This is a YouTube video titled "TOXIC Test (Some) Women Use! 😬 #toxicrelationships" (uploaded 2023-11-09). The excerpt is a single-speaker spoken commentary in English about relationship dynamics, criticizing the so-called "insult or verbal challenge test" where a woman allegedly says belittling things to gauge a man's reaction. The speaker characterizes that behavior as a way to excuse being a jerk and labels the framing that blames a man's assertive response as toxic.

Chapters

The first one is called the insult or the verbal challenge test. And I'm just rolling my eyes as I even say that. This is basically where a woman will say rude or disrespectful or belittling things to see how you react. And the claim is it is to see if you will keep your cool and if you are a confident person and if you react to this, to her being rude or belittling or unkind. If you react to that, then you have failed the test. Do you know what that sounds like to me? That sounds like a jerk looking for an excuse to justify being a jerk. Let's be real here. And then to claim that it's the man's fault for being assertive and not tolerating that bad behavior. That right there is toxic all day long.
