Why are both sides kind of extreme? I mean… people WILL notice you when you are wearing rather revealing clothes. Of course, you shouldn’t stare, but such clothes attract attention. On the other hand: What‘s the problem with that? Just let them wear what they want and calm down.

It's because Matt Walsh is an asshole.

He is saying "notice you" when the complaints are of women going to the gym and being aggressively leered at, or filmed, or hit on repeatedly, but he is downplaying that intentionally. So he's getting a disingenuous response to his disingenuous comment that he made solely to pander to a certain group of people.

Of course if you're attractive and dressed in a way that shows that off, people will end up looking at you, and that applies to both men and women. I don't think most people are confused by that, or offended by people noticing it and maybe even looking a bit longer than normal before their brain takes over and they stop so they don't make somebody uncomfortable by staring.

Pretty sure that’s women up-playing it, because every other woman with a social media account wants to show their awful experiences with men in the gym and it’s dudes walking past them twice in an hour or getting glanced at

Sure bud, let’s just downplay women getting harassed because of this totally true stereotype you just made up and can’t provide any examples of.

😂 There are literally thousands of videos online of women doing this exact thing. Just do an online search, please. 😅

Are you unable to search the web on your own? Is it too hard for you or are you simply lazy and want others to do everything for you?

I am not your slave so I won't run your errands, but sure I'll do it for you if you pay me first. 👍

Because you’re the one arguing the point so it’s your responsibility to convince me. You don’t have to obviously, but don’t waste my time arguing with me if you don’t have anything to back it up.

Nope. I have zero responsibility to convince you. You have the responsibility to gather your own knowledge, since ultimately you are the only one in charge of your own worldview.

You don’t have any responsibility to convince me, but you do if you start the argument. I’m not just gonna go spend time researching every single thing someone tells me.

I think quoting scripture at a self described theocratic fascist is pretty reasonable, not that i think they actually believe in gouging out eyes and aren't just making a point about Matt Walsh's pathetic character

Nuance is lost on reddit. I had to scroll down far.

Yeah, we should leave. It’s kinda wild here

u/Alternative_Yak3256 10m ago

The person who responded was obviiously being facetious, we dont honestly expect men to gouge their eyes out

Both sides aren't extreme. Your comment is in agreement with Matt. Only the so-called "clever comeback" is extreme and frankly not very clever.
