How about treating people like adults and maybe with some openness and honesty as well as a measure of consideration and respect for a change? Just come from a constructive place. Empty platitudes ring pretty hollow.

Being treated as an adult requires that you can handle feedback like an adult, which a lot of people over 18 can not.

If I had an euro for every time a person I've met immediately took negative feedback personally I could eat out way more.

Your wife charges you?

Most women are happy to let a dude do it for free.

No wonder you’re upset.

I thought it was funny and gave you an upvote. I think the sub you’re on might be an issue when trying to make an oral sex joke unfortunately.

What does sex have to do with the drivel you just spouted?

Or do people not know “eating out” is a euphemism for oral sex?

Y’all are weird.

Quite literally has nothing to do with "making a sandwich" The joke is about "eating out"

Youre trying so hard to see sexism in places it doesnt exist that youve become a caricature of yourself.
