"Hey. We like him. What did he ever do to you?"

"Well, he's a sexist, and kind of ageist, too. I had an exchange with him that went on for 400 comments or something, in which he argued that by definition, I couldn't be attractive because I'm in my forties. It wouldn't bother me if he'd ever seen me, because I may not be his type—and I suspect I'm not. But the sight-unseen thing bugged me."

"Listen," Mr. Hoodie says. "His arguments can go up to 200 comments easily. But 400? He wants you bad."

"He's never seen me, though."

"Oh—like he really cares about that."
