      People are putting this on sexism or whatever, but I feel like this dude is just one of those confidently wrong people and would have said this to literally anyone disagreeing with him.

      I am a man, and an expert in my field, and I get people trying to condescend semi-regularly because they think they can handwave the problems I get paid to solve. Just completely unfounded confidence.

      I wonder [whether] he would have done the same thing talking to a man…

      I was entertained to see someone get their comeuppance.

      I was disappointed to see someone else immediately go sexist on the post.

      I am now doubly disappointed that we’re not better than that person, here.

      Sometimes an idiot is just an idiot. Leave room for people to grow into, okay?
