Males, is it good to call out women on their BS?

Question

I've heard "domestic issues" are up substantially, globally. This is a general question to get you to think about how to handle situations.

"I said, we should inject people with disinfectant and I want you to be the first!"

Women are very verbal and emotional. That means they will dig into you in ways you may not realize... emotionally. Men are used to being physical to address confrontation... at least a lot of men, some are better with words... like lawyers for example. But that doesn't mean we have good control of our emotions.

Example 1: say the woman is legit hurting your feelings by something she is saying... is it good to call her out on it? Or is it better to let it go and not make waves.

Example 2: she is absolutely wrong. How do you best handle that her perception of herself or situation is wrong? Do you listen, express your view, but accept hers?

This may reflect into your personality... if you like or reject conflict.

Of course domestic issues are up with people being crammed into confined spaces for weeks on end without any personal space, or work, or other contacts to diversify their energies and the fear and worry of the future on everyone's mind, so no wonder people are fighting! Physical abuse on both women and children is also way up, and child services and shelters are having to deal with an influx of cases. A certain amount of tolerance and understanding needs to be enacted here, with the realization that this terrible situation will at some point end, and when the stress levels go down, people should find equilibrium again.

But otoh, no matter what circumstances are happening, verbal and emotional abuse is never okay. So I'm a bit surprised that this is even a question. Of course women should be called out when they are not acting kind or reasonable or calm. Tell them, tell us. We all need reminding sometimes that we could handle things better, be it our own feelings and emotions or in the reaction to when others are not acting in their best light. Everyone can be wrong, everyone can make mistakes, everyone can do better.

For both examples I would just tell her you understand her point of view but you don't agree. You can empathize with her but that doesn't mean you feel the same.

Let's say she accused you of cheating.
You say, I understand that you are upset about thinking that I cheated. You feel like you know that I don't like you and that makes you angry. I don't cheat, and I do love you.

What's jesus's reaction? They call him demon possessed but he says he is not. Jesus's answer is that he is who he is. Not who they say he is.

Call her out on her shit and also say it's not okay to do what she is doing and why. if she pulls anything just say she did brick the situation and you're not gonna talk or be around her until she can behave in proper manner and are open to see what she really have done and are trying to do.
With other words that you can't take her seriously as long she is doing what she is doing (be specific what it is and what it causes) .

The thing is that you can handle their game and even outplay it both on a better level and their level if needed.
(they have problems with that and doesn't know how to handle it. very common they get chocked and freeze)

It's hard to give one-size-fits all advice for every situation. As a general rule though verbal confrontation with a woman never ends well for a man. If you can figure out what she's actually trying to achieve with her nonsense there can sometimes be a way of defusing the situation while still getting what you want.

Just tell her she’s hurting your feelings.

I think you should always tell your partner when there are conflicting ideas about the relationship, or something they're doing is making you feel uncomfortable. Violence is not OK, and for a relationship to work, both partners must be willing to talk things out. Women can be very manipulative with their emotions. If you feel like you aren't speaking your mind because you know it always leads to a bad argument where she seems to go crazy, then chances are you're being manipulated

Call her out on both situation. They are our equals, they don't need special treatment.  Women only bully men emotionally if they are evil, which may women aren't, and if men let them.

Only if you really don't give a s*** about the outcome. You have to understand women don't use logic, they use women logic. Ergo you're not you're not going to win. My advice, if you love her just smile and nod and let a lot go regardless of how wrong she is. If you don't love her, who gives damn what she thinks. Say whatever you like.
