    Is the top guy somebody we should know or is he just creepy because of what he said? I do think it’s important to know how to deal with the opposite sex regardless of gender, personally, I would never just throw a child into the world to figure it out, and teaching wariness is just a part of that.

      Taken out of twitter context, his message is actually completely valid imo. Everyone should learn how to treat everyone with respect.

          We don’t, but that sounds like a lot of instances yeah. Especially Hexbear and other state run instances who are trying to intentionally radicalize the naive.

        The phrases “Men should learn how to treat women” and “Women should know how to treat men” are both vastly different than “Everyone should learn how to treat everyone with respect.”

          I mean its 50% of the latter. Just gotta add “women how to treat women” and “men how to treat men” and then all the boring binary labels are covered. But yeah in this context its meant in a weird sexist and probably very unequal way.

        Unironically can’t believe people are paying to tell on themselves these days

      Most parents/adults don’t know how to treat the opposite sex either though.

        As someone who’s worked in retail, a ton of people don’t know how to treat humans like anything other than objects.

          Right… everyone trying to make this a gender thing is missing the forest for the trees.

            I mean, the gender thing is also an issue. Two things can be part of the same problem.

          A lot of changes is society have come up in the last couple of generations. Changes equality, sexual freedoms, modern parenting, men’s roles at home, women’s role at work, etc. Many of my parent’s generation really do not know the first things about changing roles and expectations of the sexes and what people of the current generation want. Most people I know of that generation are (mildly to extremely) socially conservative. I get along great with my parents and I happily welcome them to live with me for 5 months of every year… But I would never have the teach anyone in my generation the lessons from their generation (I do speak to them about these things out of interest, but more to talk about how different the culture is between or generations now).

            Alright, tell your kids it’s fine to fuck around with their bodies and people’s feelings and find out, then.

            Being able to build trust and find lifelong companionship is a skill surely lacking in youth, but arrogance is clearly not.
