Empowerment is for women only. Noted.
How are you empowered by "feeling like a man"? What does that even mean?
Why would it matter what it means? There is someone asking for validation and is ridiculed for it.
Why are strangers under any obligation to validate each other?
Where do you get the obligation part?
What would you consider a proper response to this?
To what exactly?
Empowerment is when people make themselves subservient around you? If you need everyone around you do defer to your ego that's not empowerment.
Is respecting someone as a human really being subservient? Or is someone strutting around demanding respect for who one is, really just demanding everyone else to be subservient?
The source of women's empowerment isn't men pretending that women are strong. It's women who changed.
