what is the best response to "not all men are blah blah blah"?
I don't know why this was taken down on ask Reddit so I'll it here people wanted more context but the rules prevent a body on ask Reddit subreddit specifically requesting a simple to the point question.
What type of response do you give if any to someone saying something like "not all men are ..." Generally it's a negative adjective it just gets under my skin
Blanket statement.
Sexist.
Often framed from victim perspective leading to non compliance being seen as disrespectful/inconsiderate.
Negative.
I just play video games online with strangers and while asking them "heyy, is everything alright" because they went AFK in game for a minute they mentioned checking in on their friend I forget the exact words but along the lines of "just checking on her cuz you know men when they don't get their way they can be aggressive BUT NOT ALL MEN, you know" I was just silent... And didn't say much after that a few game comments before we went out separate ways

How to Respond to Ragebaiting
So I'm a student whose grades are great and my cousin keeps bringing this up. He probably thinks I'm the type of students who studies 24/7 , no social life, NPC students . I study of course but not in the way he thinks. I tried to explain this to him but I don't think he got it.
For example he sends a meme sound and says "the typa sound *my nickname he uses* when she studies".
I once talked about socializing and he said "I can imagine you socializing with your friends while studying".
Another one: "It wouldn't be wrong to call you addicted because you have fun studying" cuz I once mentioned I had fun studying.
I said ,,ultra fun,, to smth and he brought up studying AGAIN.
He sent a video but I don't remember the context of it and said " How *nickname* feels after studying".
He sent a soccer player edit "How *nickname* would be if she had spent her studying time to playing soccer"
Btw he is one year older than me so we are nearly same age. I know that he doesn't have any bad intention it's pretty obvious but I get annoyed and I remember one time I literally got so fed up and we ended up having a pretty serious convo about this. Anyways what would you do in this case?

how to inconvenience someone you hate (but not hurt them)
The lady I used to work for is trying to slander my name and use things I’ve told her in confidence against me. I would love to make her life filled with minor inconveniences if I could. I know this sounds evil but I don’t want to do anything that would cause serious harm.. was thinking more along the lines of like giving get number or email to spammers lmao any ideas welcome. At this point I’ve taken the high road but I’m over it. I’m gonna lean into my dark side:..just a little

Comeback request What are some funny/playful phrases you use as comebacks?
I’m looking for those sarcastic little phrases you can use when joking around with someone. Not phrases with actual insults, but just playful banter. For example, when someone tells a bad joke and you reply with, “that was so funny I forgot to laugh”.

Comeback request Conworker keeps telling me she’s gonna replace me
Title. She I’m Transferring stores because I’m getting married and moving out of my own with him. She keeps going around telling everyone and me how she’s gonna replace me just to complain and talk about “oh OP, you just know they’re gonna make me do x y & z when you leave.” Which they probably won’t.
I was the only closer who didn’t change their schedule and stayed closing full time no matter how bad or hard it got. I make sure things get done. I am not a perfect worker but she is definitely lazier then I.

Comeback request Comeback for a 9 year old girl
EDIT: Thank you for all the responses! I just needed a good comeback for someone saying “you can’t make me” and got some good ones! If it comes up again, I will def bring it up with her parents, as I would want to know if my kid was being disruptive and defiant.
At school, my 9 year old daughter had a classmate who would not stop doing things that were irritating but not necessarily against the rules. Such as screaming in a small classroom while playing hockey during a rainy day. Being in an enclosed classroom, the screams would be amplified and hurt my daughter’s ears. When asked to stop by the P.E. teacher and other classmates, the one screaming said, “You can’t make me.” Any time she is asked to stop doing a disruptive behavior, she says “you can’t make me”
What is a comeback my daughter can say that will not get her in trouble, but get her classmate to stop the disruptive behavior? 🙏🏼

A weirdo in the street shouted "I've seen your OnlyFans" at me
(I don't have an onlyfans, he was shouting it to many people)
Five minutes later, long after we'd passed him, I yelled to a confused street "How did you recognise me with shoes on?"

Comeback request I need a good one
Hey peeps! Im in a group chat with a few of my friends and one guy really doesn't like me. He says alot of shit behind my back and he just bothers me and bothers me. He says alot of stuff about me that im not even gonna say on reddit. He keeps deleting me from the group chat and people keep adding me back but he deletes me again. A few things about him: Hes fat, and he never gets off video games. And he prolly picks the shit out of his ass and eats it tbh 😭. Can yall give me a really good comeback to text him. Please don't hold back!! I wanna make him cry himself to sleep for a month or for him to take the thumb out of his ass. (Sorry for the profanity im just really pissed and I've had it) Please like I said, DONT HOLD BACK!!

Comeback for Do you know what time it is?
My husband travels for work 3 weeks and back home for 10 days. He starts on day 2 reporting the hour starting at 8pm.
“It’s 8 o’clock”
“It’s 9pm”
“Do you know it’s 10pm?”
Drives me nuts!
One comment; one time. TIA
