X has asked By (and some of the other guys in Heretic Camp) to sit Y down and talk to him, feeling that a male perspective might be better received.
Frankly, I think this is a bad sign too. If Y is refusing to believe that women can have valuable perspective on things to do with love and relationships, what does this say about whether he's going to be willing to listen to X when she says "Stop, you've crossed the line"?
Perhaps Y believes that the abusive bullshit he's been engaging in is what any man would do if he had the chance, and so believes that a male perspective will be more favorable toward him, and that men shouldn't be held to a high standard of behavior?
