Driving that’s too fast, too dangerous and utterly lawless: why do we tolerate this petro-masculinity? (www.theguardian.com)

Where is lawbreaking not just visible, but designed to be seen? Where is antisocial behaviour worn as a badge of honour? Where is pleasure gained directly from causing distress? And where is reckless endangerment often ignored by the police or treated with the mildest of punishments? The answer is on the roads.

He’s going to feel scolded, hear that you’re triggered and frightened of his masculinity, and then he’s going to start driving even more aggressively out of spite.

HE FUCKING SHOULD. HE SHOULD BE TRIGGERED.

You are completely missing the point in some silly fucking kindness competition.

As for your rhetorical chops, construct better sentences bro. jfc

    I haven't taken any side in the kindness debate, I am merely taking issue with the fact that you lack basic reading comprehension skills and you're being an arsehole to other people about it.

    Case in point:

    He’s going to feel scolded, hear that you’re triggered and frightened of his masculinity...

    HE FUCKING SHOULD. HE SHOULD BE TRIGGERED.

    Read that quote again. The scoldee is not the person who is triggered in that sentence. The scoldee imagines that that scolder is triggered.
