tl;dr: It&#x27;s appalling that I was treated as any man would in a similar situation. Where are all the &#x27;good men&#x27; in the world who&#x27;ll protect women from such base treatment.<p>Take any guy, good looking, bad looking, genius intelligence, or idiot. Watch them join a conversation yet make no measurable effort to draw interest from others or offer something of value.<p>How will he be treated? Like like he&#x27;s invisible. A treatment that isn&#x27;t just limited to conversation, it extends to life as a whole. Men who have nothing interesting to say or do with their lives effectively don&#x27;t exist to the rest of the world. That&#x27;s why we posture and aggressively assert ourselves. To do otherwise is to accept a lifetime of irrelevance.<p>Women have and always will be the &#x27;privileged class&#x27; when it comes to human interaction; for the simple fact that most men are singularly incapable of turning off their biological drives.<p>When was the last time you saw a whole group of women fall all over themselves to be inclusive of men (excl celebrities) in any and everything?<p>If you want to be treated with equal consideration that men do, you have to do as we do. Take responsibility and <i>make</i> yourself relevant. Existing and occupying space is simply not enough.<p>Do you know what type of women don&#x27;t get dismissed or treated as somebody&#x27;s &#x27;plus one&#x27;? The ones who fucking introduce themselves and signal to others that they&#x27;re more than just an ornament. A la, don&#x27;t act like an accessory if you don&#x27;t want to be treated like an accessory.<p>I kinda wish Ronda Rousey wouldn&#x27;t have lost that last fight because she was on to something really awesome with her &#x27;anti do nothing bitches&#x27; campaign.<p>*apologies for the language, I just feel really frustrated that so many women would rather blame men for all of the problems in the world rather than focusing that energy on self-reflection and finding ways to correct the problem
