That's patriarchy baby. Same genesis as "boys will be boys" or basically that males can't control themselves, so society needs adapt to their fickle moods
Isn't that also the basis of the gay panic defense, that a man loses control of his body in response to being "tricked" into the gay or whatever shit they say.
That's the gay panic defense. We have to specify because the police also commonly use a panic defense. Like when they shoot into a crowd and claim someone charged them. (Yes they did that, the NYPD, no they haven't released body cam footage yet, no nobody else is supporting their story)
That's true, damn, there really shouldn't be any panic defense at all. Someone who "loses control of their body" still committed a crime, and while in certain cases recognition and rehabilitation can help, them "losing control" or "panicking" is not an excuse for something they still did. If being drunk isn't an excuse panic shouldn't be one either.
Same basic logic as the cases where someone ties their victim to a bed, fetches some accelerant, douses them and sets them on fire in self defense.
Perhaps I should play the part assigned to me.
Noooo don't do that, you're so pretty lol
I what? Who are you?
I am but a man.
How do you know I'm pretty?
Call it a hunch
If you feel pretty and you act pretty then you are pretty
I don't really know what pretty feels like. Closest allegory I've got is "got to be good looking cuz you're so hard to please!" And I am certainly hard to please.
Well that's not nothing
