The fact you don't have any friends that would stand up for their wives like this is more an indictment of you and the company you keep
All of my friends would stand up for their wives. That's a wild assumption you're making
The fact you take things so personally speaks volumes about your life.
I'm not your dog, kick someone else dork
So why is it so unusual that somebody would stand up for theirs? Why is this a thing that doesn't happen?
You said it doesn't happen.
The whole sequence of events seems unlikely to have happened particularly if you've never been dragged to a company meeting by your spouse. Where people absolutely drink and forget not everyone wants to hear their political hot takes like ''there were only disagreements when they started letting women vote''. But my hard line stepping trigger personally is people smoking Marlboros. Like seriously. Smoke camels, or actually get 30 feet from the door. No one wants to smell that shit. Plus I have asthma.
Yeah on point
People are fucking obnoxious
Bruh, you're misunderstanding the point of my og comment. I wasn't saying someone wouldn't stand up for their partner. I was saying the entire argument sounds made up
Sorry you didn't understand and think I beat my wife when she speaks, lmao grow up and touch some grass
The argument is, some dude insults a guys wife and then he stands up for her. And you said it "never happened". How exactly are people going to interpret that?
Do you hear yourself??? Do you actually speak with real humans in real life? My dude or dudette just go away already
Yeah, usually people are accountable to their words, or speak and write with some intention.
So you are going to refuse to answer, how does what you said, make sense, in the context of the other thing you said.
If you don't want to admit that it doesn't, fine by me.
Just take the L my friend and learn from the lesson.
Nah.
The post is about someone being misogynistic to somebody. This happens all the time.
Misogynists running their mouths at work functions happens all the time.
I corrected him when he said this doesn't happen, and he immediately claimed I think he "beats his wife when she speaks". Him getting defensive about it shows his first comment is embarrassing, and he can't really argue it isn't without catastrophizing.
I don't really care about the down votes, I'm trying to get the guy to understand that misogyny happens, and claims that specific stories of it don't happen make him dishonest and an apologist.
Like all these stories are allegorical to real things that happen to real people, even if they aren't writing a biography online at the end of every day.
