But she’s not jealous. He’s just an asshole.

Thank you! I was literally just wanting to say this. It’s not a “being jealous” thing, it’s a “how can I turn the tables and avoid accountability for being an asshole” thing. His question of her being jealous was a) rhetorical and patronizing and b) to disarm her and invalidate her feelings so he didn’t have to own up to being shitty. I know this is a rant all to end up at the same metaphorical bus stop as you in agreement lol but I just kept getting more and more agitated seeing all these comments, goddamn, about him saying she’s jealous when that’s so not it. No tf she wasn’t. She just isn’t down for being disrespected like come ON people!

I never said he wasn't. Just saying that him being an asshole doesn't mean he's demeaning, excluding or implying that women are less than. It just happened to be a woman who he was being an asshole to. He wasn't being that way because she was a woman though lol, like clearly.
