Let's do some algebra.

The women you lust after but cannot have because they want men you see as superior to you DOES NOT EQUAL "women want superior men"

That's a you problem, Boo. You've dislocated your head into a darkened area. You can't see straight.

I see we need some more basic algebra.

Other men not witnessing you being rude to a group of women in a public setting DOES NOT EQUATE TO the rudeness not happening OR the complaint being made with the intention of getting you fired rather than suggesting training or education (for example) OR your firing is an act of revenge just because some dude said so.

Now, let's have a basic lesson on how employment in customer facing jobs and complaints go.

It costs money to hire, train, and develop staff. A business invests in you by hiring you. Generally speaking, and certainly for businesses that are being managed well, that business is going to protect their investments.

"The customer is always right" is bullshit. Sometimes customers are just bad actors. It has to he said. Business owners know this and are prepared to deal with this.

Part of that is that they look for patterns of behavior. They follow up. They don't take anyone's word as absolute on pretty much anything until trust has been established. And they don't trust automatically or easily. Most places also have cameras now.

There are also labor laws and the potential for lawsuits to consider. These are different from place to place but generally speaking, there is a path to file a grievance against an unfair firing, often there's something akin to a 3-strikes policy, meaning you can't be fired unless you've been written up or put on a PIP (personal improvement plan) 3 times, other places it's a little more lax with multple verbal warnings,

All this boils down to most places, you can't be fired on the spot for one error, unless that error is violence of some kind (you get into a fight), is unlawful (you get caught stealing), etc.

In the arena of customer facing businesses, the sad reality is pretty much ALL employees have complaints against them eventually. Jesus himself could come down from heaven, get a customer facing job, and within 6 months someone will have complained that he was rude, slow, and stupid. Guarantee it.

Customers are petulant, demanding, exacting arseholes.

All of this to point out that your story of being fired because some woman said you were rude to get revenge for being oppressed by men is suspect. We are outside the realm of rational thinking and common sense.

I'd be willing to bet whatever you did was reviewed on camera, wasn't the only time complaints of this nature had been made about you, you were on a final warning for other things, was illegal or dangerous in some way, or left the business exposed to a potential lawsuit if they didn't fire you.

Maybe I'm wrong though. Some places you can be fired because they just don't like you. We have to recognize that not everywhere in the world has decent labor laws.

Even so. It absurd to claim gender revenge when the woman who complained about you does not have the power to fire you. She's not your boss. She was your customer. Customers can't fire employees. Only employers can do that.
