Wait, so what's the point in taking you into a realm that's utterly absurd? I'm not sure that it helps men relate to women's experiences if it feels absurd....

The point is that it's absurd, but women actually deal with this kind of shit. Ridiculous, huh?
Yeah, but folks who don't believe that women actually deal with this shit will just be completely unphased by the turn-around. They deny that this happens and that it is just women being "oversensitive" or "reading into things too much" or whatever.

You're not going to get them on board either by making the absurdist claim, or by trying to hook their sympathy through a post like this.

And men get beaten up in the streets for no reason way more than women.

Pretty absurd, but we deal with it.
