    It’s unfortunate that this educated woman’s husband felt the need to speak for her when she is fully capable of speaking for herself.

      My best friend’s uncle’s ex girlfriend was there and she said everyone clapped as well.

      I hate to say this, but this is one of the most Reddit flavoured “thathappened” posts I’ve seen on lemmy

        One negative thing about Reddit’s slow downfall is that all the same shitty actors will start to come over here and employ their same old boring karma farming tactics. Hopefully the way lemmy is federated keeps things from getting too shitty. Reddit’s corporate overlords are getting more and more controlling. On lemmy, at least for now, you can just hop instances if you start getting cranky.

      Idk, the US is currently run by a Nazi admirer who is famous for bankrupting businesses, yet hosted a celebrity reality TV series about running a business, and while being a known adulterer is somehow generally supported by Christians in the country.

      That doesn’t even begin to get into the DOGE shit show… Reality right now is a massive #thathappened

      ThatHappened is a flat circle. Sometimes things are so conveniently contrived looking that they did really happen. Truth is stranger than fiction.

      The most believable part is that is what a Rogen fan would say.

          People using the word “intellect” in the same sentence as rogan makes the first part quite unbelievable too. Also, in my experience, people also refer to themselves as PhDs or physicians, because saying “doctor” outside of formally addressing one doesn’t reveal anything about what the person actually does other than their ““intellect””.

        Maybe. But i’ve never actually met or talked to anyone that says shit like that. Do you guys discuss podcasts like this with friends, or even worse, randoms? It’s like taking about some reality show or something, who cares what an idiot has to say about a subject. It boggles my mind.

        This kind of wordvomit has to be related to close to 2 decades of 140 character limit “discussions” online. I never understood why anyone would want twitter, and i get a greater feeling of justification in my belief for every day that passes.

          Sometimes you’re in a social gathering that’s polite and one guy invited has a bug up his ass. Like, I have a guy in my social group who keeps joking that women are going to get forced to get pregnant. All the men in the group now vocally tell him it’s not funny. He’s not even weird in other ways that are noticeable.

          I’ve also met full gown men who still love Rogan and believe the sentiment of the post. They are often kind of close minded and dumb.

          Just be really grateful you haven’t had the misfortune to run into these members of society haha

          (I agree with your sentiment about twitter. I never saw the draw)

        maybe it’s less of a flat circle and more of a downward spiral… or maybe things are just getting more and more stupid every day… or maybe it’s a cyclical decline… or maybe THE PRESIDENT IS SELLING CARS AT THE WHITE HOUSE

    I honestly don’t know. It would be completely justified if women flipped out more often.

    I like her husband’s response, though.

      The fact you don’t have any friends that would stand up for their wives like this is more an indictment of you and the company you keep

        All of my friends would stand up for their wives. That’s a wild assumption you’re making

        The fact you take things so personally speaks volumes about your life.

          So why is it so unusual that somebody would stand up for theirs? Why is this a thing that doesn’t happen?

          You said it doesn’t happen.

            The whole sequence of events seems unlikely to have happened particularly if you’ve never been dragged to a company meeting by your spouse. Where people absolutely drink and forget not everyone wants to hear their political hot takes like ‘‘there were only disagreements when they started letting women vote’’. But my hard line stepping trigger personally is people smoking Marlboros. Like seriously. Smoke camels, or actually get 30 feet from the door. No one wants to smell that shit. Plus I have asthma.

            Bruh, you’re misunderstanding the point of my og comment. I wasn’t saying someone wouldn’t stand up for their partner. I was saying the entire argument sounds made up

              The argument is, some dude insults a guys wife and then he stands up for her. And you said it “never happened”. How exactly are people going to interpret that?

                  Yeah, usually people are accountable to their words, or speak and write with some intention.

                  So you are going to refuse to answer, how does what you said, make sense, in the context of the other thing you said.

                  If you don’t want to admit that it doesn’t, fine by me.

    In a normal society, there would be high pressure against this kind of behavior, and people would need to be tested at least once a year to stay educated. You don’t really have free will if you can’t make rational choices.
