Poor Josh is experiencing something that the average woman deals with from moids both IRL and online, and he wasn't socialized for it. We grew up finding out that we have to learn how to articulate anything even potentially inflammatory (including completely benign shit, such as just guessing how many rounds a CA mag is allowed to hold) as gently and noncommittal as possible to try to avoid the moid tardrage. If he thinks this is bad, at least he doesn't have to experience what it's like to disagree with rabid scrotes as a chick, especially on topics like relationships, general politics and women's rights. I remember when he was like that towards me on the Sneedcord before the on-air Dick Masterson incident, but I digress.
Men don't give a fuck about anything anyone else has to say, unless it's something they already agree with. No amount of advice or shared examples registers, and they can generally only learn anything through their own experiences, if that. I know this isn't the place to praise a 75% chromosome haver, but props to Josh for breaking the mold and gradually learning from a bombardment of observation to supplement his experiences, at least.
