> Anyways... I'm talking about refusing to tutor someone unless they're pretty, not refusing to date them.

Yeah, still not harassment. Discrimination maybe, definitely not harassment in any known dictionary.

> I'm sorry that correctly stating a fact (giving different levels of support depending on if you've got romantic prospects) is a form of harassment apparently triggered so many.

I don't think you know the difference between harassment and discrimination.

> Not only have I not spoken up for incels, I've actively advocated they should feel free to exit this planet (sans spree killing) if they feel that upset about their dating prospects.

Are you or are you not claiming that $GENDER_A ignoring $GENDER_B is a form of harassment?

If you're making the claim that MEN ignoring WOMEN is a form of harassment/discrimination, but WOMEN ignoring MEN isn't, then you're experiencing some severe form of cognitive dissonance.

Semantic difference. It's discrimination to only help the hotties.

I've had folks politely turn down coffee, but I literally never had a female classmate refuse to help me with something related to an engineering course.
