as a man I’m probably an asshole too

Are you going to try to weasel out of your own words by saing that probably here means that you aren’t actually an asshole and you don’t believe you are?

You’ve cherry-picked that out of context, they were clearly trying to say “other people assume that all men are probably assholes, therefore they assume that that I’m probably an asshole”

Cherry picking out parts to remove context is a pretty lame way to “win” an argument bro.

Here’s that segment which doesn’t intentionally remove relevant context:

… which understandably has led to the assumption that as a man I’m probably an asshole too.

Which is—fairly clearly—saying that I understand why others might make an assumption about me.

So you assume that other people think that you are an asshole doesn’t actually mean that you think that you are an asshole? It isn’t cherry-picking when discussion started with you generalizing about “men” being not_good by default. There is little that is understandable about such a position, have you tried not to have negative assumptions about yourself and other people that you don’t know?

I really think you should go read the comment feed from the original twitter post. Don’t pretend to do it, actually go read it. Then read the rest of his posts. Then read the comments from many, many other men on his posts.

Then come back and tell me you genuinely do not understand the complaints being made about men.

If you read all that and still just can’t understand why so many women don’t trust men and generalize about them, well, I don’t think there’s any point in continuing this thread anyways.
