Bro Marketer who uses approves of bullying to show dominance
Here's what happened:
Jason Wojo added most of the "Webinars That Convert Challenge" on October 11th webinar attendees into a WhatsApp group chat. In less than 24 hours, things went down hill.
A lady named Colleen asked a simple question: "What's the purpose of this WhatsApp group?" She had just arrived and didn't know or didn't understand.
I was confused by it also, as where several others.
After she asked the question, 3-6 toxic masculinity bros came out of the woodwork to started criticizing her in the chat thread. Telling her to the effect, if you don't get it, you don't deserve to be here.
Instead of helping the woman with an FAQ that many people were wondering, he took it as a sign to kick her out of the group chat.
Then he went giving heart emoji's to each of the the toxic masculinity guys who had stood up for him.
When you put 300+ people on a group chat, hundreds are watching the drama unfold in chat.
This was not a good moment for Jason. He failed to exercise wisdom and maturity when just 2 people arrived to the group chat clueless!
Rather than show wisdom, grace, maturity, or kindness midst the question, he just kicked her out of the group chat.
If you only read this part it's this:
- Public shaming instead of curiosity. A respectful host would have said, “Hey, thanks for flagging that here’s the plan for the group.
- Performative unity over psychological safety. When dissent gets mocked, people learn to stay silent, not engaged.
- Validation of bad behavior. The heart reaction is a signal: “I approve of the pile-on.”
It's sad that these spaces become a place where cruelty and misbehavior is applauded as masculine and putting a woman in her place for asking a poorly worded question.
You see someone's character by how they handle difficult people and those less fortunate than them.
