... does not reduce the woman to being “helpless”; she could react with anything from an eye roll to a panic attack and the unreasonableness of the prank would still exist.
Here’s the crucial bit for the idiots; when your partner dumps you, prank time is over, and any person who isn’t a fully paid up moron can see that inviting unwanted attention onto your ex is creepy abusive shit, and that doing so in a way that’s funny to other creep shits and idiots doesn’t make it more lighthearted, it just means that the creepy abusive dick is still convincing himself he’s a funny guy.
Always funny to see the knots people will twist themselves in to avoid saying anything as mundane as “that’s not on”

I still think that reducing this to toxic masculinity is missing a wider point, but I see now that I may have missed a finer point or two myself.
Good internetting, cheers.
