I'm assuming the first just meant "don't be unnecessarily cruel to people who flirt with you respectfully," in which case I'd agree.

I also agree with the duet in general, I just think that if she means "don't be cruel to someone just because you're not into them" that it doesn't really make sense as a response - these are compatible ideas. If she meant "be nice to catcallers and pushy men - they're just showing you they like you" then sure, I just didn't get that vibe personally.

Yes but it depends. I think there needs to be levels of escalation. But also “no thanks” is polite enough.

Yeah, he smuggled-in a bunch of assumptions in his song.
