People still using sexist meme templates -_-
Genuinely curious, what makes this template sexist to you?
It has women in it.
I took no offense but I can see the potential trigger.
They are likely talking about how Data and Worf’s exchange is not respected by men only and while this meme does not explicitly say this one could infer therefore that women can’t or don’t respect said exchange for no other reason other then w o m e n
given this, it stands to reason that there are better formats to tell this joke without wading into an inferable grey area.
I agree that this template does trend in that direction, (commonly girls illogical or other negative light vs cool boys being dudes) but look at the meme without that context and you’ll see there’s nothing negative towards the female side aside from the fact that worf and data’s exchange is not only respected by men (which is a bit of an ick tho I’ll give you that, I’m no fan of this template either)
