No question man can be jerks.

But all men realize that a confrontation CAN turn into shoving, which CAN turn into swinging fists.

And sometimes it does. But most of the time, a man will realize that “this is getting out of control” and the man will back down a little because he SEES the line and does not want to cross the line.

It’s totally different with women. There IS no line. No one was going to punch this woman. She felt that she could yell, and curse, and force her way to victory in that situation. She was “all in” and nothing was going to make her back down.

Sure, the airline made her realize that they actually had the power in that situation, but she apparently had not considered that possibility. With men, we ALWAYS consider the possibility that we just might push it too far and come to regret it. That (sometimes) keeps us in check.

I maintain that women in our society today are very often totally out of control.

You sound like you’ve developed some sexual theory based on a minute of a Jordan Peterson video or an on-line lecture from MGTOW - that community so beloved by divorced male freepers.
So men ALWAYS!!! consider things, huh? Tell that to the sentencing judges.

That’s true of over fifty men and working class men

Younger white men and earning class men run their mouths

They grew up where there was no cost attached

I first noticed this when we moved from working class to rich sis of town when I was 15

I couldn’t believe the put downs you could hurl free of charge at someone

Some folks hate to sit next to babies

Having had thirty years experience and counting I don’t hear it like those I accustomed do

I usually offer to help

I don’t like it when they kick my seat from behind ..I’ll let it go a few minutes then I politely ask

I had some kids slamming cards on fold down table...from my chair....they were 20 something’s

I asked politely

They quit....they were terrified....decent kids just unaware

I’m old and beat up big time.....and six five 235 lbs ..I fly first class period.....I do look for deals but still.....forward cabin nowadays only for my old butt

That is a very astute observation.

If not inebriated, men often are aware of where not to cross the line and maintain a little room for valor. But, when drunk, it’s a whole different story.
