That's not healthy. Rejection is a part of life. The best response is to accept it, assess whether it warrants an adaption, and move on.

If you think I'm being harsh, picture this - what if a man made a fedora out of the profile pictures of all the women that had rejected him on tinder? Same principle really.

I think the point of this piece of performance art may just be the very same message as yours...

Did you read the article? She wore the skirt as she defended her thesis. FTA:

> She defended her Ph.D. dissertation in the handcrafted regalia, not in spite, but to show that rejection is a natural part of the process in achieving goals.

I did, and I think she doth protest too much.

Again, picture the picture-fedora. What if the dude told you "it's just a natural part of the process of achieving goals" ? Would you think to yourself "wow there's a well rounded individual who handled that well"? Or would you think he was a fucking weirdo?

Why do you think your analogy is at all comparable?

He'd break his neck.
