Why do trans people get so deeply offended when a stranger misgenders them, especially when it's a first encounter? I've been socially transitioned for 4 years and it just feels like a waste of energy to be so hurt by it.

Move the nub up to the top:

If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2

So, that’s a rectangle with sides 2 and 4.

Why are so many young teenage boys misogynistic? Where do they get these attitudes from?

The more direct answer is to look at a rectangle with sides of n + 1 and n - 1, let’s go with n = 2
