    Actually it is a regular thing among the asshole “manosphere” crowd (i.e. the pathetic fucking losersphere).

      I can see this as a twitter exchange for sure but irl it seems very shower thoughtesque. It could be that a very online person framed it as an irl thing and that what’s jarring.

      Then again I am not a woman and cannot speak to that experience.

        Why is a typically online interaction being shown as if in person so jarring? If anything, the interaction happening online where they would be unlikely to date anyways makes it even weirder when someone says it.

          That is true it is weird af online too. Such a weird thing the way online and in person discourse is so divergent.

        I brought up an example of a specific sexist and controlling behavior I observed (guys holding their wives or girlfriends by the neck while walking across the street, like they were steering a chicken) in a meetup group and all the men around me said they had never seen it. The two women said they both had experienced it.

        Repeat this a thousand and one times with other behavior I and presumably you, as men, will never have to experience but are just as real.
