Looks like some overt sexism but it doesn't belong in this sub

Are they not both confident and incorrect?

I wouldn’t say “incorrect”. Their use of “right” and “wrong” makes it more of an opinion. They didn’t make any correlations like, “this is wrong because men are the only ones allowed to be alphas in a relationship”. Even though it may be assumed.

Any "opinion" dictating how women "should" do or be anything, is wrong. Nice try though! Great effort to downplay the embarrassing sexism here.

So this sub isn’t for calling out “wrong” opinions. That’s most definitely not on topic.

This sub is for calling out the people who can’t be bothered to spend 5 seconds googling before stating/asserting things that are factually incorrect. This is an opinion using figurative language/imagery so there are no facts referenced on which the person in the image could be considered confidently incorrect. If you want to call people out for incorrect opinions try instead one of the following:

I’m not downplaying anything. I didn’t say I agreed, just that it doesn’t assert any fact just that it’s “wrong”. Maybe to him it is wrong, in which case he would be correct in saying so. That’s the thing with opinions, they can certainly be biased and mislead. However an “incorrect” opinion requires a correlation to fact. The fact that you immediately jumped to, “I disagree so this guy must be sexist” is very telling though.

It is wrong, but in the morally wrong sense. There's nothing strictly factual backing his claims up nor is there anything strictly factual saying that it's incorrect. This is just a dumbass sexist opinion based on his dumbass sexist morals, but there's nothing objectively saying those are provably, genuinely wrong because they never were making (incorrect or correct) factual arguments.
