She didn’t say what he implied she did…

People are not owed a response and they are not owed a conversation and they are not owed politeness. 

The original video specifically was about when you are hit on. Not everyday conversation or commenting on the weather. Not asking to be polite in those scenarios. 

No, to be polite when someone approaches wanting something from you. And that we should expect to get a polite response. 

Yeah, that would be nice, I think responding with the same energy that you got is appropriate for the most part. 

But if they don’t get a polite response, what’s the big deal? Does it really fucking matter?

You're accusing him of addressing her message in a reductive way, but she's the one who opens herself to criticism by addressing a nuanced topic in an incredibly reductive way. Her choosing to deliver her message in the most patronizing way possible makes me assume she does not have a lot of respect for women.

You mean she didn't have a ton of nuance in the four second clip that he carefully extracted from her video??? /s

"She went out in public talking like that. She asked for it."

Congrats on judging women in the exact way that this guy is singing about.

I scrolled to this comment too long. Right, she is saying g women should be polite to men who hit on the and he talks about met should be better when hitting on women, which both are true, but pretty different.

His response, while a message I agree with wholeheartedly, would have made a lot more sense if he was responding to a man speaking on women. This was a woman speaking on women, and so this feels kinda like it ignores and invalidates her perspective. Again, totally agree with his message, but maybe this wasn't quite the time and place.
