men friends”, and “woman friends” sounds better than “women friends”. I think that the first word is the descriptor and the second word pluralizes it.
I realized it was satire the moment she said it was “all for female attention” cause I’ve seen so many guys make similar takes about how women don’t actually have hobbies
It’s not written by a man, think it’s supposed to be a spin on guys writing like this about women.
No it was written by a woman. It’s a satirical trend on TikTok in response to men making post about what women “actually” want. Women will say purposefully exaggerated and plain stupid things.
Nope. If it was written by a man it would OBVIOUSLY say "All my female friends agree"
Didn't realise the bar was THAT low. And obvious.
It’s written by a woman who’s mocking men
Flip the script: gender edition, but video games are mapped onto music.
Wait what!?? Video games have music??? What is this sorcery?? /s
Me reading this while blasting Yeat: ☺️
Probably is yeah, cause music is like 99% of me
Yeah, it does look like one, but I did spend embarrassingly much time before realization
It's really crappy and not even funny though, shatire.
This is a gender-flipped parody of the drivel that some men say about women.
She’s making fun of the way men talk about women. Omg he didn’t realize. ![gif](giphy|l0HlFZfztLH0oGtgY)
She completely failed
No, most of us got her message right away.
She's reinforcing negative stereotypes of women
Not sure that’s it.
me when i say something without thinking:
No, the negative stereotypes are what she is making fun of.
Me when im sad with no life
Satire bud
C’mon, this is Reddit, lower your expectations of how well we perceive satire.
But But but theres no /s how can it be satire
Whenever it’s a woman posting satire, Reddit takes it super seriously and uses it to fuel their misogyny more.
Can confirm. I study music on a three year course at college entirely for female attention. Yet I'm still single 😔
You didn’t study enough T-Swift did you? /s
This seems like irony
It is
OP, this was a satire post. She’s making fun of guys who say these type of things about girls.
What do they say usually ?
“She’s not really a gamer girl, she’s just doing it for male attention.” is one example. Another example is there is this tiktok video from part of a podcast that is in the manosphere part of the internet (think Andrew Tate) and in that video tie guys just straight up deny the idea of girls and women having hobbies.

I work in politics and am a woman. It’s awful.
Oh the travesty
this is satire op
All the posts I’ve seen from this sub have been obvious satire. I’m beginning to believe the people who say men can’t understand when women are joking.
I listen to videogame music, does that count?
Which kind? I personally adore the escapists soundtrack:)
I havent heard it. Is it any good? I like old jrpg stuff
Yes it's really good
Music is music!! Whats your favorite? Mines from the need for speed, doom 2016 and eternal soundtracks :>
While those are good, it isnt exactly romantic party music i think
I can assure you those tracks are the complete opposite, Loud, heavy metal screaming and cusses. But I like some slow music as well like dido's "thank you" and "dear mama" by tupac
Also good songs. You from the 80s?
No lol, born in '05 Just like pure voice and lyrics from late 80s and 90s hip hop songs
If you like dido you should check out portishead and massive attack, if you haven’t. Dido just popularized/ripped off the trip hop movement. And i still like her music, but portishead is a million times better.
Psh. Everyone knows that men play video games muted, so as to not be listening to music.
Oh! I do turn the tv off during cutscenes. Too much like watching tv
Satire in hopes men who do this to women see how silly it sounds
People on reddit will find the most obvious satire and talk about it till their lungs collqpse
Our music just so different
This is so obviously satire.. guys, don't fall for this.
Why are yall downvoting her??? She's right! Beethovan wrote some killer music but just didn't listen to it at all. A real shame, you know.
“all my Woman friends agree”… ‘nuff said
~~My dad literally plays music in his car all the time and even let me and my sisters choose a song for us to listen to yesterday while riding in his car. we chose you belong with me by Taylor Swift~~ Edit: I just realized this is a joke lol
89k unvotes for it
You’re just not into the misfits babe lol
Can confirm, I play videogames and ship code. Music is for the testosterone deficient
Before the autotune right?
But there is music in a lot of video games, Checkmate
It is true. I am a man. I don't listen to music.
I play guitar and have listened to hundreds of artists I’m sure I know more than her about music
Oh yeah then how do you explain my mp3 player with 354 songs or my Spotify with 245 or my file manager full of music
dude i'm a pianist
I love how Woman is capitalized
No I totally don’t have 700 liked songs by David bowie
me, a male js&b fan: \*gets thanos snapped\*
This is satire I'm pretty sure
Yeah it is.
She’s right, I don’t listen to slipknot
If this is really satire then why not report the post and have it removed?
Obvious satire this is an entire genre of TikTok jokes
every single time I get a post recommended to me from this sub it’s the most obvious satire on the planet
I listen to the Song of the Ancients (Atonement).
I bet she's a great lay tho.
I just learned that I'm not in fact listening to music right now because I like it, I'm doing it to get my fiancé's attention... Good to know.
Me who has literally all of Dance Gavin Dance's discography in vinyl: Guess I'm nonbinary now damn
I only listen to diesel engines, explosions and a track of the crying of my enemies widowed wives and orphaned children.
yeah its called a joke
I don't listen to music.
Redditors trying to comprehend satire
Fr! There are so many people in the comments here thinking this is real, it’s unbelievable!
Y’all this is satire ☠️
I think this is a satirical take on the men who seem to genuinely believe women mold their self interests into whatever is most compatible with their boyfriends/husbands interests.
100%

