The Breakfast Question or How Would You Have Felt If You Hadn't Eaten Breakfast? is a bait question and a counterfactual conditional that references a 4chan story of a grad student who allegedly performed IQ research on convicts at San Quentin State Prison. During the research, individuals with low IQ struggled to simulate the hypothetical situation in their minds, instead answering that they did have breakfast. Online, the question has been used in internet arguments as a conspicuous way to indicate that one's opponent is unintelligent, while the posts have often been referenced in memes.
>How would you have felt yesterday evening if you hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch?
>What do you mean? I did eat breakfast and lunch.
>Yes, but if you had not, how would you have felt?
>Why are you saying that I didn't eat breakfast? I just told you that I did.
>Imagine that you hadn't eaten it, though. How would you have felt?
>I don't understand the question.
> You seem to be failing the breakfast question, mate

A sarcatorical question is a question asked sarcastically with no desire for a legitimate answer. Often used to allusively insult a debate opponents argument, or to state a bigoted opinion in a nefarious attempt to seem genuine with the option to feign ignorance if criticised for it (see: sealioning)

Hym “Because he doesn’t like the thing that he becomes if he answers it. That’s clearly were the left goes too far. Reconfiguring words so that you don’t have to be the thing that you clearly are. Reconfigure the definition so you don’t have to consider yourself charlatan. Reconfigure the words so she isn’t a retard molester. Because getting slutted out by a cripple behind your fiancé’s back is like Romeo and Juliet. Calling into question the definition of words is your entire shtick! Time is up by the way and I remain unconvinced. You have selected punishment. Congratulations!”

Didn't readily accept everything they heard or were told by the media or other sources, thought for themselves about something.
Bad things would happen to any male that even questioned whether the girl was really raped, or whether anybody would really rape/want to rape her, or whether they found her attractive or not (regardless of what other guys thought), since to do so was to question her authoritie. She must not have liked anyone of the opposite sex challenging her authoritie too much, since that made it harder for her to dominate members of the opposite sex. If a guy said he was raped, nobody would hesitate to question it or laugh at him, since guys aren't special or remarkable.
