Comment on My glasses

Great response, given that the alternative was to double down and take the lifelong commitment to the path of misogyny

What? I think you missed what he is saying like the reply to him. He was talking about her glasses not her looks. If he doubled down it would have just been him explaining what he meant and that would be that.

It is fair to be confused and not know that he’s really talking about the prescription if you don’t know what that is and you don’t know Dr. Glaucomflecken is an actual ophthalmologist from his comedy Youtube shorts.

I’m assuming you are talking about Ethan but I’m not sure how misogyny or shitting on someone talking about glasses are the only 2 options?

Oh dear I should really be more careful with irony in written text or else feel the wrath of the mob! 😅 I meant that calling her a -1 can be interpreted as pretty offensive and Ethan pointed that out. Now the other guy saw the issue and corrected his comment with a follow up. I just meant that he did that in a really good way. He could have also chosen to never admit a mistake and just become a misogynist now.

-1 was obviously about her glasses. The screenshot is basically going “look at this idiot who didn’t realize that” nobody did anything misogynistic in the screenshot and being heavyhanded in labels like that make it easier for actual examples of misogyny to be dismissed.

i think he is referring to the strength of her prescription. a -1 or -1.5 diopter prescription is mild - i.e. her glasses aren’t strong enough for the person she offered them to. misogyny was not intended
