>Then you disagree with the most basic principle of social life.
No. I disagree with your interpretation of the principles of social life.
It is not an obligation. It is a social curtesy and etiquette, but it is not a mandated requirement. Believing that it is, is naive at best, and completely disregards the reality of social situations.
>You’re just assuming this
I’m not. I’m drawing that conclusion from personal experience. So are other people. My experience even encompasses all sides of the interactions, so I more or less can say I have a somewhat deeper understanding, or at least empathy, of the psychologies involved when it comes to both parties.
>Wait until they do it
In almost any other context, this is a fucking unintelligent stance.
If someone is coming at you with a knife, you don’t wait until they stab you to shoot them.
If someone is polluting the environment, you don’t wait until the eco system is fucked to respond.
If someone is repeatedly idling about a schoolyard, you don’t wait until a child goes missing to report it.
If someone is doing poorly in school, you don’t wait until they fail to start to help them.
Proactively responding is a natural and logical line of thought. It’s not always warranted, but it’s also not unreasonable, especially when personal safety is involved.
>believing that a whole gender is so full of assholes
As far as I’m aware, I did not call out all men I specifically called out the type of people who get so “riled up” (aka butt hurt) about the subject.
I’m done responding to you because on top of refusing to acknowledge that any other viewpoint exists, you’re the type that likes to pick lines out to pick fights with, disregarding the context and what was actually said
To remind you: I agree that ghosting is wrong. But it’s not unfounded behavior. Stop acting so entitled. As I said earlier, throwing tantrums about it does nothing but reinforce the reasoning.
