“Full tilt bonkers” apparently isn’t misogynistic at all. You heard it here first, folks!

“The second part of my comment addressed the other issue of teaching young boys how to respect girls and women as they grow up.” Well, the argument that was made was that *trivial things like serving women first accomplish that,*…

Wait, are you failing to understand that you’re addressing a *different* woman than the one you *originally* told she was “arguing for arguing’s sake”? That would make this whole exchange much less baffling. 

Are you missing an image here? I think you duplicated one by mistake...

I wasn’t even addressing your first comment, because it wasn’t even really worth dissecting how self-undermining it was. But if you insist. “We already don’t do this in casual dining anyway, and we get by fine. Here’s why it’s important, though, because I just feel like it should be and have never examined that.”

Actually listening when a woman is talking will help you figure out her point of view, which is awfully helpful in helping her actually feel respected (which is more significant than how you feel she should feel because that’s his respect works).

Men manage to open doors for women, then scream at them for not accepting the gesture “correctly.” Men manage to open doors for women, then pay their female employees less. Men manage to open doors for women, then tell rape jokes. Men manage to open doors for women, then go home and beat their wives. Men manage to…

And I’m telling you respect and manners really don’t have anything to do with who gets their food first. You’re demonstrating it right now.

“Um, it seems you’re arguing for arguing’s sake. Not because you actually have anything relevant to add here. ‘Bye, Felicia.” You apparently thought that was a “respectful” way to talk to someone, then couldn’t figure out why I’d object because it wasn’t directed at me.

Or could walk *around* the puddle, and then no one's clothes have to get muddy. :O

Right? So RESPECTFUL!

Apparently this is respectful? Please note the way women are being talked to in this conversation, and compare it to the supposed notion of “respect.” What I’m getting here is that y’all will “respect” us as soon as we show the slightest disagreement, and then it’s all out the window.

You’re telling a woman how to respect her. I don’t think you understand respect very well.

That’s...a lot of reaction to very little.

Getting my food one millisecond earlier than someone else actually has nothing to do with how much respect I’m receiving, fun fact. Please teach your sons to respect women in ways that actually matter.

Oh, honey.

Maybe...*just maybe*...we could not respond to racism with ableism *this once.* Thanks.

You don’t even have your stereotypes right. Not only a racist, but a confused one.

Nah, parents of “special needs” kids (especially the ones who use that cutesy euphemism) cosign this shit all the time. They think that's the best their kids will get (or possibly deserve).

Maybe, just maybe, this isn't about some mistaken idea that he'll win but his insistence on taking up space, the attitude with which he's Twitter-lecturing her (while not having the time to pick up a phone to formally concede) and his failure to offer any meaningful support while insisting SHE'S the one who's failing…

He could literally just change his residency to a place his family already lives. It’s not that complicated.
