OP relates a story, told to her by her boyfriend and father of her 16-month-old daughter, of a visit to a pediatrician gone awry.
In summary, the little girl needed her diaper changed, boyfriend took her to the bathroom, and a woman said "I can't believe they're going to let that man take that little girl in there by himself and nobody's going to say anything about it!" "My boyfriend snapped and shouted at her that it was his daughter and she needed a new diaper. He also "asked" her to stop sexualizing his toddler and called her a "fucked up, self-righteous, pedophile cunt"." The receptionist shut down the woman's complaint, but then later told the boyfriend his language was out of line. But.. was it?
Here's for your bingo cards!
Is being called a cunt just as bad as being called a child molester?
If someone reacts so strongly, does that make him MORE suspicious?
SRS! This comment gets linked to SRS, prompting backlash from OP and others.
Drama over the term "resting bitch face".
Is it okay to repeatedly use the word 'cunt' in TwoXC?
Then, of course, downvotes aplenty for people who think the boyfriend was in the wrong for overreacting.

Jesus Christ, that so happened.
You know, I do believe that men are sometimes wrongly hit with the pedophile card by helicopter parents. But when you have this elaborate story about how you called someone a cunt and flipped the fuck out, you look like a goddamn asshole. You also look exactly like you're manufacturing a highly emotional event that aligns with your highly emotional opinions about a certain matter to justify your own overwrought persecution complex.
Ever since it was defaulted, there's been a lot of special snowflake "I ain't no feminist" drama in 2XChromosomes. They should start putting their fanfiction on shitty image memes.
Edit: hey thanks, kind person, who gave me an inbox full of the word CUNT and nothing else. I'll consider your incredibly eloquent counterpoint with all due haste and all the gravity it deserves.
This doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in the story.
So she cross-posts it to /r/mensrights for approval and also states
>Also, I have no problem with the word cunt. I'm from the US but I'm still a fan.
Why am I not surprised?
Yeah, lady, I care about men's issues too. But I don't look to /r/mensrights for their approval, and I don't pretend that the usage of the word cunt isn't almost always highly misogynistic in the United States.
What makes you say it's made up, this is one of the more believable things I've seen.
The OP has history so it isn't some one day old account and they have posted in TwoX before so it's not some person going there for the sake of trolling.
Also I would say that dude comes of less of an asshole than the woman in that story.
The only thing that really argues against it being real is that she's relying on her boyfriend's word. Who's to say he didn't react in some other way and he told his fantasy reaction to her? But then why would he admit he reacted so over-the-top? There's no real way to know either way.
I would say the thing that argues against it being real more is that it's on the internet. Plenty of people are honest in relationships so maybe he just told her the truth.
>But then why would he admit he reacted so over-the-top?
To show how angry/upset/offended he was. Cursing at and demeaning someone is pretty common in revenge fantasies.
But I absolutely agree with you here:
>There's no real way to know either way.
I think it's based on a thing that happened but is exaggerated.
Who knows dude, it's not anything too farfetched so I say we just take this at face value.
Well, first off, I never take things on reddit at face value.
The language she uses is very typical of things that end up on /r/thathappened; she wasn't there but she knows every detail of the encounter and never once answers a question with either "I don't know, I wasn't there" or "I asked my boyfriend and he said XYZ". Everything is slightly extreme and convenient: the nurses always compliment their parenting style, he didn't curse in front of other people's children because the pediatrician was only seeing teenagers that day, the villain of the story loudly criticizes a stranger in front of an audience that sided with the hero (via snide remarks and rude glances at the hero), and there is no gray area, everyone in the room either is totally on OP's boyfriend's side OR thinks he is a pedophile.
On that last point, in real life, if two people started loudly yelling at each other about pedophilia and dropping cursewords in a pediatrician's office, most people would not take sides, they would act like there were two crazy people accusing each other of pedophilia, not look at either of them, and stay the fuck out of it.
This comment gave me déjà vu.
I probably need to reddit less.
What did it give you deja vu to?
Oh do you mean this sounds like a lot of stories on reddit? Yeah...
> Oh do you mean this sounds like a lot of stories on reddit? Yeah...
