      Even though it's about as bourgeois as going out to brunch is, the discourse about the "grillpilled" joke is he's talking about *normal people*, "normies", whatever you think "normal" means

      I mean Tina Fey's joke about "sheetcaking" is the exact same fucking thing - except that a buying sheet cake is much cheaper than having a grill and a place to use it - but people reacted very differently to that

      Okay, it looks like we are at odds on this issue Kinda apprehensive about trying to cross brains with you but fuck it, this is what I believe, so I'll give it a shot What are you asserting exactly?

      I'm arguing that the reason the brunch thing took off as a meme is obviously due to cultural factors involving gender

      I guess I don't agree because I had already seen analogous jokes about brunch made for several years prior to this year's brunch meme, in contexts where it would have been thoroughly nonsensical for them to be based on a common gender-based strand of bigotry

      Replying to @eigenvectrix @arthur_affect and

      I regard 'brunch' jokes much the same way I regard 'wine mom' jokes — as fundamentally jokes that *involve* gender, that *are inseparable from* gender (there's no "wine dad" joke), but are *about* class, cultural and religious background, and privilege

      But why? What is it about wine and brunch, precisely, that makes them about class, background, and privilege? What is it that constructs this association?

      Regarding wine: 1) decent wine costs more than decent beer 2) getting cheap wine is more stigmatised than getting cheap beer 3) wine is in larger units and spoils faster 4) wine has a culture of pretentious snobbery surrounding it due to, e.g., wine-tasting

      Brunch, meanwhile: 1) is a trendy portmanteau word 2) in my experience, usually happens in a nice, upscale, gentrifying restaurant 3) happens between people of a middle-class cultural background 4) happens at a time in the day when people with a 9-5 are working

      I'm a working-class person in a middle-class profession (music) — for me, brunches have always been occasions during which I have felt anxious and ill-at-ease

          1) I'm explaining it to the person I'm replying to 2) I understand that I am willing to change my *behaviour* to avoid misogynistic splash damage I just don't agree with the contention that the meme is fundamentally or primarily based on misogyny or homophobia

          I think you'll find that it's a better theory than a lot of others. If you create a list of all the things we associate with high class, and then a list of those things we don't, it's hard to figure out a distinction that doesn't fall along these lines.
