    I hate this rhetoric. It implies that this a refular occurence. It is just a man hating comment. If this is happening to you frequently, maybe you are the problem. I am tired of being assumed an asshole just because I am a man. It is sexist. Plain and simple.

      For many women, it is a regular occurance. Perhaps if you are frequently being assumed an asshole, maybe you are the problem?

        That’s the thing though, I am not the problem, it’s some other asshole that can’t take rejection. He is the problem. Two different people.

          The idiotic implication that the behavior of other human beings is your responsibility because they’re the same sex as you is frustratingly common.

          The irony is that the people who say stuff like that magically realize how invalid the logic is when it comes to any other demographic–you’d never catch them telling black people that black crime is exclusively their responsibility, for example.

        This is a phenomenally stupid sentence, lmao. Maybe he’s the problem if people frequently ASSUME something about him? If they ASSUME?

        Wow.

            Would you also tell a black guy “Perhaps if you are frequently being assumed a criminal, maybe you are the problem?”

            Somehow, I have a feeling you wouldn’t. But it’s the exact same ‘logic’.

      It is a regular occurrence. Ask your female friends about it.

      You’re tired? They’re exhausted. Toxic behavior from aggressive men caused this collective fatigue.

      Unless you behave like the man in the comic, this isn’t about you.

      Maybe instead of pretending this super common thing doesn’t happen, you could encourage other men like I am doing right now.

        This is the exact same logic used by white supremacists to rationalize criticizing black people as a group.

        Unless you behave like the man in the comic, this isn’t about you.

        ‘If you’re a black guy who ISN’T like the stupid violent gangster stereotype I just depicted, this isn’t about you. How dare you be offended at my depiction!’

          Totally the same thing /s

          Come on dude seriously? You think criticizing commonplace sexism and harassment in our culture is the same as white supremacists? You need to listen to some women more often.

            I think, scratch that, know, that you are very poor at understanding simple analogies and basic logic.

            You’d be the person who, if someone talked about how murder and shoplifting are both crimes/illegal, would say “Come on dude seriously? You think shoplifting is just as bad as murder?”

            Acute case of the smooth cerebrum.
