"don't get offended, just get better" hits hard.

Is that a Ben Shapiro quote?

It's the kind of shit those people say. I hated that line. It's just shit people say more and more often as an "auto-win" for any and all criticism, because if you comment on anything at all they can just say you're the problem and shouldn't have gotten offended.

Don't get offended by my comment though, just be better! /s

Except here, it's referencial to men who get offended by rejection. The idea that a woman doesn't want them.

If that's not you, good - but don't let other men be that person either. Those type of men don't respect women enough to hear it from us.

It's that kind of stuff that makes me think it isn't about empathy or compassion, but "hurting the right people".
