"I've learned how to roast and educate women simultaneously in their language: compliment them according to their gender rules"

A thread from your autistic office co-worker down the hall:
"I regularly offend my all-female team this way to watch them seethe at the consequences of their own protocols. I'm autistic; I fill an extra quota and am slightly more rational to offset the sea of estrogen, so big tech drools over me. I'm basically unfireable"
"For example, my least favorite coworker was extending our useless meeting for no fucking reason, so I told her that she and the token man in a dress we have to pretend isn't had the same cute hairstyle; with their strong features, they were like twins!"
"I watched her try and hide the raw hurt of being called an ugly she-man in her corporate safespace. I watched it slowly sink in, the confusion of knowing that feeling offended was against her beliefs. That the other NPCs were smiling enthusiastically and not refuting it"
"Maybe as she cried in the bathroom she questioned: Do I truly think trans women 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 if I feel insulted when compared to one? But probably not - I've never found that my female counterparts think very deeply when emotional."
"I bet she wondered if she could tell HR that a 'neurodivergent male' complimented her and a female representing coworker and made her uncomfortable (maybe). But what if I identified as 'non-binary' or 'bisexual'? You can't 𝘯𝘰𝘵 prove I am, right? Works all the time in comics"
"If you pay attention, you'll notice the subtle shock glossing a woman's eyes when you say something so hurtful, she will think about it on and off for the rest of her life"
"Something that really digs past all the constructed intricacies and stabs her in the natural-born insecurities of the femininity they betray constantly"
"We meet every week. I wonder if she will ever accept the fact that I told her to her face that she looks just like a hideous man, and watched as her NPC brain forced her to smile and thank me for it. But I rest easy knowing that there is absolutely nothing she can do about it"
When a tweet or thread catches on, I usually plug my site. But I just want my old account back, any eyes and ears on this is appreciated
