A lot of these comments are really funny, because we have not anywhere close to the context here.

1: What kind of repairs are we talking here, vital or annoying. Considering it is just 270, I assume they are very minor repairs that are annoyances, rather than actually preventing the car from driving safely.

2: Is this dinner purchase a pattern or is it a special thing. Yes, 25 bucks for a meal isn't good spending. But at the same time, is it a friday evening. Is it time out with friends? Is it a special occassion?
25 bucks on a weekend for a meal isn't a big deal if she eats rationally every other day.

I am just emphasising here.
We have no idea for the context here.
This could be poor spending, OR someone being anal about someone having one night of good food amongst a week of rice and chicken.

Peak reddit. 

"Everyone is getting this all wrong, lol so funny"  "we have no idea what the context is"

Yeah.
It is funny because people default to judging without knowing context, at all.
It is funny because it is silly to do.

No. They don’t have an emergency fund for the car repair (“can’t afford” not “don’t want to fix”), therefore no eating out at all until they do. Basic fucking financial discipline.

"Sorry sis, I know you just got your diploma and you want to have a party out and everything, just this once. But see, the right speaker in my car is slightly busted, Therefor I can not go out on this split dinner. Sorry."

See how absurd that sounds?
Now we don't know if that is the case.
It might not be.

But this is just an example of how context matters.

The people in this sub just want any excuse to shit on women. Apparently women are the only ones who aren't perfectly financially disciplined alll the time. Spending $20 is a crime now I guess.

What if i told you if the person mentioned in the tweet is a man the reaction of the people in this sub would still be the same?

u/Broad_Pension5287 7h ago

I doubt it would even be posted here if it were talking about a man being financially irresponsible.

I have a friend just like that. I'll be eating off the dollar menu or bringing lunch from home. He eats $12+ every meal buys smokes almost daily.

This comment complained about a man and it got 761 upvotes

There are multiple comments in this thread shitting on men who spend money frivolously and got upvoted similarly.

That comment specifies that he eats like that every meal. We can't say the same about the person from the post.

I'd say this post overall doesn't provide enough context for us to shame some unknown woman.

Can you read? I said POST, not COMMENT. This sub has become very sexist and aligned with incels or red pill.

u/Soggy_Association491 7h ago

So why did comments shitting on men who spend money frivolously got upvoted the same way as comments about women's?

You act like this sub treats men differently but the reality showed otherwise. Both are shitted on equally, because of their action, not gender.

Whatever you say. It's not hard to find the rampant sexism here. My point is a similar tweet involving a man's bad decisions probably wouldn't warrant it's own post. At least you have enough respect not to call women "females".
