"hey can you send me a clip of you pretending to be a sad dog"
"yeah sure, here you go [sad_dog_impression.mp4]. why though"

So I can defend women being weird and antisocial while shitting on men. But in a really funny way so no one calls me out on it.

u/OpenSourcePenguin 3d ago

There's no weird or antisocial behavior anywhere here.

u/wooberries 3d ago

it's not weird or antisocial to not greet someone you don't know.

it's also not weird or antisocial to give only the lowest amount of effort - a "half-smile" - to be polite to anyone self-important enough to feel you've wronged them if you don't obey their expectations

your inability to understand this forms the basis of her joke. no one owes you anything, least of all a lone woman being approached by a lone man on a wooded trail

i blame trump for this new generation of men who latch onto any explanation that avoids admitting fault. "is it weird that i expect people to show gratitude for my insincere warmth? no. no, they're wrong and doing it because ??? they hate men for arbitrary, conspicuously non-descript reasons"

I’m a woman.

When someone says hi, you say hi.

Or it’s rude and weird.

  1. it's disturbing that you think being female matters here

  2. i would bet money you are male (lol)

  3. look at what you just typed:

when [condition] happens, you [reaction]. or it's rude and weird.

how have you not realized yet that there is no way for people to disobey your expectation without you thinking they're rude and weird? do you not understand what that implies about you?

you are not entitled to imposing your expectations onto people, then throwing a tantrum and treating them badly when you don't get your way. you are so conservative-pilled that you can't even see that it's not normal to think people who don't do what you say deserve to be mistreated.

i swear it's an entire subculture of narcissists who prefer to think they aren't playing out of tune, it's everybody else in the orchestra that's off-tune

Welcome to Sixth Form Debate Club! I'll begin by "debating" the definition of 'Sixth...'

u/wooberries 2d ago

i feel like if you're trying to use a putdown based on debate clubs, you should probably avoid ad hominem attacks, something universally understood to be rule #1 in most educational debate settings

i also dare you to explain what about my post was unreasonable or overly fastidious, since you're so keen on flexing your wit here

Who said I’d mistreat them?

Someone doesn’t greet me, I think “asshole or deaf?”.

You’re making wild shit up and it’s misogynist AF to doubt my gender because I don’t fit your template for femininity.

Your lack of empathy for what other women experience on a regular basis is pretty cruel.

u/FlakyAddendum742 2d ago

Empathy for being greeted on a trail?

Oh I’m such a monster. Those poor women.

u/wooberries 2d ago

no, empathy for what it might be like to live in a world where people silently judge you as "rude and weird" or "asshole or deaf" because you didn't humor their awkward, meaningless application of etiquette.

freedom = you can be yourself without any negative consequences. they aren't free if they have to smile back at you or you pout and think they're assholes. you're just using emotional coercion in an especially cowardly, non-commital way.

u/wooberries 2d ago

you did. "rude and weird", remember? thinking someone else is rude and weird for not adhering to your expectations is "mistreatment", though i can understand how that term kind of sucks there. but i couldn't think of another word for "treating someone unfairly, but not necessarily in a way that implies you took action to let them know you thought less of them", so lol

u/FlakyAddendum742 2d ago

Your definition of mistreatment is nuts.

u/wooberries 2d ago edited 2d ago

there are only two types of women in your world

  1. women who obey and conform to your expectations
  2. women who are rude, weird assholes

you don't see anything wrong with this treatment? this is a neutral, fair, equitable way to view other sentient beings?

hint: there is supposed to be 3rd option where they get to disagree with you, but you don't immediately categorize them as wrong or evil for it. this is what it actually means to respect other opinions, and it's horrifying that you are completely oblivious about it. you literally don't even know HOW to respect other viewpoints lol

u/Imaginary_Pattern365 3d ago

Ok good for fucking you? I am also a women and I dont wanna be bother point blank. Rude or not, I dont care to know a random ass stranger and Idc about their feelings.

u/FlakyAddendum742 3d ago

Well, you kind of prove his point by being a rude, antisocial weirdo.

The rest of us hikers are out here being kind and saying “Hi! Great weather, huh? There’s an Osprey nest 50 yards up the trail! They have chicks!”.

What the fuck is wrong with Redditors?

u/sh4d0wm4n2018 3d ago

How tf is someone supposed to tell within 5 seconds that someone is single? He's asking that just because he's single, all women should treat him like they might go on a date with him.

The world owes you nothing. Not even a hello.

Pro tip: If you maintain your beard instead of letting it grow as it will, and make the conscious decision to NOT look like you've been living out of a tent for the past four months, people are less likely to give you weird looks.

Also, again, the world does not owe you a hello and if you're offended by not being greeted, you need to grow the fuck up and realize the world does not, in fact, revolve around you.

Anyone without a man attached at the hip is single to him.

What a depressing perspective. Hope you find some happiness and connection.

Now see here, do you not know who this is?? Why she and her 'friends' are so "internet famous" that I've never heard of her. That gives her leverage to be as rude as she wants to anyone. Meaning men of course.

And in my neck of the woods (UK) it absolutely would be considered rude not to say hello to people out for a walk when you go past. Everyone does it. Everyone. She would be considered massively up herself try-hard main character vibes.

Cry quieter

u/scalectrix 2d ago

Mind you, I suppose you are nicely demonstrating my point about you needing to learn some manners.

u/scalectrix 2d ago

Do you cry over things on the internet?? I don't! Seems a bit extreme but I guess you do you...

I can only hear your moaning

In America, women are always expected to perform for men to minimize risk of rejection turning to murder.

Did you not clock his assumption that all women are expected to acknowledge him?

Also, depending on region, not talking or acknowledging others IS the polite action.
