Yes, people of both genders pop up at events to hold forth on irrelevant things and conspiracy theories, but the out-and-out confrontational confidence of the totally ignorant is, in my experience, gendered.
“Tragedy often instructs in ways that happiness cannot.”

“What looked like a snap to other people was actually an erosion of the surfaces that we built up for protection, and unfortunately people would rather dwell on the snap than the wearing.”

“All I could see was a boy who claimed to need love and instead grew into a man who destroyed others trying to find it.”
― The Yahoo Boys: Real Life with the Love Scammers of Lagos

“She was an embodiment of the disorienting contradictions that trauma leaves behind.”

“I knew I risked shifting the focus from the victim to the perpetrator, but the story wasn't that simple. Western media had long pushed the idea of the defenseless, gullible victim being conned by a ruthless, heartless scammer. I believe that by showing the real face of the scammer and challenging those stereotypes, I could paradoxically restore the victim's humanity and our sense of responsibility toward them. The perpetrator, in many cases, was also a victim of a world that had failed them long before he picked up a phone.”
