This method of provocation was too blatant.
Truthfully, this sort of argument was less of a challenge and more reminiscent of the fallacious logic some girls resort to when they can't reason their way out of a situation.
If a boy fails to meet their expectations or resists their decision, they harshly label him "not a real man."
Yet they never consider that individuals differ, and faced with the same circumstances, different people might react differently.
The world does not revolve according to their fanciful notions of how it should; each person is a universe unto themselves. Attempting to impose one's own bandit logic, worldview, and values onto others is sheer folly.
Those who allow themselves to be manipulated by such bandit logic are usually either immature or lack conviction.
Unfortunately for them, Yang Yu was neither of those.
He might have been naive once, but he had since wised up.
He would not let a simple provocation heat his brow and engage in endless arguments.
