I'm talking about the reaction. Why have we trained men to be such snowflakes that they have to call the police over some woman knocking off their hat?

Probably not. I'm discussing how we have trained men to be such snowflakes.

Man can't be expected to just bottle injustices inside, and since we can't react violently either, it's best to just the call the cops. Shame on you for perpetuating toxic masculinity.
Such a terrible injustice. Snowflake.

I'm not interested in perpetuating this toxic masculinity. Those days are long gone. The stoic man. The woman confined in the kitchen making her man sandwiches. We live in the 21st century. I'd argue it's weak to just ignore injustices to you just because you're afraid of being seen as weak or a snowflake.

MAGA types should eat only at steak houses and stuff. Ethic food is bad for them because it tends to be cooked and sometimes served and cleaned up by....immigrants.

Carrie Nation destroyed entire bars. She got away with it in many instances also. Men can't even handle a woman knocking off his hat today?



And how would a man have handled that 50 years ago? Would he have called the cops or ignored her?

Snowflake.
Let's recap:

1. A woman's feelings were hurt by a baseball cap.
2. She acted on her feelings and began touching the stranger wearing the hat.
3. The man allowed her to do it rather than use physical force against her. He called the cops instead to get her under control.

Er, who was the thin-skinned "snowflake?"

Women like this one confirm the very stereotypes they typically howl about: emotionally-led, hysterical individuals who can't handle situations on their own, who then expect to be treated with kid gloves when they misbehave. This whole thing with women behaving like this woman and the Dirty Women's Marches...the very last thing men think and most normal women think is that these are "strong" or "tough" women when they behave like this. Crude, vulgar, over-aggressive, out-of-control women like this one trigger people of both sexes to recoil. Far from coming off as strong, they look especially weak. They behave like many teenage boys and young men behave who don't yet understand what it is to be a man. So they act really aggressive and swear a lot and talk about how tough they are. They look pathetic, as this woman does as those clownish women at the marches look when they do some of the same things. Contrary to what many people on one side of the spectrum think, the vast majority of men love and respect women because of the wives, sisters, mothers in our lives and they don't act like these women.

Yes, I'd call the police on her too. And you can go ahead and call me a snowflake, and I will go ahead and laugh in your face. You think I value your opinion?

Why do you think women are entitled to go around demanding men comply with their every whim, and be subject to abuse when they don't? Men have the same rights as women to go into restaurants and enjoy a meal in peace.

It's all on a scale and if people can act out in public it just allows them to think they can do it again and then step it up a notch.

Heck, yesterday I was in lowes and grabbed an empty lumber cart in the center of the lumber isle (Lowe regulars know that they often keep them there lined up empty).....some young woman comes after me like I'm hijacking her car or something. REAL attitude which even continued after I explained that Lowes employees line them up RIGHT THERE.

I went to the next aisle and there were 4 lined up and got one!

Point is, many people must not have been taught basic civil behavior. Why the heck would this young (and quite hot) woman think I was intentionally ripping her off? After that I saw her with her contractor and/or BF and she was telling him the story. Then they were in line after me.....I 1/2 expected them to come accost me in the parking lot when we were both outside together.

Over an empty cart...more of which were lined up a few feet away!

Some people have been raised as the wrong kind of princesses....(in this case, for sure).

I wouldn't disagree. Do we all now agree?
