The only time I've ever given a shit about the nuances of f*male anatomy is when I was doing a hard guro/vore RP where I needed to remember how to spell the parts of her reproductive system that my character was eating.
I was waiting for a rideshare at the airport when a freshman in college starting chatting with me to pass the time. I asked him what he was studying and he said that he was studying computer science, specifically cyber security, because his uncle is going to set him up with six figure job as soon as he graduated with A's and B's. I congratulated him and told him to chase his dreams. He never bothered asking what I do. But he couldn't resist telling me that he was also taking history courses as electives, but mostly because you know, its college and most of the teachers and students are liberals and he likes to mess with them because he "leans right." I joked, "oh, because you know you're wrong?" He name dropped Ben Shapiro and Milo Yiannopoulos because like many right wing white males, they think all other white males think exactly like them.
So when I said, "I am troubled by the ideas of nationalist alt-right provocateurs like Milo Yiannopoulos because I find those ideas linked to fascism." This kid cut me off and told me the "leftists are fascist because they don't let us speak!" So I said, "am I letting you speak? I haven't even really told you what I am or what I do..." There was zero reflection in him that I could tell. He went on to describe the evils of socialism and communism and how the Soviet Union was bad so Bernie Sanders will destroy America and that rich people deserve their money and taxation is theft and so on. So I asked, "is it actually true most rich people work hard for their money or do they work smart for it and use their connections and the opportunities afforded to them to maximize their profits?" He said, "No! I'm sure some inherit their wealth, but most of them work hard for it and the government shouldn't steal it!"
I didn't have time to tell him that his A's and B's in Computer Science to land a six figure job out of college provided by his rich uncle undermines his line of thinking. Meanwhile, I admittedly could have made use of similar connections and opportunities to make money, but instead chose to work hard, graduate with a masters with a 3.91 GPA, and go into teaching high school history, not because it is lucrative, but because I'm passionate about the subject and I want to make a difference and teach critical thinking. I wished him good luck, told him to keep his ears open to what the teachers and other students were saying and to branch out from his echo chamber, but I still wish him happiness and success.
This individual and many like him must be consciously gaslighting and/or unrelentingly cognitively dissonant. For the older viewers of Fox News television, I think it's more cognitive dissonance and lack of critical thinking and racism. For younger people like this college kid, I think its more of this right-wing online echo chamber-fueled faux machismo. But it could also just be simply hateful stupidity. You can never count out stupid.
I got too lazy to stop writing, I just needed to get this out.

My teacher showed me that too, but you reminded me of when for some reason my English teacher showed us footage of monks burning themselves alive in protest.
Like Japan, and what, you imbecile? The Co-Prosperity sphere?
they view being wrong as an opportunity to learn ad become better at something, but there's also a very deep cultural value of "Don't speak out of turn / outside of your field of expertise / contribute when it helps society not for your own reputation".

He's trying to make this a thing. Don't indulge him or he'll think he can actually make something a copypasta.
