        Based on the narrator’s actions they did not appreciate being called “a man”. The mom was therefore an asshole for that implication.

        The narrator is an asshole because the mom needed help, and they were in a position to help, but they refused to.

        (BTW, I personally don’t know enough about either person, so I’m not going to cast judgement)

          I assume there’s context missing. Going out on a limb and assuming OOP is transfem. So if their mom needs a man’s help clearly OOP can’t help and is therefore not an asshole.

            To take it even further, some people ate toast. Others, eggs. Some people objected to all that and they ate giant beetles