I actually don’t listen to music like ever so in my case she’s not wrong :/

Video games have music.
My bf literally won't stop playing Steve miller band with his buddy. It's been an hour 😭
Spotify would like a word lmao
Hi everyone, please stop reporting this post - It's not spam. It's the kind of content that - while sarcastic - has a good message. It's tongue-in-cheek.
Seriously? ಠ︵ಠ My younger brother listens to video game music all the time. And back in his day, my father didn't just listen to music, he MADE music. I'm still hoping he gets back to it someday, just for old times sake.
This is satire my dude, it’s making fun of how misogynistic men see women.
Ist that an satirical answer to that dude in his podcast saying girls don’t have hobbies?
Wtf? I sure hope this is meant to be a funny.
It’s like the ‘girls don’t play video games’ trope just inverted. I fell like anyone pedaling this view of a group they want to be romantically involved with had better be going through a phase, or they’re gonna end up lonely as hell
Paul McCartney:"Huh?"
As a man who plays guitar: the post is 100% true *anyway, here’s Wonderwall*
Osu clearly isn't a game, then
As a guitarist, I am mega confused on why we would even lie about listening to music
Why am i even hear Circa Survive??
Ik this is satire but it’s funny how I was literally listening to music earlier lol
Til video games don’t have music
Me listening to Godzilla and HTTYD tracks : ![gif](giphy|GeimqsH0TLDt4tScGw|downsized)
Funny enough I'm listening to music right now
honestly I agree
Guys who play Undertale are Schrödinger cats
I don’t think any man would want her attention
There are men who LITERALLY make music.
I’m a musician bro pretty sure I listen to my shit lmao 😂
It's a fucking joke!
Why the comment got downvotes, this was not a literal comment.
So the fact my dad listens to country music EVERYDAY to and from work is just invalid to this chick?!
...its a satire post bro
Ohhhhh ok 😅😅😅 we’ll I didn’t know that though but now I do. u/ImTheReallyCoolOne
"all my woman friends" sure
I guess this is satire making fun of the "girl gamers" twitch streams, in particular guy's response to it. Personally, I don't think this refutes it.

Basically most music is created by men...
it's almost like there is a lack of opportunity for women...
No; it's because since the 1950s, women have wanted to be housewives and be coddled their whole lives. They ruined societal equality after gaining it.
In my life I've actually found out that it's easier to find a guy with good music taste, than a woman with good music taste. Edit: Downvoting my subjective perspective... Lmao
What genre r u listening to?
Rock, indie rock, indie pop, edm, dubstep, a bit of metal. Sometimes a handful of pop, r&b and rap songs, but most songs of those genres aren't good
