Triggered by non-gender specific tweet about casual sex in your 20s

sleeping around in your 20's has consequences later on in life, don't let society fool you.

This image is a screenshot of two consecutive public tweets from the same Twitter user @heysegs. The first original tweet, posted at 11:24 PM on 27 December 2019 via Twitter for iPhone, reads: 'sleeping around in your 20's has consequences later on in life, don't let society fool you.' It received 348 retweets and 1,124 likes. The second follow-up tweet from the same user, posted 17 hours later, reads: 'I wanna know how women got triggered by this tweet when this wasn't gender specific. I am confusion.' This follow-up received 8 comments, 14 retweets, and 112 likes. The comedic core of the meme comes from highlighting the implicit gendered assumption readers made: the original statement was not targeted at any specific gender, but many women interpreted it as a criticism aimed at them, leading to offended reactions. The user expresses confusion at this unintended targeted interpretation of their general statement.
