Alisha’s tweet made it to Today’s show hosted by Hoda & Jenna, where the ladies agreed that not sharing is a definite ‘don’t’
Following the debates her tweet sparked about dating etiquette, Alisha also expressed her thoughts about the negative feedback she started to receive
Also coincidentally, the story echoed Alisha’s new book Girl Gone Viral, which tells a story about a woman whose private conversation with a stranger goes online and she is forced to hide. Just what Alisha wasn’t ready for was the hate she received. She also tweeted regarding the angry feedback she received: “Truly, there is nothing a woman can go viral for that will not result in an avalanche of misogyny, not even a facetious tweet. About dessert etiquette.”

Ugh...was he a d@#k human, yes, the polite thing would be to offer. Is she overreacting? Absolutely. Did she offer to buy coffees? Who asked who on the date? This makes a difference. Everyone, even me, needs to keep their opinions to themselves, no one gives a cr#p. LOL

I'm missing the part of the story that says, if she was asked, if she wanted anything other than coffee.
If the guy asked "What coffee do you want?" and nothing else and she told him the coffee and he did that cakepop thing, that's rude.
If he did in fact ask "Do you want anything to go with your coffee?" and she said "No" and then expected him to go against her express wish and read her mind over a cakepop, then the problem is on her side.

lol those guys in here
she shared a funny story in a small twitter community and everbody goes batsh#t crazy.
it would be a strange behavior too with reversed roles. if she had bought two cake pops and ate them alone he would've felt awkward. this is not about gender, not about gender roles, so chill the f@#k down

Mira, yeah. Obviously not the same. You're comparing going out with a group of mates to a date. It's weird behaviour and you know it.

Mira,
Yes... I'm sure everyone but me knows about this syndrome... You're right. That IS standard education... I was just sick the day they taught about syndromes in elementary school...
And yes, I'm OBVIOUSLY the type of person that finds a woman, gives her food, f@#ks her, and then moves on... It was clear from the start...
Anyway, your last comment proves I seriously have no hope matching your awesome intellect and keen insight. I'll leave this knowing I can never convince you your observations, doubtless gathered in many healthy relationships, are wrong.
Btw, you might discover you have a slight void in your English language skills when you reread your comments.

... hate to break your bubble, or piss on your parade, but english is one of six languages I speak, moreover just little suggestion - try to attach just three letters (PhD) to your name and you'll find out that its becoming problem of everybody else to understand what you said, not the other way around.
P.S. - my observations gathered after (almost) 45 years of marriage and seeing multitude of people's lives being ruined. dit dit

Roberta, agreed. racism is not confined to only one color. Anyone of Any color can be racist. When you are beaten down everyday because you are a man, and have no father figure from which to learn, and all the media shows is Homer Simpson as a father figure it's no wounder man act the way they do.

Quilla, uh, no. Men are “beaten down” because of sh#tty behavior. Learn the difference. This lady made a simple comment and both men and women lost their minds over it. And she’s right, he was inconsiderate. Since everyone keeps bringing up feminists, they are asking only to be treated fairly in life. Basic manners still apply to everyone. Why is that such a hard concept for men?

Maybe the guy wasn't interested at all, meh just another shag, and all of the sudden he's put against the impossible perfect and biased image about men, of some random bird met on tinder, or whatever. Maybe the guy liked sweets, or he was a real @$$hole, she didn't stay long to find out after "tHe rED fLaG". People are sooo f@#king stupid!

I'm an old school guy and even I think the guy was lame for doing that. But my immediate assumption is that either 1) he didn't have any time or emotions invested in her so he just to see how she would respond for or 2) he had zero social skills and couldn't understand the ramifications. yeah I'm old and I can tell you stuff like this just didn't happen "back in the day" - this is a symptom of a messed up society - but whatever - I'll get thumbs down from some people and I really don't care LOL.

Serene,
I'm probably an older-school guy than you, and I agree this kinda cr#p would have never happened in the '50s or '60s. I've watched the whole thing happen; it's undeniable that this lack of respect for each other is the direct result of "feminism" and its relentless teaching that Wimmin Is Victims. Boys exposed to that poison learned to resent girls by the time puberty came along, while girls learned that they weren't responsible for anything.
The way boys and girls, even in their 50's, treat each other is shocking in its level of resentment.

Cordy, how on earth can you blame feminism for some man’s sh#tty behavior? He’s a grown adult who makes his own decisions. Absolutely unbelievable. Men will never get it because they simply don’t want to change the status quo and treat women like human beings.

If she was bothered about it, why didn't she just ask him during the date. Maybe he has diabetes and his blood sugar was low.

As per usual, the misogynists and incels are out in force with their predictable "feminism bad!!!" rants 
The simple fact of the matter is that this guy is on a date and presented himself as an inconsiderate, selfish a-hole. Nothing to do with feminism, gender roles, equality, etc - it's simply about manners and thoughtfulness. If I - as a male - had a woman do this to me on a date, I would be thankful for the early red flag/indicator of character, then ditch her and be promptly on my way.
