    I feel like this is one of those conversations you make up in your head and it’s kinda cringe to write it down.

      From my experience men often underestimate how often women face weirdos. While the whole conversation might happen only in authors head the initial comment of the guy is quite a regular thing. It is a form of bullying. The rest of the conversation might happen in the authors head only, but it’s sad that women have to face such behavior in the first place IMO. If you don’t think such conversation happens at all, you might get enlightened by the everyday sexism project, the related (audio)book, or just ask a friendly woman around you if they ever faced it. https://everydaysexism.com/

      Actually it is a regular thing among the asshole “manosphere” crowd (i.e. the pathetic fucking losersphere).

          I brought up an example of a specific sexist and controlling behavior I observed (guys holding their wives or girlfriends by the neck while walking across the street, like they were steering a chicken) in a meetup group and all the men around me said they had never seen it. The two women said they both had experienced it.

          Repeat this a thousand and one times with other behavior I and presumably you, as men, will never have to experience but are just as real.
