    Being an asshole is not illegal. Obeying the law doesn’t mean you’re a good person.

    If these dudes were - as the article quotes describe - pushing, shoving, cutting in line then like I don’t see why you feel you need to identify with these particular dudes.

    You can absolutely wait until some guy actually is being unfairly treated before dying on this hill.

      Oh I very much agree, and I don’t think I have suggested otherwise anywhere?

      Also, the pushing, shoving etc. Is a completely different matter compared to what I am interested to discuss. I have a problem believing that any single men has gone there pushing and shoving but I have no problem believing that some did, and that is being an asshole.

      Anyway, as I said I can’t care less about this argument, I am interested in the rest of the argument, the part in which it’s not the behavior being criticized but the very fact that they were there, as males.
