There’s a certain kind of guy who, as far as I can tell, is being genuine about not understanding feminist fiction. He doesn’t get why the characters behave the way they do, and why they don’t just [X] where [X] is some thing that’s socially or even physically dangerous to do when dealing with sexists. He thinks the plots are implausible even when they seem to be based on the author’s life.

I’ve seen more than one guy like this, and I’m not sure what their deal is. I could say they lack experience, but I’ve understood a few feminist stories related to things I haven’t experienced, like catcalling. So I’m not sure what they’re missing or how to provide it.