No, I mean it seriously gave me déjà vu. I felt strongly that I had read (the first half of) that story & that it was written by you. I also expected a particular reply, but that part wasn't right. Do other people get that with déjà vu? Where everything conforms to what you expect for a short while but then wildly deviates as soon as you get a déjà vu feeling?
Do you take all the "I was harassed by my boss!" stories posted on TwoX at face value? Most of those sound crazy exaggerated too. Do you take beanfiddler's story about someone spamming her with CUNT messages at face value?
Before I read things on reddit, I assume that there is a good chance they are lying regardless of the topic. If you could link to a "My boss harassed me!" story, I could tell you whether I think it's true or not. Beanfiddler's comment is not a story, so it's not the same, but sure, I'd say there's about a chance that it happened, a slightly larger chance that someone PMed her something that was insulting but did not say cunt, and a smaller chance that it didn't happen at all.
Again, I do really think this is based on a true story and that someone accused this woman's boyfriend of pedophilia, and think that's horrible, but is exaggerated because people exaggerate when they have an audience.
Well, at least I can prove that one.
Sorry you're getting downvoted, it's probably because you're not calling out the user by name, but I think that's also not allowed so ... impasse.
I'm not doxxing people to prove a point on the internet. It's probably a troll account anyway. They barely have positive karma, and their entire frontpage of comments is downvoted.
that's not doxxing
This is precisely how I felt when I read the story. Like it's either exaggerated to the point that it's a lie, or it's a lie.
Yeah, I mean, as I said elsewhere, I have been on the receiving end of more than a couple pedophile accusations - one was even my homophobic uncle when I offered to babysit his grandson, for fuck's sake - but I just can't picture to people yelling in a pediatrician's office about pedophilia and the c-word without both of them getting labelled as "crazy as fuck". Like, he literally accused her of pedophilia in response. It's just not a normal or smart move.
I do think it happened, just on a smaller degree.
One of my best friends (gay man) lost his job over a pedophilia accusation. I'm not in child care anymore, but I worried about it too. Not that it happens as much to lesbians, but still.
If someone dude was mad enough to yell out cunt enough when someone wrongfully accused him of pedophilia, why would he turn around and accuse someone else of it? And why would anyone take his side? Hell, why would anyone take the other woman's side? And of course the person that accused him was a woman. Of course. Plenty of men drink the same "men interested in child care are pedophiles" kool-aid.
If it happened, I'm going to go with some dude saw a woman talking under her voice to a woman next to her and gestured in his general direction. He assumed she said something nasty, got real mad about it, and went home and made a cool revenge story about he totally showed that bitch.
It's wonderful how you always have a relevant story in this sub. You've worked with lawyers (less than a year ago), at childcare facilities, in retail currently, have a degree in...political science (or was it law?) I think, have gay friends who were fired over pedophile accusations, and a whole lot of other stories that conveniently back you up on practically any social issue you bring up.
If I didn't know better I'd say you are making all or most of this up. But I'm sure that all of it is true, beyond you working in retail.
it's really not that hard to acquire a diverse set of experiences and acquaintances, you just go outside and talk to people
There's this wacky idea that people tend to be interested in things that have some sort of relation to their life. So, I like, comment on stuff I can relate to. Big surprise there.
And it's philosophy. I have a degree in philosophy. I dropped out of law school.
I don't know how old you are or where you live, and I don't think you're making this accusation blindly, but I live in New York and I'm 30 and I have a lot of people who are like this. I myself have been in a few different careers, but was lucky enough to end up in television for the last four years. However, my closest friend from high school? Jesus! She's worked as a waitress, at a deli, at a department store, at a stationary/general store, at a drug store, at a pizza shop, as a bookkeeper, as a nanny, at an art museum, as an editor of our local newspaper, and now she works in marketings. She's definitely the most prolific example, at 28, but I do think some people just have a wide range of experience. I would bet /u/beanfiddler makes less than other people her age from hopping around.
I guess, I'm just going to trust them on this one. It's not going to cost me anything to do so and it's not something really bizarre.
Also the boyfriend does get told to watch the language by the manager so there is your grey area.
Eh, I think the extremeness of it is bizarre. I feel like people are downvoting me because they are assuming I agree that it never happened, which is again not what I am saying. All I think is that the woman or her boyfriend exaggerated when they told the story. As a gay dude, I have absolutely had people accuse me of crazy stuff when kids are around, so I'm not doubting that someone said something.
