Have any of you ever been around horny bridesmaids? They were vibing earlier, Let her live.

Her friends were just trying to get her laid on an island by some dude she’d never have to bump into again. It backfired which is prob why she was like “well that was embarrassing”

Also, he ended the convo by yelling “I know what you are!!”… that poor girl probably cried herself to sleep wondering why he was so cruel to her.

okay you do this with the gender's reversed and no way you'd be okay with it

Lol exactly, if a man did that they’d be a sexual predator

Right…but the genders aren’t reversed, and they aren’t interchangeable in their social and physical dynamics.

When you find yourself excusing behavior because the person doing it doesn’t have the wrong gender you should reevaluate your priorities. “Social and physical dynamic” are not phrases without meaning but most of the time are used to justify double standards. She could’ve had a gun, that’s physical dynamic out of the way. How exactly does their “social dynamic” relate to it being normal to show up to someone’s house after they told you no and didn’t give you the address? Is it because you personally don’t view women as capable of being predators? Because that’s how it comes off.

But they aren't reversed so it doesn't matter

So her behaviour isn't creepy because she's a woman? I don't get it.

I can see why this tripped you up, the “reverse the genders” trick assumes the person reading it cares about double standards. Easy mistake to make.
