MODERATORS
This is a pattern that if applied broadly feels guaranteed to spiral into the opposite of the desired outcome.
Be rude as a rule to men
Men interpret what was once 'rude' as normal behavior
Stepping positively outside the new normal gets interpreted as possible sexual interest
Now you are required to be even ruder baseline to avoid misinterpretation, and men just get treated worse socially.
It's not about being rude it's about not being nice, specially in professional settings. It's sad but it's true. But also, like everything else, there are exceptions but we can never know
The first words are 'I'm always a little mean' so I think rude counts. I understand the motivation for doing this, but this is a strategy that the more it is applied the less it works. The core issue is men taking small deviations from their expected social treatment as flirting, and I think that moving the expectation lower by being meaner means that it will take less 'nice' to accidentally communicate interest, thereby making it worse in the end.
I get it. I can only speak from myself and I can never be rude or mean but I am serious and professional in my workplace because I have had bad experiences before
