Women are accused of 'duckfacing in bikinis' and then being outraged when someone makes an advance. Somehow these kinds of comments are ok. But now behavior that men proudly attribute to themselves is being challenged, not as demeaning or perverted (by me), but as a tiresome, predictable pain in the ass and you just can't stand it. I don't get it.

I was being facetious in a couple of posts here. I was doing it as a response to some of the rather offensive posts that preceded them. If I confused you, I'm sorry. I knew I should have started using that irony punctuation (⸮) for situations such as these.

My takeaway from this thread overall: people can be hypersensitive to misogyny, whilst being either ignorant of or insensitive to misandry*.
*Depending on your position, misandry may or may not actually be a thing.
