Should a woman "just tell everyone she doesn't like it" if random people start grabbing her?
First of all, unless this dude works at a strip club, I very highly doubt random coworkers are coming up and grabbing his biceps.
I would buy this story more if it was a single female who continued to do this, but this just doesn’t add up.
Secondly, if a woman’s biceps were being grabbed by a man, I’d have no idea what the fuck was going on.
This story is fake as shit and ya’ll are treating it like it’s a case study.
No, we just treat it at face value, knowing little of the real situation.
And reality is, men ARE abused and harrassed by women, and it's much harder for them to speak out about it. Which makes it even more important not to distrust these stories straight from the start - they get their dose of distrust and victimblaming everywhere else.
Okay buddy. Time to go have your afternoon tea and have a nap.
That's not an actual reply to the point they made. I know it feels good to call someone a child but it's more effective to actually address the discussion.
Is this his mom now replying to me?
I speak to people on the level they've shown they should be spoken to, if that's kindergarten so be it.
I’m glad you’re able to communicate with your peers
It's nice, you should try it.
I don’t know any kindergarteners
No you misunderstand but that's ok.
I was saying you have to speak to people on their level. Sometimes you need to say things in a different way, you might have to rephrase it for a different audience or even "dumb it down" for some of the simpler people on the internet.
Like I'm doing now.
Didn’t realize I was speaking to a god
