A:
It's not a big deal or anything, but you remember when you said that "Mark cried like a girl" last night?
B:
Haha, yeah, he totally did.
A:
Yeah, well, I mean. That's kind of not nice, right? You're implying that women cry all the time, that we're weaker, or more emotional and less logical, or whatever. It's not a big deal, it's just been bugging me.
B:
No, I didn't mean it like that!
A:
No, I know
B:
I just meant it, like in a bad way. It didn't have anything to do with women or girls or whatever, I really just meant it as an insult.
A:
Yeah. Well. It's kind of insulting to US, right, as women, because we do actually cry as girls, or women. So now you're actually making this thing we do into an insult, which is kind of thoughtless towards us right?
B:
No, but it doesn't have anything to do with you guys! See? I meant it in a strictly derogatory manner!
A:
I think there's a miscommunication going on here.
B:
No, I don't think so.
A:
Really?
