“Did you hear that?!!! But I have a penis! A PENIS YOU HEAR? “ *hysterical yelling and wheezing*

(50+) Guy I sometimes run into at my local trainstation seems to be bothered by me simply existing in a public space. I don‘t know him but he made his distaste towards me clear on several occasions through facial expressions, staring etc. Recently he tried to out-macho me or something. Instead of boarding the train he announces “Ladies first!”, steps aside and points towards the open door of the waiting train (a thing you never (!)do unless you want pple fucking mad at you cause they‘re gonna be late). His smile mocking and his demeanor clearly over the top in order to humiliate me.

I, out of a reflex, stepped aside too bc maybe he meant an old lady waiting behind me? Nope, he meant me. I was pissed. An idea popped into my mind and slipped onto my tongue (my brain: oh no dude, my bitch, don’t). Before I could stop myself I looked him straight in the face and announced “Ladies first, okay then, go ahead!”.

He turned the colour of tomatoes and (after boarding) threw a top of the lungs yelling temper tantrum about him having a penis for everyone on the train to hear. I’ve never seen a grown ass man throw such a public fit.
