Masculinity is so fragile that people think it's more important to teach women to reject a man politely

than it is to teach men to accept rejection peacefully.

A shameful state of affairs. Anyone who gets upset by this is on the wrong side.
Period.

A polite refusal is one thing. A snotty put down invites hostility.
@redredred

invites hostility.

Aaaand there's our first red flag of the thread.

Wrong attitude.
Why?
Because what is considered "snotty" or disrespectful is subjective and subject to the man's ego.
Men need to learn that "no" is a perfectly acceptable answer and it doesn't have to be delivered in a way that preserves their fragile ego,

Edit: Sorry, not first red flag. I see someone else someone else beat you to it.

@Pikachu in what context is a put down not offensive?
@redredred

In what context is being offended a defense for violence or intimidation toward a romantic interest?
redredred · M
Hostility is an emotion, not necessarily an action. It need not be acted upon. I never advocated violence or intimidation, I simply questioned the need for a put down. Is English not your first language?@Pikachu
@redredred

No one argued the need for a put down. I'm arguing the need to teach men to accept rejection peacefully whether or not their wittle feewings are hurt in the process.

Were you able to keep up this time?😏

And I tried to educate you that a polite refusal might work better than a put down. We’re you paying attention?@Pikachu
@redredred

lol so no, you didn't keep up.
Try again. Read slowly. Sound the words out if you have to👍
