The need to make everything into a competition or to one-up any story or anecdote.

I know plenty of women who do the same

Were talking about the fellas, why even bring this up besides as some weird defensive thing?

[–] Pothetato@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I'd say because if we're trying to find things unique to guys it's relevant to point out when it isn't unique.

Oh yeah?? Well, when I fall overboard, I drown! (Because I can't swim)

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago
