Are you threatening me?

Oh no. Not violence. How awful.

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

I thought they were threatening him with flowers? He must be reading too much into it.

How was it called? When people are so close to getting the point it hurts, yet still don't get it? I remember there being a subreddit about it.

  I miss that subreddit
  
  Yep, that's it. Thank You.

Classic conservative move, they immediately understand the problem when it applies to them but cannot or will not generalise to others
- Even when presented with the hypocrisy, they still refuse to acknowledge there is a problem.
- Maybe it's safe to assume he's a conservative but you'll be surprised at how many brocialists we have on the left.
  
  brocialists
  Lol
- That's more of an idiot move.
  
  Who's got the time to tell the difference?
  
  The Venn diagram between those two things is basically a circle at this point.
  
  That's what they said
- Can you even imagine his response if a gay man had approached him the same way? Dude would be on the 6 o'clock news crying into the camera while covered in blood.
  
  Sone might fight, but guys like these on socials would get hammered by gay dudes. No pun intended.
- What has this got to do with being conservative?
  It's just someone being an ass, I don't understand how their place on the political spectrum even gets thought about.
  I find this a lot on social media. How there is such venom towards whatever the other side is that it becomes all encompassing.
  Or am I totally missing something here?
  Edit: the American masses don't like their world view being questioned it seemed.

  When you write something like this, you can't genuinely think it's 100% accurate, right? Like, you have to know it's BS deep down, right?
  
  That smells like “not all conservatives”
  
  Lack of empathy, especially towards women, is generally associated with conservatives due to the current political climate. Whether or not that's got any truth to it, I couldn't say.
  
  It's not just "anyone being an ass is conservative!" This type of misogyny is very much a conservative thing. They've made it part of their ethos.
  
  Eh, it's not just americans. Conservatism is very much "rules for thee but not for me".
  
  Women are bleeding to death alone in hospital parking lots after being kicked out by doctors as a direct result of the conservative movement. Have you ever faced a real life-or-death threat? It is only human to fight back with all your might all the time when someone tries to kill you.

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

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.
- his debate skills are <6th grader, so he literally is
  Now that's a logical fallacy.
  
  Literally is now just an intensifier in most contexts. We’ve lost the war
- Think of them like children (his debate skills are <6th grader, so he literally is). You have to be gentle.
  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!"
- Nah, hit his homophobic ass with the theoretical hyper-masculine leather daddy hitting on him

That went so far over his head, I'm not sure he heard the woosh.

Well, you see. The man has a penis, therefore he is at higher risk of violence than women.
Wait, no. It's the opposite.
- Cis men experience more of every non-sexual form of violence than cis women on average, to the point where they experience more incidents of overall violence.
  
  The fun part is when you start digging into where that violence is coming from....
- A lot of trans women who possess penises are at extreme risk of violence from men.
  
  And trans men experience struggles with an epidemic of both sexual abuse and domestic violence, which is basically not studied at all.
  
  Yes, but they are still women, and I specifically was referring to men with penises.
  Checkmate, atheists.

I AM CORNHOLIO
- Exactly what I was thinking from just the title, heh.
  
  Good to know there are so many other degenerates here.
- DO YOU HAVE TP?! Rrrrolios

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!"
- I recently discovered that, at the beginning of Cheers, Cliff was some five years younger than I currently am, and I'm not happy about this AT ALL.
  
  A while back, someone mentioned Jack Benny, and we all laughed about how he'd always say he was "only 39."
  When we were kids, we wondered how old you had to be to think that 39 was young.
  Now we know!
