Most of that was right, but some details were a little off. On national woman's day a few years ago, the hashtag "a day without women" was trending, and people were being encouraged to think about how bad things would be if all women everywhere did nothing on that day. The sensible way of looking at that would be "yeah, if 50 percent of everyone in the world refused to do anything all day, that would be pretty bad."
Colin made a joke on twitter that was basically "a day without women: ah, peace and quiet." His girlfriend didn't care, and likely gave the same eye-rolling chuckle than men give when people joke about the wife always being right or whatever.
Well to be fair, he did do something that would ether upset or alienate a lot of progressive liberals, and they demanded action. Kind of Funny distanced themselves from the comment immediately, but in doing so, none of them defended Colin as a person or as a friend. Clearly hurt by this, he was the one who chose to walk away.
