Speaking as a parent, please try to do something about this. Please.
That guy... I can't even engage emotionally. If I go down that road, there's no end to it. There's no way to hate him enough. I'm just going to say that God or evolution or whatever made a mistake with this man. He's an error that needs to be deleted. The universe goofed. No need to drag it out or beat him up or set…
That's a perfectly fair and reasonable point of view, and I agree. (I would even go further, and say you probably shouldn't expect unearned deference or a disproportionate share of someone's attention in *any* context, Jezebel forum or not. But I get what you meant.)
Well, I'm a bit thrown that you think I'm purely after an emotional outlet absent any rational discussion, but I guess my comment did read that way. I certainly don't think of Jezebel as my safe space. Heck, I've already been called a cunt on this thread.
"Anyway, normal male behavior is self-evident, it's the activities that most men share."
Nah, man. I'm going with the last word game still. But if you want to go ahead and lay out what constitutes "normal male behavior," that could be a fun activity for everyone.
I missed that context.
It's "tack," not "tact." It comes from sailing, where you are on a tack towards a particular point.
Even from a sworn enemy, I appreciate a stupendously lame pun. Mild appreciation granted.
Hey, I just asked a Dominican about your comment. No, really. I said, "Hey honey, read this...."
Yeah, I know you, buddy. I've seen you around here. You wouldn't know an honest, rational discussion if one bit you in the face.
Shit! The point of feminism was to be more appealing to men? I've been doing it all wrong!
I know, right! Dominicans! Hahaha! They are so loud and obnoxious! It's funny, because it's true! Oh, panecito, you have so much good material! Your stuff about feminists is hilarious, but this new stuff is comedy gold. You got any good jokes about Puerto Ricans? Because I'm dying to hear them! Seriously! Send me your…
So.... My comment causes you so much butthurt that you - and indeed, all thinking men! - can only react by rejecting feminism forever. You must flee into the woods, like a precious, fragile unicorn, startled away by human unkindness, never to return.....
Don't apologize for those guys. Go on being an awesome, inclusive geek guy, and smack-down that behavior when you see it. I'm older and meaner now, but when I was a shy and sheltered 17-year-old who loved all things nerdy and was reaching out for fellow geeks, "I'm going to find you and rape you because you prefer…
Dude! Look at all the respect you're getting! Way to show us how it works.
You know, you've got a good point. I'm not wedded to this whole idea that everyone needs to realize privilege by having a moment where they are called out on their behavior and made very uncomfortable. It can be a kind of lefty trope that limits the range of people who hear your message. Still, though, I think it's a…
Not 100% sure I get your response, but I see you're from Monroe, MI. Hi! We're probably related! (Why? Because everybody in that fucking town is related to each other.)
Well, maybe a first step for those men might be NOT expecting an entire community of feminists to self-censor, or soft-peddle their opinions, or to drop everything to nurture and coddle and hand-hold guys through their discomfort with scary new perspectives...
