Made me think how good it was to see people, in what you would assume to be a stereotypically environment of toxic masculinity, could actually accept their friend and colleague for how she wanted to live her life and continue to have a good laugh with her.
Also made me think, if donsdaft was there with me, would he have gone through with his online bravado and stood there and openly "laugh(ed) and point(ed) at the weirdo". Or would he be a fearty like the gobby pathetic playground bully he is and have a rant once at a safe distance from her yardy colleagues.
