Idk being more social after covid has made me more conservative. A lot of behavior that I assumed was exclusively online turned out to be surprisingly common in real life.
A lot of the sexism parts in particular were jarring. A significant minority of grown ass women basically used #metoo as leverage to behave in a sexist and immature manner. There's also a culture where other women are extremely reluctant to call out that behavior, or else they might be accused of "internalizing their sexism" and not sufficiently supporting women. I dismissed the postings about that as incel-bait during the pandemic, but it turns out it's extremely common.
Found the guy who needs the advice to go outside but refuses to take it
So my post was explicitly about how I dismissed a lot of things I read on the internet as BS until I encountered them in real life. The part about "ethnical non monogamy" was something I didn't truly believe until I saw it more than once, including some explicit details at a 4th of July party provided by a wife with a visibly uncomfortable husband.
What is your definition of "outside"?
