"Where did you learn to keep to yourself and assume that you're a nuisance to everyone and nobody wants you around?" – "I grew up with several older sisters."
I guess it's fun to flip it around like that, but as a kid who fought his siblings, you learn to go real easy on only children trying to prove themselves. I'm not sure what to make of the "chess/crying/dress=can't defend themselves" idea either.
Strong women capable of defending against oppressors gives me hope. It's disappointing that your mindset leads you to the worst interpretation of this exchange.
How are you interpreting this? It clearly says that the scenario is that a woman is beating up people for her brothers, and then the response says the post gives them hope for humanity.
Yeah because assholes apparently need a beating. Internet made to many people think they can be assholes and hatefull against others without catching a fist.
I actively try to avoid the "widowed/divorced single mom returns to her home town and realizes that something is wrong..." tropes. I'm tired of those plots.
Well, Daenerys becoming a crazy genocidal murderer was not expected by most and definitely not enjoyed. Same with so many characters in the last season of GoT who didn’t have a satisfying conclusion to their arcs.
"This fiction is fiction" is typically the least fascinating observation that can be made about any piece of fiction so people have learnt to not bother so they can focus on the more interesting parts of the presented scenario.

I was the yongest and only boy, with 4 older sisters. Survival was key.

It doesn't actually say the person is female. Or am I missing something?
keyblader1985
It doesn't, but it's a question commonly asked to women in fiction.

Eh, I can see it being played out either way. Nothing says it has to be only one way.

"Where did you learn to cut up cakes into exactly equal portions like that?" "I grew up with three brothers."
MechanicalRomance
Honestly , 2 or 4 brothers would be much more impressive.

It takes a moment to realize what you meant by that. Brilliant.

Seven slices for seven brothers!

Again! Trivial!
JPRiddles
Yeah, halving stuff is pretty much foolproof

Women beating up people is what gives you "hope for humanity"?

Where does it say they are female?
MithridateEupator
...the post? It says, whenever there is a FEMALE character who fights....
Wolfshead009
The COMMENT says female. The original post does NOT.
MithridateEupator
They're both in the post genius. The post is a picture of 2 comments.

You failed at reading comprehension, didn't you. You are literally too stupid to deal with. Go crawl back under your rock.

You think the bright future of humanity is people beating the shit out of other people more often? That's fucked up.
Seras91
Ah you want to say that you can't read this well and we shouldn't use such complicated sentences, no worries you will learn over time

Even politics aside every good writer loves subverting overused tropes. Different = Interesting = Good.

I mean, not always. Sporks are different and can be good. Spife, not so much

What fascinates me is how certain people respond to such fictions as if they are real
