So why don’t men ask other men to smile, you may ask? Well, why the hell would they? Who the fuck cares if a man smiles?!

Because feminists believe in equality between the sexes, especially in the ways we are treated compared to men, they are asking why men aren’t as aggressive and creative with their tactics to speak to men and get them to do unnatural things like smile while they are busy dodging crowds to get to work on time. The question, “If it is so well-intentioned, why don’t men ask men to smile?” has been asked by feminists on Twitter and shared and reposted all over various social media platforms, but the answer is as plain as day:

Men and women are not the same.

Now am I insinuating that men should be so bold and brazen? Absolutely not. However, I am stating that men don’t have much choice, given that we hold power over them they will never admit. They acknowledge this power in the most annoying of ways. I mean, nobody goes out of their way to speak to people they believe are beneath them, correct? The way a crazed fan fawns over a celebrity when they see them in person is the way men see you, even if their conscious mind that has been bombarded with patriarchal conditioning cannot fathom this worship.
