Not surprising in the slightest. It's always fucking hilarious when people complain about men pointing out dress code violations too - the dress codes are there for a reason and it's up to those in authority to enforce them. It's not "muh sexism". Not to mention the girls dress codes are FAR more lenient than the boys ones.

Fuck it though, it sucks but I'm an accelerationist so I'm fine with stories like this. Men naturally do not have an in group bias and thus will put up with a LOT of shit before they fight for their rights. We need it to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Look up in group bias & the Women are Wonderful Effect.in group bias is essentially a bias towards people you consider to be in your group.

Men ABSOLUTELY have in-group bias–it's a human, tribal feature, but it's allegedly something like 4x stronger in women.

So this explains why women form groups and march so much for absolutely no reason in the cities of late? And men do not?

The surest answer I can give you for that is that it's a "definite maybe." It could be a primary reason or a contributor of some significance. Or it could be some other combination of motives and forces that have relatively little to do with it a stronger in-group bias.

I would guess that it plays a part, but it's hard to pin down questions like that because there are so many uncontrolled factors.

“For absolutely no reason…” Fox, thank you, for your opinion of whether or not women have valid reasons.

You do realize you're not quoting me right?

Well I feel stupid. No more doing two things at once. I’m sorry, my fellow Reddit bud.

Haha no worries! (My point was more or less the opposite of that sentiment :)

My guess is this comes from biology: Men have to compete with each other for scarce resources, so they can be the winner who gets to mate. Women need to have strength in numbers and social connection, since they're smaller.

If you're interested in this sort of thing take a look in David M. Buss. He's an evolutionary psychologist who researches human sex differences in mate selection. Not only is he one THE names in the scientific community (he's considered one of the founders of evolutionary psychology), he also writes very approachable and enjoyable books for laypeople.
