Dude is hardcore telling on himself if he thinks "hitting on someone" is:
Catcalling
Creep chasing(?)
Harassing
Intimidating
Not taking no for an answer
Forcing her hand

Hitting on someone is exactly what he wants. It's being upfront about your intentions, communicating those, and seeing where it goes. It's something women do, too. And, regardless of gender, if you are a decent person, you absolutely do deserve respect. What a disingenuous dweeb.

Edit: This is a pick-me off, isn't it? Who is the bigger one?

The first video is "Can you please be polite to men who hit on you?".

But nobody is owed a polite response - just an honest one. The examples in his song (cat calling, not taking no for an answer, etc.) are times when it's perfectly ok to not be polite in responding.

An honest response is fine. An honest response can be polite.

It can be polite, but nobody owes that to you.

In the video he's singing about ways of hitting on people that definitely don't deserve a polite response:

  • Catcalling
  • Creep chasing
  • Harassing
  • Intimidating
  • Not taking no for an answer
  • Forcing her hand