And yeah, the receptionist does but only when people who think he's a pedophile complain to the receptionist. She doesn't do it right after he drops the c-word in a pediatrician's waiting room.
There is a chance it's exaggerated sure, but the main facts will likely remain the same and they are the important parts. Also you're on the wrong side of the jerk in this thread, it sucks but that's reddit, go against the current jerk and you get downvoted because who cares about discussion.
I don't know if the facts remain the same - I don't think that the world is as amped up about this sort of thing as reddit is. In the OP's story, it sounds like everyone is either on the side of the OP or the side of the lady and even the receptionist is slanted to have an opinion. A lot of times, these sorts of exaggerations also make it so that the "villain", ie the person who pissed off OP, has less ground to stand on and so that the "hero" has less to be criticized on. That's why I look for these inconsistencies, really.
Also, sorry, looks like we somehow flipped in the jerk a little. I'm being downvoted elsewhere (on week old posts even!) but now am upvoted here, and you're bearing the brunt of it. Ah well.
Because absolutely every routine office or place of business I can think of, you'd get thrown out for yelling and calling someone a cunt. You wouldn't get a righteous lecture about your naughty language, you'd just be asked to leave... with the implication that if you don't, the police are going to get called.
Well I'm pretty such they did say that it wasn't acceptable but I guess they understood his anger because that person implied that he was going to molest his own daughter. So they say "yeah dude not ok" and let it slide.
Eh, that's not really my experience. Even when someone super fucks up, yelling and aiming obscenity at an employee is a one-way ticket to GTFO Town. Even if it's warranted, there's a standard of public behavior everyone has to uphold in a private business, and yelling and calling people cunts ain't it.
I mean... not necessarily. It depends completely on who is there and what their personality is like. I got cursed at occasionally for stupid things ("Why the fuck isn't my fucking order ready? You lazy fucks can't get anything right!" when their order was two minutes late) when I worked in fast food. Some managers kicked them out immediately, some tried to calm them down, some apologized to them and offered free food.
Hell, I had a guy literally grab me by the throat and try to pull me over the counter because I wouldn't sell him beer without an ID. The manager just watched it on camera. One of the guys from the kitchen had to come pull the guy off me and tell him to get out.
I also suspect that this kind of thing doesn't happen often in a doctor's office, so probably no one really knew how to react or was used to confrontation.
Not that I'm saying it absolutely happened, I have no idea and don't really have a stake in it. Just sayin'.
The administrator at my office worked in a doctor's office previously. According to her this kind of insanity happened all the time. I have definitely seen people screaming and fighting in the waiting room as well.
That's fucked up. Those managers you worked for were huge assholes.
Still, I can't imagine a waiting room full of people acting like jurors and taking sides. More like a waiting room full of people shifting uncomfortably in their chairs, waiting for the crazy people to stop being crazy.
Was the person being cussed at an employee, though? I might be tired and misreading the thread...But it read to me as if it was just someone else waiting to see the doctor who thought it was inappropriate for a father to take his daughter to a diaper change.
Of course, this is all with the caveat of "if this actually happened, then..." :p
I didn't read it closely, I thought it was one of the office staff? Anyways, doesn't really matter. Every place I've worked at would throw you out even if you were getting all loud and belligerent at another customer.
>Our daughter needed her diaper changed so he asked the receptionist where the bathroom was. While walking towards it, some woman made a comment loud enough for very one of the dozen plus people in the waiting room and the receptionist to hear.
You're probably right about throwing people out, though. Working in retail, I can say that there are probably exceptions to the rule, however. I mean...I've certainly had obnoxious customers where I wished I could tell them off :p but since I like to have work, I don't.
Maybe the retail store I work for is the except to the rule. We put up with a lot of bullshit before we start chucking people. I'm pretty sure, though, that loud utterances of "cunt" would probably get you shown the door.
I've also worked in places around a lot of kids. Not a pediatrician's office, more like summer camps and stuff like that. I would think that naughty language would get you extra special attention as some malcontent that needs to leave. I saw staff members given disciplinary plans for saying "shit" around pre-teens and teenagers.
