    In other words, “be a dick to somebody and watch them get angry.” Not sure why that’s gendered.

    Also, most of this is promoting toxic masculinity, so if it’s supposed to have a quasi-feminist undertone, it’s not doing it right.

            Really? You don’t think so. Okay, let’s try an experiment

            (Disclaimer: the following statements do not reflect the views or opinions of the author)

            how to rage bait a woman

            • “what would you make for dinner if you could cook?”

            • “whatever makes you feel independent and empowered!”

            • “huh”…“huh”…“huh”…

            • repeat what they say with a nerdy voice

            • “Relax, it’s not that deep.”

            • “You wouldn’t get it.”

            • “That’s such a fat chick thing to say.”

            • “ok buddy”

            • “it’s probably hard always being wrong”

            • “your time of the month huh?”

            • “whatever helps you sleep at night”

            • “Do things normally work out for you when you do that?”

            • “You sound emotional right now.”

            • “Act your weight”

            • “Did you think abt changing your hair?”

            There. Is the blatant sexism obvious enough yet? Or is that only acceptable when it’s directed at men?

            Have you ever noticed that people who are “always wrong” are seldom bothered by that fact?

          Woop, someone who isn’t okay with a double-standard! I guess a “RealMan™” would take it on the chin and not be offended, right? Don’t worry, just be okay with being walked on like a fucking doormat, and if you get upset about it we’ll just use that as ammunition to demean you even more! And if we push you past your psychological breaking point then we’ll all act shocked and call you aggressive and wonder “How could this happen?”

          Blame the individual for the inevitable consequences of a societal outlook. And if it starts happening with millions of individuals then we’ll just blame them all as individuals because they must be fundamentally and inherently flawed, and not just psychologically damaged by constant bullying and ostracization.

          Oh, but it’s not victim blaming when the victim is a man, right? “If you got bullied, what did you do to deserve it?” “Maybe if you dressed like a normal person people wouldn’t pick on you so much.” “People can sense a pushover, just have confidence and you’ll get more respect.”

          Honestly, go fuck yourself you privileged little shit.
