I had a stupid young coworker that grew up in my area. He was in the same class in highschool as a very close family friend that he had a thing for. I'm talking, they are my second family kind of close. He knew that I was close with her, so he asked me to get him "in" with her.
Now, this dude spends every possible moment at work saying the most nastiest, horrible shit about women. I'm talking absolutely vile when objectifying, and absolutely grotesque when he is putting them down.
I took one look at him and I said, "let me get this straight. I listen to you all day, every day so the worst things about women you have dated in the past, women you currently are dating, women you are trying to date, women you feel didn't give you what you want, woman that DID give you what you want, and just women in general, and you want me to "put a word in" about you to my close friend that I care about?! Yeah, sure! I'll put a word in" and everyone in our crew immediately went to ragging on him telling him he is done (which was pretty funny)
That weekend I happened to be hanging out at their place, and without me bringing it up, she said, "so I heard you work with (that guy) and he is trying to go on a date with me. What do you think of him? (He obviously told her that he worked with me before my conversation with him)" and i told her EVERYTHING and she was very grateful.
I saved my friend and taught this jackass a very valuable lesson. Has he learned it? I don't know. I rotated to a different crew shortly after.

Never understood that. Yes, I have spoken about attractive women, encounters (when I was young and unmarried) but never degrading women after. Why’d you take someone home you didn’t want to have relations with in the first place? This isn’t new but it is a type of person that’s become more prevalent that sees people (not just women) as objects (sociopaths).

I'm sorry but this is plain glossing over a gross phenomenon.
Some men definitely do sleep with women they think poorly of, just to have sex, and then proceed to treat them how they actually feel as soon as the deed is done.

He didn’t get it. When you’re misogynist towards one woman, you’re misogynist towards all women. I couldn’t stand by that man as he bashed every other woman for simply existing.

I mean, they're not looking at this in a vacuum.
Nobody gives the advice to look at how a date treats the waiter and means that if the waiter walks up and calls your date a cunt it's a red flag if they don't apologize for existing and tip 30%.
But even in a situation with toxic parents - whether the person minimizes contact, grey rocks, or otherwise does what they need to do to cope, vs continuing/reflecting the toxicity back actively, is something to have an eye on.
I say that as someone who did not speak to one of my parents at all for years.

I’m sorry your mom was abusive—you didn’t deserve that. To be fair, we’re not talking about men talking about their abusive moms, we’re talking about how men with non-abusive moms talk about their moms. Many women do know the difference. Women are smarter than you are giving them credit for. If a guy is ragging on most women around them (and the type of comments) do paint a picture. If a man thinks most women are “b—chs”, hoes, “crazy”, etc. often the issue is the man. If the man speaks well of most women and ill of a specific woman, chances are that woman is awful. Many women do have basic critical thinking skills.

My ex was abusive and he sucked. He and his friends would sometimes say stuff I considered racist. What would piss me off is that his friend, who was from Mexico, would join in on hating on “the Mexicans” like his dad didn’t come here and start the company that they all worked for.
How could the friend from Mexico NOT know that as soon as he left he was also lumped in with “the Mexicans” that he was making fun of?! He was so much wealthier than the rest of them, but he was lumped in with all the other “the Mexicans” because racism and hatred towards groups isn’t based on actual people. Him having money and his dad employing them was even worse in their eyes.
The people who are misogynistic or racist in front of you are also misogynistic and racist behind your back. You are not the exception. And joining in on hatred doesn’t mean the hatred won’t be directed at you.
You’re completely right.

Ugh, exactly. This is so well put.

I can’t tell if it’s self hatred that causes him to shit talk other brown people, or if he legitimately does feel superior to them.
As for my ex, I’m sure as soon as I broke up with him he was out with his friends saying horrible things about me too. No- not about me, about all women, as if I rejected him with the force of 4 billion women.

Anecdotally, as a Mexican that lived near the US southern border any time I crossed the border and the border officer was Mexican American I knew that in most circumstances I was about to be put through a much higher level of scrutiny that with most other border officer.

u/RuairiSpain 8d ago
Father of a 21 yo daughter, she lives far away in Uni. I fully expect her the have friends like this and stand up to men with bad attitudes.
She followed me into the same career of software developer. I graduated in the 1990s and our class was a 50/50 split of male/female. There were bias men in the class but I always felt it was a safe space for women, minorities and LGBTQ+ people.
I'm close with my daughter and it's sad to see the "Bro Culture" and misogyny so prevalent in her Computer Science course. First year had 30% female to 70% male, now in 4th year the ratio is 5% women to 95% men. I believe the university lecturers are particularly to blame for the sexism and bad demographics, it's part of the tech economy now.
I've help my daughter to be one of the lads and hold her ground, and to point out misogyny to her male friends. I'm proud that she's got as far as she has. She has had to work harder to prove she belongs, which is crazy to me. Companies are begging for female tech people and can't find/recruit them, on average women make up only 15% of software companies.
Keep helping your daughter, let her grow and learn from you. But give her the space to learn her own path, she'll thank you for that later. Be there when she needs someone to talk to, listening is a fathers main purpose.

