Classic conservative move, they immediately understand the problem when it applies to them but cannot or will not generalise to others
That's more of an idiot move.
Who's got the time to tell the difference?
Sure- conservatives aren't all idiots. Some are assholes
The Venn diagram between those two things is basically a circle at this point.
I don't really agree. The idiot circle nicely encompasses the conservative circle, but there are a lot of idiots that aren't conservatives as well!
That's what they said
Can you even imagine his response if a gay man had approached him the same way? Dude would be on the 6 o'clock news crying into the camera while covered in blood.
Even when presented with the hypocrisy, they still refuse to acknowledge there is a problem.
Maybe it's safe to assume he's a conservative but you'll be surprised at how many brocialists we have on the left.
he made her point so perfectly well, and yet still can't (and won't ever be able to) see it himself.
How was it called? When people are so close to getting the point it hurts, yet still don't get it? I remember there being a subreddit about it.
That went so far over his head, I'm not sure he heard the woosh.
He would feel threatened if a creepy woman TSA agent did this to him too. It's much more rare, but it's a better argument for these kinds of people. I've seen this response countless times. Banned from r/conservative for "threatening" users lol.
Think of them like children (his debate skills are <6th grader, so he literally is). You have to be gentle.

They're not like children, they're just narcissists.
It's the attitude of: "If I do something bad to you, you should be flattered. But don't you dare do that to me!"
Nah, hit his homophobic ass with the theoretical hyper-masculine leather daddy hitting on him
got a ban on reddit for this. Dude was saying Ukraine should give up the stolen land for peace. So i asked him for his address so i could occupy one of his rooms.
he did not like that
I chuckled at this. Surely a single room is not enough?
Lebansraum!
Reminds me of an episode of "Cheers." Cliff calls a woman and starts heavy breathing into the phone, then he's surprised when she hangs up.
"My mom always laughs when I do it to her!"
I recently discovered that, at the beginning of Cheers, Cliff was some five years younger than I currently am, and I'm not happy about this AT ALL.
Well, you see. The man has a penis, therefore he is at higher risk of violence than women.
Wait, no. It's the opposite.
Cis men experience more of every non-sexual form of violence than cis women on average, to the point where they experience more incidents of overall violence.
The fun part is when you start digging into where that violence is coming from....
A lot of trans women who possess penises are at extreme risk of violence from men.
The original Bri Larson tweet makes me think of a recent post on lemmy that showed younger men are less and less likely to ask women out in person. Some people in the comments said "hey it's ok to approach women in public just be ok with them saying no" but when I read what women say about being approached in public (like bri larsons tweet here) I get the feeling that I should never approach women in public because I'll make them feel scared.
I'm not talking about the top tweet where a guy is memorizing your address, that is creepy, I understand that, but the guy in the bri Larson tweet wasn't being creepy, just shooting his shot right? Or am I way off here?
He's at work, be professional at least. He also doesn't know the person, but if he was just some random dude you are still inconveniencing a person slightly. They say no, you are inconvenienced back.
Your workplace is for work, not for interfering with people trying to use your service. You can become friends with regulars and then ask them out if you desire, but you also involve more of yourself at risk in the question.
So just don't. Go to public gatherings or places of interest, where people have a common understanding of at least socializing. Having a friend already diffuses the situation or possible tension that an engagement can form.
Here's the thing, work takes up like half your day. If you aren't allowed to be a normal human at work, you're going to be a miserable person. That being said, a normal person doesn't ask for a phone number after a few sentences. They at a minimum have a conversation long enough to establish that having a second conversation would actually be an enjoyable experience. That's probably not gonna happen at a TSA checkpoint and that's fine.
"Approaching in public" can mean so many different things. What most women have a problem with is being approached in a situation where the man has some form of power over her. For example a cashier or server has to be friendly and smile or she will risk her job. Being approached is uncomfortable, because too many men don't understand it when the no comes with a smile. They are also in a position of power, because they can complain about her or make a scene and get her in trouble.
In this case the TSA agent has some form of power over her and could give her trouble if she refuses. She has no way of knowing if a "no" will be met with understanding or with him holding her up, being insistent, keeping her from passing. That's what makes it especially uncomfortable.
I thought they were threatening him with flowers? He must be reading too much into it.
She should've ended it with "No. I'm going to send you some flowers."
It reads like "cans of soup... for my family"
It's the implication!..
Men (especially young boys) are more likely to be victims of random violence.
Women tend to receive violence from friends and family in the home.
For whatever that's worth
