Comment on My glasses

  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 what Jeff is pointing out is that it isn’t uncommon for someone to be misinterpreted as a misogynist and, when called out, decide to lean into the misogyny rather than away, even if it wasn’t their original intention. In this instance, it’s a miscommunication that the OP handled in a way that made me laugh out loud, but I think Jeff is right, that there are also people who, in the same situation would have responded something to the effect of “I was talking about her vision. Maybe if you women weren’t all so [insert twitter-typical misogyny here]”, etc etc. Obviously that isn’t what happened here, but it has been known to.

    I’ve never seen a double whoosh before. That’s one thing to not get the joke, it’s another thing to not get the joke after the joke has been explained to you.
