Comment on I realized why I like friendships with lesbians
Perfide@reddthat.com 1 year agoI’m a straight man and I’d also be deeply uncomfortable if a friend of mine just randomly asked me if a random woman passing by is hot. It’s a weird thing to randomly ask.
I’d be even more uncomfortable with ANYONE(including women) saying something as generalized as “women are crazy”. Screw the “different tone” BS, there is NO tone you can say that in with a straight face where it’s not at least a little misogynistic, and a LOT of tones you can say it in where it is SUPER misogynistic.

You’re deeply uncomfortable with other men being open about attraction banter with you? To each their own, but it’s not necessarily a virtue.
The rest is technically fine, but weird that no-one was talking about it. Very soapbox-y. On a separate point, I never see women being this careful when talking about men anywhere. Doesn’t make misogyny ok, but generalizations are one of those highly contextual topics where black and white assumptions about anyone don’t seem to quite work out all of the time.