It's all pretty much theoretical to me, too. Working retail for 6 years, I can remember maybe once or twice where we've had to kick someone out of the store. At least one of them was "just" for being an annoying drunk (they weren't being loud, just annoying o_o).
>I've also worked in places around a lot of kids. Not a pediatrician's office, more like summer camps and stuff like that.

I saw staff members given disciplinary plans for saying "shit" around pre-teens and teenagers.
I can't really speak to that. I started on the education to become a kindergarden teacher (or whatever you call those in english speaking countries), and one of the first places I interned was in the nice part of town...And the kids cussed like you wouldn't believe o_o
I found out pretty fast that working with kids wasn't something I'd enjoy. Was fun interning in the poor part of town and seeing that all those kids were extremely well-behaved, though :p
"See, my anecdotal evidence is true. Their anecdotal evidence is not. Plus, the story doesn't fit with my preconceived notions of a black and white world, ergo this story never happened."
If I'm being honest, yeah, that's why I think it's fake.
Have you read some of the retail tales and what not posted? Employes get yelled at all the time.
Also it wasn't an employee it was just some woman in the waiting room. Also I'd say accusing people of being pedos is worse public behavior wise but that's just me.
Well, yeah, it's worse public behavior. But that's not usually how policy works. They don't pay people enough to deal with a weird situation and figure out who's at fault. Usually, policy is to just kick people out. I've never worked anywhere where that's not the policy, even if the management is crappy and pulls the "customer is always right" sort of thing to browbeat us on a regular basis.
Well I'm pretty sure the policy can be let slide. I've seen people swear and shout in stores and it has been let slide by the management. It really depends if they are calming down or not.
And you must have some great management if they kick people out that easy rather than letting them swear at staff until they get what they want.
this is a pediatrician's office, i have a feeling they're not going to be super tolerant of people calling people cunts and pedophiles at the top of their lungs
My management's policy is that only they are allowed to yell and curse at us. You can also be a total belligerent fuck and all around disgusting waste of space so long as you don't cause a scene or use naughty language.
That's a sucky policy if they see arguing among customers and rude words worse than yelling at staff. But whatever, you can't say that where you work is the same as every where else in any given scenario.
> But when you have this elaborate story about how you called someone a cunt and flipped the fuck out, you look like a goddamn asshole.
A father berates someone who accused him of being a pedophile without basis, and he's the asshole? Yeah no.
And elaborate? Woman accuses him of being a pedophile, he calls her a cunt, most people are on his side but a couple of woman call him out for his language. In no way is that an "elaborate" story. Seems pretty god damn simple.
You don't have to take sides. It can be wrong to tell someone they're a pedophile AND wrong to tell someone they're a cunt.
It doesn't have to be one or the other.
Context. If you accuse a father of pedophilia towards his own child there are very few things you could say towards that person that they wouldn't deserve. She was being a cunt. So she got called a cunt.
> wrong to tell someone they're a cunt.
you're right, she's even worse than a cunt, should've said something even more vicious
Man, this isn't a bar. It's a public place of business. Every single place I've worked, you'd be asked to get out or someone's going to call the police if you yell and call someone a cunt. Doesn't matter why, even if the person deserved it. That's practically the first thing that they cover in basic training in any customer service job. Someone gets real mad, starts yelling, and calls you names? Call the on-duty manager, and they'll defuse the situation, throw them out on their ass, and ask them to never come back.
>Every single place I've worked, you'd be asked to get out or someone's going to call the police if you yell and call someone a cunt.
And I've seen people customers yell and scream and still get what they want. I've seen managers or employees ask customers to calm down or they will be forced to leave. He was obviously not a danger to anyone, and nearly everyone else there was on his side. So why do anything besides tell him to calm down?
Policies from where you've worked are only anecdotal evidence, and for every example of a policy that makes this event "impossible" I can find one that makes it plausible.
>Someone gets real mad, starts yelling, and calls you names?
It was fight between two customers, not a customer berating an employee. It's entirely plausible whoever was working there simply asked the two of them to calm down as opposed to immediately throwing them both out.
Well, then, I misread. Still, then the policy basically everywhere I've worked, or knew people that worked there, was to throw both people out. Starting with whomever is being loudest, sounds angriest, and calling attention to themselves.
