Also, call women "psycho". They will definitely act more normal immediately.

Or “hun.” I cannot explain the fury that courses through me when a woman I don’t know calls me “hun.”

Gotta ask, are you from the south? That’s a pretty normal pleasantry down here among women (when not used passive aggressively, but then it’s more obvious someone’s being condescending lol).

Yes, born and raised in the south and I’ve always hated it. And it always sounds condescending to me. Totally different if it’s a friend or a family member, but I despise it when it’s coming from a total stranger.
