I can't believe that in the year of our lord twenty-fifteen people still think "Sedin Sisters" is clever or funny.

Great job everyone, fighting the good fight to keep casual sexism/unfunny jokes alive.

The answer isn't important whether it's answered by a man or woman, I have zero doubt the you a dense and not able to see the trap. My post was only acknowledging a brilliance of the post and not actually fishing for an answer
You must be pretty dense if you don't realize the ramification of the comment is in the intent. If I call my wife manly because she did something out of character, it would be light-hearted and flirtatious. If you posted a picture of a female weightlifter and said "UGH SO MANLY!" you are a) valuing a woman based on appearance, b) using "manly" in a negative connotation to imply that she is less of a woman, like it's a thing that exists.

Binary gender roles aren't just going away, they never existed in the first place. Like the political spectrum, gender doesn't exist on a flat line, but stupid people often think it does.
