Every time I see a big online sexism discussion that includes men, there's at least one man who takes it on himself to explain to the women that, see, sometimes men are just shy / socially awkward / not very observant / insecure. This is always presented as some fascinating revelation that will be completely alien to all the women in the discussion.

I want every woman who has never felt shy / socially awkward / not very observant / insecure to raise her hand. Right here, right now.

Okay, Galinda, put your hand down.

Newsflash: everyone who is past adolescence has felt that way at some point. It is not some unique male emotion.
