They talked about a lot of different guys in the episode. Some of them asked a girl out and some of them didn't.

Yeah, that's the best word for it. They were mostly guys plus one girl.

The guys were a lot more aggressive in their social justice warrioring than the girl. It seemed like they put all their male aggression into being outraged. Perhaps they were trying to be outraged on behalf of the token female in their group or they were trying to impress her by being "gentlement" or "nice guys".

In my experience any guy who tries too hard at being at being a perfect feminist when there are ladies present is usually a "nice guy". If he only does it to get into her pants than he's not a true feminist.

I don't usually use the term "social justice warrior" either because I feel it's an ad hominem. In some arguments it's merely a term to mean "person I don't agree with" or it can merely be used as a silencing tactic in lieu of an actual argument.

Yes I am wondering about what they specifically said was creepy...if it's just merely asking a girl out they are calling creepy than they are wrong. But if they indeed asked girls out in creepy ways perhaps it was fair criticism.

I'm such a coward. I just got on a semi-crowded train. There was a space next to two stunningly beautiful young woman who mercifully were not wearing headphones or staring at smartphones but I chickened out and kept walking down the aisle and sat next to an old man instead. If I'm still single it's my own fault.

I think it was only sensible. What would you have done after sitting down next to them? I for one wouldn’t even know where to look at without being considered a pervert. You know, the only way not to look in any direction is to close your eyes, and then someone will steal anything you’re carrying with you :D
