That’s because it’s a straw-man. Unless someone has serious social deficiencies, this doesn’t happen. The experience is 99% ignore, 0.9% might get “like your shirt”, or “cool band”, 0.1% some weirdo - who would have found something else anyway if it wasn’t your shirt.
It’s a type of negging. I can guarantee you women wearing band shirts riding a subway, at a bar, etc, have been asked this kind of question with negative ulterior motives.
The post doesn't make any sense unless you already know that this is a trope passed around by organized manipulators. It sounds like it could be excused as friendly smalltalk from a fellow fan wanting to connect.
social deficiencies like "being a raging misogynist to the point that literally anything a woman does is percieved as lying in some way?
because those guys are everywhere, and they do shit like this all the time. in this very thread even.
