I think it's hard to be a human being. And it's hard to be forced into a narrow societal role, especially if it doesn't happen to be one that comes naturally to you.
But when Vincent was going on and on about how terrifying it is for a man to date when he knows that a woman might coldly reject him, I actually felt less sympathetic to men than I had before, as I was thinking, "And how much more terrifying is it to know that a man you date might rape, beat, or murder you? World's smallest violin!"
I think Vincent noticed class differences, but failed to actually think about them.
