Receding hairline theory

Applicable to men online (usually bald with caps or evident receding hairlines, often featuring photos with them in mirrored sunglasses and inside vehicles) who post misogyny, violent threats, or any kind of verbal abuse whenever a woman says something they don't like (which could be as simple as "women shouldn't be raped" or "women shouldn't feel obligated to have sex with you just because you paid for dinner, because they are not hired sex workers")
(online article about woman being raped and murdered)

Some dude: okay but we don't know the WHOLE story, I'll take things that never happened for $500 Alex

Someone replying to him: looks like we have another case of receding hairline theory
