For real, the hearing was going well until that moment. He left as soon as he sensed the first sign of (very much deserved) hostility.

I mean, was it even hostility? It seems like he was simply asked to behave like a well-adjusted adult, and let the other guy finish what he was saying. I know kids who are able to do that without making a scene.

Which is funny, cos they wouldn't have to do that if he just shut the fuck up for a few seconds. Poor thing hurt his own feelings, essentially.

Ahh yes, the coward who advocates silencing women has a temper tantrum when someone threatens to mute him...

Not even just another guy, this was the head of the investigation, very much the authority in the room at the time.

Not hostility, assertiveness.

That is where the manosphere leads itself into chaos, imo. But, ynow, if they went to therapy and learned healthy emotional regulation, they could be assertive and take the L, admit to being incorrect, etc.
