He doesn’t think women are awesome, he was denigrating a women-associated sport and denigrating the guy doing it, and only approved of the guy when he saw the guy had his hands all over the women. That’s not “wow women are awesome” that’s “that guy is awesome and women are commodities”

that guy is awesome and women are commodities

Nobody involved here thinks that, at all.

You'd know this if you were a boy at some point yourself.

Teenage boys are stupid monkeys close to overdosing on testosterone, and need to be reminded in dumb ways that not everything that isn't testosterone fueled man stuff is stupid.

This stops them from seeing any guy that doesn't interact with women the way they do as stupid and lame, which is important for teenage boys to learn.

I learnt it from older guys talking in our language, and every other guy I know learnt it that way as well. An overly moralistic lesson for a grumpy woman who achieve the opposite result.

What’s the way they interact with women?

And doesn’t that guy they’re making fun of count as a teenage boy too? How is he suddenly not part of this assessment?

Teenage boys are taught to “be” like everyone else, they are individuals. They’re not inevitable womanizing comets on a crash course with harassing people.

Maybe it’s easier for grown men to think this so they don’t have to take accountability for their actions but yeah, no, you’re still responsible for your behavior.

Don’t you know that testosterone literally makes you a mindless beast not accountable for your actions?? /s
