That constitutes as 'bullying' in my eyes.

So if a communist walks into one of my conversations to talk to me about communism, they are "poisoning me with their nonsense," and thus they are "bullying" me? I don't think so. People aren't "bullying" people for seeking to discuss opposing viewpoints. That's nonsensical hyperbole. Now, was she rude when she demanded eye contact? Absolutely! When people are rude, is it correct to get into their face and scream at them? Absolutely not.

He reminded me of one of those ghetto chicks who act all "UT UH, AW NO YOU DIT-INT," and wag their fingers around and shake their head in your face.

He wasn't even reacting to her comment about how he depicts women as being brainless or stupid. He was reacting to her insistence that he make eye contact with her, and his reaction was embarrassing. No educated, intelligent, worthwhile male...(or woman!) should ever respond to rudeness like a barbarian monkey. This is not a good example of the way men should fight the bias or the stereotype held against them. If anything, he's only reinforced negative male stereotypes: Stupid, loud, aggressive, hot-headed, incapable of controlling his rage, threatening...

This is a terrible example of how worthwhile men should act. He shouldn't be applauded.

Had he responded with something the lines of, "excuse me, you're rude and absolutely inappropriate. I'd like for you to get away from me; I am not your child, and you don't have the right to order me to place my eyes anywhere."

I'd say, "Way to go Mr. Rogan! You totally handled that like a boss!"

His acting like a grunting ape is shameful, and shouldn't be utilized as a paragon of good behavior.

If they try to shovel it in your face like this person did, then yes, I would consider it bullying.

He wasn't even reacting to her comment about how he depicts women as being brainless or stupid. He was reacting to her insistence that he make eye contact with her, and his reaction was embarrassing.

He was reacting to a lot of things. Her bullying him with her biased nonsense, her telling him to 'look into his eye', her threatening him...

This is not a good example of the way men should fight the bias or the stereotype held against them. If anything, he's only reinforced negative male stereotypes: Stupid, loud, aggressive, hot-headed, incapable of controlling his rage, threatening...

Oh, please. I love the 'threatening' one, as if she didn't 'threaten' him first. If you didn't notice, she was the one putting her hands on him first and making threatening remarks. He just told her that if she was going to make threatening remarks, than she should just "do it". Which she refused and he called her out for it. This is hardly 'threatening'. Good for him for pushing her away and not putting up with her bullshit. Sure, I agree with you that he could've handled it better but it's always nice to see somebody put some feminist coward in her place. Once again, if you disagree then that's your prerogative.

Had he responded with something the lines of, "excuse me, you're rude and absolutely inappropriate. I'd like for you to get away from me; I am not your child, and you don't have the right to order me to place my eyes anywhere."

Well, you're right. This would've been a better reaction (assuming she didn't put her hands on him afterwards like in this video). Either way, I find arguing over this sort of redundent since this isn't a very big MR issue.
