Feminista Jones is a Philly-based author, feminist, activist and social media influencer. On Friday, after hearing tales from several women and mulling over her own personal experiences, she posed a bit of a challenge on Twitter.
When a man compliments you, agree with him. Simple enough.

Some people weren’t convinced that simple agreement would actually upset a man.

This supposed to piss men off? How? I'm forreal curious.

People tried to explain, but this is one of those “it’s easier to show you than to tell you” kind of things. The screenshots came pouring in.
Name-calling was a pretty common response.

Angrily negating the compliment was another common reaction.

Agreeing makes us a b*tch. Gr8 m8, indeed.
Why do they get so mad?
Because for some reason women are required to be beautiful, but also oblivious to it.

Is that how it’s supposed to work?
