Not to blow my own trumpet but I think of myself as quite witty and when someone is rude to me I normally have a comeback ready. However I have found myself in groups of men where one is clearly an overt misogynist and will be rude to me in front of the others, who then often stay quiet or stare awkwardly at the floor. Would you say it's a good idea to make fun of that man in the moment and try to lightly humiliate him? Or could it backfire on you?
(These are groups that you can benefit from career-wise, and would like to maintain social connection with.)
I would look at the other men in the group like "can you believe this clown?"
Nothing annoys the misogynist more than seeing female attention go to another man.
