agreed, I'm out of the loop though. what does the Nigel remark reference?

“Not my Nigel” was this phrase criticizing women on the sub who didn’t think their male partners were misogynists - “men are misogynists, but not my Nigel.” Posters would mention clearly pro-woman things their partners did and then people would be like, “Oh, look, ‘not my Nigel.’”

not sure how I feel about that phrase but it sounds pretty dismissive/demeaning to women
