The most likely scenario is that the person with first-hand knowledge misinterpreted the situation.

Exactly. Which is why I started with questions so you could explain more. That's how a conversation works and prevents it from getting toxic.

Oh, uh. I’m wondering if I laid the irony down too thick. I think the comment you originally replied to is probably correct. I think your questions are typical escape hatches for men to be blameless in any situation. I can imagine you didn’t mean them that way, but that’s what’s usually meant by them.
