he made her point so perfectly well, and yet still can't (and won't ever be able to) see it himself.

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

You're missing the context of WHEN THEY ARE the targets. Women are more often on the receiving end for both. Just because one gender gets one type of violence more often, still doesn't mean they receive more instances of it over the other.

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.

Not everything is a debate. The dude is just an asshole.

Actually if you're a Democrat you have to act perfectly all the time. This guy's a Republican so it's totally fine to be a child.

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!"

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 23 hours ago

It could be, or it could be 6th grade debate and communication skills. But we're allowed to be angry and not act perfectly.

Nah, hit his homophobic ass with the theoretical hyper-masculine leather daddy hitting on him

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 23 hours ago

Satisfying to argue but doesn't work either on these 6th grade debate ability folks. You make a 7th grade argument, not an adult one if you want to help him.

Well, you see. The man has a penis, therefore he is at higher risk of violence than women.

Wait, no. It's the opposite.

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!"