Depends on the venue, though. At a bar, calling someone a cunt and getting confrontational would probably generally get you a "calm down, dude" sort of response. At a pediatrician's office in front of kids? Yeah, that would be a hardline GTFO.
Like I've said elsewhere, that's a pediatrician's office where there's undoubtedly children around. I'd think that the general policy for that sort of place is doesn't matter who does what, let's not yell and curse.
But that's not really the crux of my instinct that it's fanfiction. It's a second-hand story that panders to a specific reddit boogeyman, and involves a total overreaction in front of children that kind of implies that that sort of thing happens all the time, and some brave dude was just standing up for himself in the face of bullshit he has to deal with every day.
It's all way too convenient, from top to bottom.
>At a pediatrician's office in front of kids? Yeah, that would be a hardline GTFO.
The OP stated there were no kids there.
>Like I've said elsewhere, that's a pediatrician's office where there's undoubtedly children around.
School hasn't started yet. Entirely possible if not likely there's no smaller children around.
>But that's not really the crux of my instinct that it's fanfiction. It's a second-hand story that panders to a specific reddit boogeyman,
If that were the case the OP would have posted it to MensRights, not the sub where people are guaranteed to jump on the OP's boyfriend's use of the word cunt.
Besides, you could say the same about posting any other gendered drama to Twox. Do you doubt the validity of stories posted in Twox where a woman was harassed? Because such stories most certainly reinforce that sub's particular "bogeyman".
>It's all way too convenient, from top to bottom.
The OP has a history within the sub and across Reddit. Why would they suddenly make this up?
I don't know why people start shit on the internet. Because they can? There's a lot of fanfiction in subs like 2X that pander to the circlejerk. Like I highly doubt that every person that comes out of the woodwork to talk about how they've seen someone get roofied and raped is 100% telling the truth. I even doubt that they're all girls.
When 2X was made a default, there was a huge influx of drama of stories and ramblings that defied the usual 2X party line in favor of reddit's favorite frontpage circlejerks. There was a girl who got gilded some dozen times for calling everyone in 2X whiny because she didn't believe in sexism. The whole set up of this post, how she says she didn't believe that sort of thing happens, but now she does... it smells like pandering for karma.
People say whatever a subreddit is going to reward with upvotes. 2X has a reputation of recently hosting a lot of top level OPs that counter their usual jerk and get massive attention. This looks like just another person on that karma train.
You know, maybe it's true. But it's awfully fucking convenient.
If it was just to start shit I doubt it would be on a main account.
Maybe. We've seen plenty of people here on SRD start drama on their mains.
I mean, I do it all the time.
Yeah but not if they plan to post in the same place again and be accepted by the same group.
>Like I highly doubt that every person that comes out of the woodwork to talk about how they've seen someone get roofied and raped is 100% telling the truth. I even doubt that they're all girls.
Well about 95% of the people who think they are roofied end up being wrong, so you're probably right about that.
> There was a girl who got gilded some dozen times for calling everyone in 2X whiny because she didn't believe in sexism.
I get the impression it might be a little more nuanced than that. Although Twox is whiny, from what I've seen.
>The whole set up of this post, how she says she didn't believe that sort of thing happens, but now she does... it smells like pandering for karma.
Like I said. If this was just a karma grab she could go to better places.
>You know, maybe it's true. But it's awfully fucking convenient.
Frankly I don't see anything especially implausible about it.
You think it's "fanfictiction" because you are biased.
Yeah. I'll freely admit that when I see a reddit post along the usual circlejerks about how police are evil, ex-wives are money-grubbing whores, everyone thinks men are pedophiles, feminism is terrible, black people like to "chimp out," and shit like that, I usually think one of two things:
Sometimes I misfire on that second point. I'm not too worked up about it. Nobody's going to die because someone rando anonymous commenter thinks they're full of shit if whatever they post is too pandering.
Hey, at least you admit it.
I'm doing this thing where I say stuff, and even if nobody agrees, I try not to get mad about it.
Yeah that can be hard.
that's not even a normal place of business, it's a goddamn pediatrician's office. if there's anywhere they're not going to let that fly, it's going to be at a place that by definition is full of children.
Conveniently, there were no children around except for OP's.
what a coinkydink. that sure is lucky for him, and totaly explains why everyone it that pediatrician's office was more or less cool with him calling someone a pedophile cunt. consider my disbelief fully suspended.
