Worshipping a squirrel =/= making it clear you have very little regard for women and espousing those views in a public and very visible way.

This needs approximately 10000 more stars. It’s so insistently, gratingly tone-deaf to repeatedly say “do it the easy way, and if you don’t do it the easy way it’s because you’re stupid” in the face of differences in preference, family demands, religion, cultural expectations, etc etc et fucking cetra.
