But there's honestly no male equivalent to this, except maaaaybe jocks giving wedgies, and that's a pretty big stretch. Guys just don't harsh each others' buzzes like that, they don't even seem to process social interaction on this same base level that a lot of women do. It's frightening, and, frankly, I often think it's borderline psychotic.
It's like these women think that if you don't act like them, it's because you just don't know yet that you should. So they inevitably start trying to "teach" you how to exist. They'll try to suggest you buy that silver heart-shaped locket with engraved kittens shitting rainbows on it and a place to put your bff's picture inside. They'll try to make you wear lavender sweaters and Ugghhh boots. They'll get all butthurt if you're honest, while they act nice to your face and try to destroy you behind your back. If you refuse to model yourself after them, they'll make your life a living hell in any way possible. Their favorite trick is the backhanded compliment, which they do in public when they're really pissed.
I often wonder how in the hell men can be attracted to that, because most of them seem to be. It just stuns and appalls me. Well, I guess it makes sense-- they don't act like that in front of guys, they get their "teehee" eyelash bats and smiles on when the guys enter the room.
If I were male, I'd be the twinkiest twink on planet Earth. But I'd only do bears.
“ but then I thought it would be too condescending. Came back to find your edit.