> Man, this isn't a bar. It's a public place of business.
...A bar isn't a public place of business?
Special rules apply when your business caters to drunks.
And doctors cater to sick people. Imagine if someone had a waiting room breakdown and was asked to leave before their child saw their doctor - who is liable if the child's well being is compromised?
I am also skeptical that this happened, and that it happened in the exact way reported by OP here. But to me the real buttery part is that the #14 post OF ALL TIME on /r/TwoXChromosomes is a story about a man being treated poorly because of his gender. They should just rename TwoX /r/WhatAboutTheMen.
Which is kind of my point. Since being defaulted, these stories about men being treated badly and women speaking out about how they're not oppressed by sexism have rocketed to the frontpage of the sub, and all of reddit.
Sure, maybe it's true. But it's super convenient.
I agree with you. This looks fake as hell. And why the fuck post it to TwoX of all places? I just don't get it. It's not really a woman's issue. I mean it sucks that it happens. But this is the biggest reddit boogeyman of them all.
My boyfriend has gone all over the place alone with his nephew and no one's said anything.
It would be a woman's issue if someone started a thread about how shy their male partner is about expressing how much he enjoys being a father, because people demean men who take interest in stereotypical female roles, sometimes to the point of accusing them of being pedophiles (based on the sexist notion that men cannot be interested in anything unless it has something to do with sex). Then it's about the female-male gender role duality, and how strict gender roles hurt everyone.
But this is just fanfiction.
Yeah I agree with you on that one. Maybe, maybe a woman expressed that she was uncomfortable with him going to the bathroom with her. It probably happened. But either her or her boyfriend made up this elaborate story about a yelling woman and her friends.
Oh boy anecdotal evidence! The best kind!
Oh boy butting in with obnoxious comments.
Because your sample size of 1 contributes so much more.
WTF? How have you been so downvoted?
Come on, people, this is faker than a stack of Burger King pies. It did not happen.
I thought SRD had some discernment?
It could easily be an exaggerated retelling of events, but yeah, it didn't happen like that. If it all.
Because apparently yelling "cunt" in public at someone is a totally normal thing that people do, and it's totally normal, so nobody's going to react strongly.
I have no idea if this story is true or not. I think reddit super-exaggerates the whole "men around kids" thing, and this fits it perfectly, so I too am doubtful. I'm currently a stay at home dad and I've taken care of little kids constantly and MAYBE once experienced even a minor negative reaction (all while probably looking slightly sketchy being overweight with long hair).
That said, if someone made a comment about me being a potential pedophile for taking care of my kid, my gut reaction would probably be to hit them - I'd hope I could control myself and just yell at them instead, but noone has ever said something so horrible to me before so I really don't know. Someone yelling cunt seems perfectly believable to me.
From a physicians office point of view, both might be fired as patients, but medical folks are used to people yelling (either during their training or job) and bad language, so I'm not inclined to think the yelling guy would be any worse off than the woman who made the scene to begin with by pseudoaccusing a patient's parent of pedophilia for no reason - in all likelihood she'd be more likely to be let go than he would be, if anyone was. Both would definitely be talked to though.
All the other folks joining in and taking sides is the one thing that really sounds fishy (other than the initial comment even happening, of course). Most people try not to get involved in anything, especially if their is yelling involved.
So basically, the rest of the story (swearing and family practice office responses) seems fairly believable, but I sort of doubt it happened anyway.
Reddit morality tales.... they're real if you want them to be... often real enough to pop popcorn.
I don't know why you're being treated so harshly, the story is very obviously just made up revenge porn. It's weird to see a sub like this take the bait so hard.
Yeah if you check OPs post history it's pretty clear this was a troll post pandering to the mens rights crowd for karma. And it worked!
> You also look exactly like you're manufacturing a highly emotional event that aligns with your highly emotional opinions about a certain matter to justify your own overwrought persecution complex.
Are we talking about redditors, feminists, the fat-acceptance movement...? You'll have to be more clear, because this seems to apply to all of them, all the time.
I'd say any event that persuades someone to stand up and yell cunt at someone in public is a pretty hysteric overreaction.
This is literally the first time I've ever downvoted you. Breaks my heart.
