    “Private statement not directed at them” — the characters are in public, making misandrist comments about the people who respond.

    And it’s an obvious allegory for public online posts.

    Yet again, flip the genders. If men make misogynistic comments in public, should they be immune from even the slightest pushback?

    No. Sexism is bad regardless of who is doing the sexism, who they’re saying it to, or who can hear it.

    But the OP is rage bait and a lazy Kafka trap, so I won’t feed the trolls any further. You’re welcome to have the last word.

    Back in college a roommate’s girlfriend came over and cooked for us out of the blue. It wasn’t great and she scratched my other roommate’s brand new Teflon cookware with metal utensils.

    We politely said it was good and thanked her.

    Half an hour later, roommate #1 was berating us because his girlfriend was in tears because roommate #2 and I were insufficiently effusive in our praise of her cooking.
