      Yes. It does. If we’re inaccurately defining the term “men” as a gender only, then what they do is entirely irrelevant- as behavior isn’t defined by gender. But that’s not what I’m doing here.

      I’m taking about the term “men” as one being a grown adult. And grown adults don’t behave this way. children that don’t know better do. Don’t get wrapped up in absolutes here. It’s just a play on words tweak of terminology.

      Men know better.

      EDIT: autocorrect is a monster!

        Grown adults behave this way all the time, and plenty of them know better, they just dont care. You are being absurd.

          Do you honestly think that I am assuming these people are actually children? Do you think that I don’t understand the difference between a small child and an adult? Is it possible that I’m accusing them of being immature little kids for messing in such an appalling manner by taking away their ability to be seen as men?

          Or do you think that maybe you’re taking my comment to the extreme literal for the because you like to argue?

          I’ll let you think about that for a little while and come back to this.

            Why the need to stop seeing them as men? Why the need to redefine men behaving badly as boys? It seems like you can’t accept that some men behave this way so you want to pretend they’re not really men.

              Okay. You clearly want to be offended, and I’m not a person that indulges people that want to be offended.

              I have explained myself enough times that I feel confided that you either cannot understand what I am saying to you or are consciously choosing not to.

              Either way, this is over.

                  No, you can’t. And that is fine. Maybe it’s a regional thing. Either way, I’m not blaming you for this misunderstanding.

                  Here- where I am, an adult being called a child is an insult. For example, saying to someone: “You’re being childish!” Is calling them out for bad or inappropriate behavior.

                  This has nothing to do with gender and everthing to do with maturity. Hopefully this explains it better.
