random rant from a guy via facebook message

[maynardsong]

So a guy writes this to me via facebook message and I don't for the life of me know why he did, but I'm pretty grossed out. I'm wondering what everyone here thinks.

Here's his message:
hah, if you could see my situation right now you would call me a complete patriarchal pig, and yet I'm confused and miserable and trying to at least keep 100%

Is this someone you actually know who sent this to you out of the blue, or is it just some random stranger?

I know the guy, he saw a post I'd put up on hookup culture and how the sexism, rather than the sex, is what screws women over. And...that...set him off on a rant?

I'm sorry but you post something ONLINE which is in some string or not public and are irritated if someone answers?

Sorry but if you don't want any response to something you have written you should stop publishing things and write an analog diary.

I don't want to sound mean but I'm always wondering why people don't realise that stuff they are doing on the internet is public.

Usually posting something on facebook etc. is to get a response from other people.

The thing I posted online was on hookup culture and how sexism affects girls. And his response wasn't as a comment to that post, it was in the form of a pm to me. And not to mention, not germane to what I'd originally posted.

Well, people can say whatever the heck they want in reply to what I write publicly. But if it's ignorant and steeped in privilege, I'll mention that. Freedom to reply to a facebook post (lol) doesn't mean freedom of being called out...
