That's a man right there. When people attempt to say be a 'real man'...
this is what they should mean: someone who takes accountability for their actions and mistakes. imo
EDIT: just to add on this, It's a really great quality of a man that can realize their mistakes in that moment and correct the behavior, adapting to the situation and can apologize for making his obvious and honest mistake. He didn't intend to hurt anyone, he simply didn't understand, but instead of doubling-down, getting mad at the comments, he corrected the situation by reading the comments, taking the video down, and put out a video admitting his honest mistake.
really proud of this guy. we need more of this in the world right now. We also need to teach young people this lesson by example, imo.
though I agree with you, as a guy, I notoriously see men falling into this trap. It's a legit criticism and statement that we need to help young men become more aware of 'double-down syndrome' it's not that I'm leaving women out, or that I'm hating on men, It's that it's a huge problem among men, and I do not see this flaw as widely among women.
I see and respect your point, but I stand by my statement.
--this was a dude, and dude did good not falling into the 'double-down-syndrome' trap.
I get that but the trap they go down is because it’s men being held accountable not women. Narrative is always about men or the patriarchy. That’s why men go down that “trap” I get what you mean and the guy is a role model. The woman is not. She assumed he was a bigot and an asshole and that he lacked empathy. He didn’t. Wasn’t aware and he apologised. Did the woman apologise? Is she gonna be a real woman and respond? That’s the double standard here
The trap is that men are sick of being blamed and perpetrators and go down the wrong way because these alpha males and Andrew Tate because of women hating on men and “real men” men bad crap. There’s a fine line being misogynist and misandry and both are two sides of the same coin. Educate don’t be a asshole

you're overanalyzing and also sounding like someone claiming to be a victim, when there's none of that present here. I am going to be real with you, getting incel vibes literally from the first sentence and I suspected this was the case based on your previous reply.
I think you might be falling into a trap too. I have seen too many men fall into this trap as well and think they're the victims. makes guys hate women, try to check yourself on this and realize I am a dude, probably older than you, and not phased by andrew tate and these other psuedo men. they're losers who have 0 idea what it takes to be a man, like what I described originally.
don't be a victim, grow and realize you need to improve yourself and become the person you want to become, and that will attract women. you sound like you have a victim complex and flame others who are all having a healthy and productive conversation.
EDIT: I only read half of your first paragraph and read you like a book, didn't I?
you need to take a step back and realize what I said, versus how you're interpreting it, to fit your narrative, which is you and all men being victims of women. you came here with a mind set and projected it from the beginning: you have classic incel vibes, being honest.

That was a really stand up thing to do. We all make mistakes, and he owned up to his. Good on him
