Depends on the context of it and who I am with. I have called out sincerely misogynistic comments before even if it is with a person I like, but if it is clearly a joke then I ignore it.

No you didn't. Hell, the top two comments there are basically the same as what I gave.

Why bold-face lie like that when I can go and easily disprove you?

Speaking up to hate speech isn't about control or taking anyone's freedom of speech away. It's about calling it out because of the societal damage it causes. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of what you said. Also, therapists don't work the way you are describing they do.

Perhaps you should take some 101 classes at your local community college so you can learn all of this information in an effective manner.

It will depend on context, like most things. There’s no one answer to this.

Same thing I do when I hear them everyday, ignore them and laugh when they say it to the wrong person and it backfires.

Meh, nothing.

If it was my homeboy though? I’d sort it out with him, but any other guy? That’s his problem and if he’s doing that toward a woman? Well, that’s her problem.

I believe in her ability to handle the situation. I’ll only help a woman if a fella gets physical with her because it’s a clear mismatch. Outside of those specific parameters, that’s it.

I think the problem is that a lot of men either don't even hear it when it happens, or give the person the benefit of the doubt on intent.

Most of the guys I know would never believe they'd tolerate blatant misogyny. However, experience has shown me out on my own dealing with it, and struggling to convince them of what was going on.

BTW I asked the same question but with women and misandrist comments

Nothing, Unless you know the context of the situation, MYOB.

I automatically assume the person who said it is a dick. Then I upbraid myself for misandry and assume they are an asshole instead.

That depends to a certain extent on the context, but I do generally try to at least cringe.

Probably nothing unless it was directed towards my wife or daughters.

If it's a man that said the comment you should laugh too loud and awkwardly to get everyone's attention. Make eye contact with the commenter and hold it while you rip a mean fart. Now go back to what you were doing but every so often turn and waft butt air at them to keep them unsettled. This is a dominance game.

Now if it's a woman who made the comment you should do the exact same thing. You aren't sexist. You treat everyone equally.

It depends on the context. If I'm at some bar with a bunch of chodes, I won't say anything but I'd probably just leave since it would be "their turf" for people like that. If I'm ordering food somewhere or at a store I'd say something. But I'm also the type of person that speaks up when someone is being rude or raising their voice at service people.

I would let it go because there is this thing called free speech and its better to not entertain foolish people. People must have lower I.Q's these days because its pretty apparent that any attention is still attention and thats what shitty people seek. Its been a staple in media that even bad publicity is still publicity. You tell someone something bad about another and often times they won't stray away but instead try to find out for themselves. Look at how much media attention Ozzy Osbourne got over the claims of him biting the head off a bat.

Why would I care about someone else’s views. They can say whatever they like.

The question was, what WOULD you do. Perhaps it's good you don't police speech since you seem to not understand it that well anyway.

The answer is implied - nothing.

Why? Because I don't police speech.

Jesus Christ... People like you are so confident, yet so incredibly stupid.
