Also, I unfortunately grew up with a family full of misogynists, amongst other bad mannerisms, so I know how they work. Assuming a "common decency" argument works on them is not going to work, you literally have to explain things like they're children. If you get angry at them, they immediately feel vindicated because a lot have the "If you're doing things right, you're making someone mad" mentality.

Please, please, please shut the fuck up with this, "well, if you're not polite to the pieces of shit, they'll keep being pieces of shit, you have to treat them with kid gloves if you want them to change" garbage. It has, is, and always will be a crock of shit. It is not the responsibility of the harassed or the oppressed to coddle the ones victimizing them.
