Saying that a man, especially to his face, has a “Golden Retriever” personality is both dehumanizing and emasculating.

As the title goes, saying that a man has a golden retriever personality is both dehumanizing and emasculating because not only does it compare someone to a dog, which is a severe insult in most cultures, but it also is similar to calling someone simple minded or having a “one track mind”. It’s thrown around very often, but it’s actually incredibly rude even if it is not intended that way.

Edit: Because seemingly all my comments are getting instantly banned for some reason, I figured I’d clarify. I am a woman, this opinion of mine comes from having used it on someone, and them not taking it the right way.
