That's ragebait, a very specific form of engagement

    Not necessarily. You've never met someone with backwards, toxic views like this?

    Well of course- but identifying online ragebait is also a valuable skill to develop, because then you can just not engage with it.

    Wouldn't be surprised at all if the dude in the thumbnail is an actual IRL sexist- it's not an exclusive-or situation. The pattern of first passing these off as someone else's ideas and not his own, and then the "but idk what do you think..." at the end stinks of engagement bait.