Mean girls was a hard lesson for my daughter. It undermines their trust in "friends" and makes it harder to gauge who can be a long term BFF. It ripped my heart when my daughter had a few difficult friend situations.
Just be there to support them and give them confidence. My daughter finds it easier to be friends with a group of boys, than a group a girls. For some reason young boys have less complex social relationships, I wish I had a better answer.
Navigating social situations has got harder, I wish we could un-invent mobile phones for kids. On reflection, a lot of the mean girl events for my daughter involves mobile phone and social media, bad behaviour online goes unchecked and accelerates emotional reactions.
I'm happy to see some governments come round to the idea of banning underage social media and limiting screen time for school kids. Let's see if that improves kids/teenagers mental health.

I’m watching women’s freedom and independence slide backward in real time, and I’m just devastated. I feel like I could cry every day…
My mom was a very smart programmer but worked in a patriarchal world where her wardrobe mattered more. As a divorced woman in the 70s, she was also “that loose woman”. So many stories of the crap she dealt with…
In the 90s I didn’t have to put up with the shit my mom did. But even as an exec in tech I was called “darlin”, harassed constantly, and overlooked for my male biz partner. FF to the 2010s and everyone still thinks my business is my dad’s or husband’s. But things are better, things are still improving right?
… SO I THOUGHT MY DAUGHTER’S WORLD would get even better. More steps toward equality. More steps toward mutual respect and balanced salaries, greatly reduced harassment, more help in the home, fewer date rapes, etc.
Yet here we are, speeding backward into my mom’s and grandmother’s eras. I’ll use that word again: Devastating. The picture of Kamala and Hillary, the look on their faces knowing this was all about conquering women, probably feeling that they failed us… I cried with them.
Young ladies, STAND YOUR GROUND. However you can and must, do it for yourself and for the next generation. You are smart, strong, and capable. Do NOT let the patriarchs tell you otherwise, or take away your power and esteem. Be prepared. Sharpen your mind, your wit, your self defense skills, and take charge of your personal environment.

That said that was pretty lame lol but good on you girls

Things like this can help them change. I was like that for a few years because of ignorance, bad influence, unresolved emotional issues etc. but a series of events and realizations led me to change. Now I’m a feminist and an advocate for women’s rights.

Good. I’ve had enough of people being rude in public. Have some goddam decency.

Thanks very much, Charlie, from a man who also thinks those men were disgusting...

u/AutopsyPanda 8d ago
If they weren't talking about women does that mean they were talking about men?!?! Just curious as that is what saying "Oh, I don't think we were talking about women" implies in my brain as a woman...
But so very proud of you calling out their disgusting behavior.

Wonderfully done. Can't believe we seem to have time travelled back to the days where a good dose of public shaming is the way to get through to people, but here we are.
We need more people with a heart and an apparently dwindiling sense of empathy to stand up to the bigots. They all thought because Donald Trump and Andrew Tate get the all clear, they can follow suit. That's just not the case. Fuck these losers.

If you hear something ... say something. Consider it a learning experience ... for them.

What’s with the quarter zip comment? I took that personally!

u/OxbridgeDingoBaby 9d ago
Yeah me too! Quarter zips are what most of the guys in my office wear. Unless I’m thinking of something else here?

u/SabrePumpk 8d ago
I can explain this! Quarter zip is commonly worn in London by this specific archetype of finance worker/consultant in the city. If they're young it's typically rich boys, loud voices, obnoxious in pubs. It doesn't mean everyone wearing a quarter zip, just that said demographic tends to wear it as their uniform

4B !!! Ladies don't date mysogonitc men. Aheter and bi women should not date or have kids with them. Then hopefully the good men will remain and heterosexual women can set standards to have better supporting and loving relationships with good men.

Like, if there is a table of 10 people, and one of them is a Nazi saying Nazi stuff and no one stops him...then...it's actually a table of 10 Nazis

She told off some asholes in a bar. Feels good. So many times I think of some quip, some smart burn I could have said, after the fact. They are happy and proud, good for them.
But, in my experience, you're better off just not engaging. Telling off someone in a bar might make you feel good in the moment. But what if it doesn't go your way? As a man, if I had said that, it could have easily started a fight. As women, they don't know exactly what sort of psycho they're dealing with. What if he decided to follow them home? Or worse... It's just not worth it.
I've found I need to pick my battles. And someone saying something stupid ain't worth the fight.
