The A++ takedown of a bigot telling women how to dress was already good but these men’s replies made it even better
To Twitter now – no, stick with us – where the social media site is choc full of exactly the sort of people you’d imagine it would be.
Like this person, who went viral with this attempt to tell women how to dress in the most bigoted and unpleasant way possible.
Imagine being excited to send your girl off to be a wh*re at a festival pic.twitter.com/FqBBm2fTHd

It go no end of love from a certain type of man.
And then guys wonder why their girlfriends don’t respect them…if your girl goes to a festival it’s an L. Just leave her bro…

But we preferred what these people had to say.
Imagine being so insecure as a man you can’t let your woman go off and enjoy herself and wear what she wants. Have a fucking cry. https://t.co/Mp33WqsTVp

This is actually so disgusting, like just cause a girl dresses up the way she wants, where she feels confident and beautiful, she’s automatically seen as a wh*re?? https://t.co/A0tklLhjSA

In my 10 years of raving I’ve never hooked up with a guy at a festival including my own bf because festivals are gross and I don’t be showering enough for that https://t.co/2eYovEJBsY

… and in particular what menswear writer and Twitter icon Derek Guy (or @dieworkwear if you prefer) had to say.
again, i feel like guys who have no interest in clothes don’t understand that women commonly dress for other women. if you see a woman dressing in a very revealing way, they are prob doing it for their female friends. https://t.co/cw8j9bwKQM

Nailed it.
And it prompted no end of replies from men – you remember, that certain type again – and it made the whole thing even better.
1.
it sounds like u know a ton about women, you should post more of ur expertise in this area
— frankenstein (@deadbeatdorothy) September 9, 2024
i mean, my replies and QTs are of a bunch of women saying “true” and then guys with gaming youtube channels and fake war patches on their twitter page saying “no.” ♂️https://t.co/k8Og3CrV36

Letting your girl go to a festival without you is de jure cuckoldry.

you don’t think this makes you sound insecure?

And if you know anything about evolutionary biology, you know this is false.
They’re dressing in a competition with other females, yes. But the competition is for male attention (evolutionarily speaking)
— MacroKangaroo (@Macro_Kangaroo) September 9, 2024
i think you mean evolutionary psychology, not biology. i find a lot of evolutionary psychology to be very dubious because the causal inference is not convincing. most of the theories read as nice just-so stories rather than robust causal claims.

This take clearly signals you’re better off sticking to the commentary on collar gaps.

i know everything can seem centered on you when you feel horny but just bc you feel horny does not mean someone did something with the intention of making you horny

No mate, you’re wrong this time. They’re trying to outdo other girls to get a guy
— Awang Senapang (@AwangSenapang) September 9, 2024
bro, you think they’re all dressing for you??

I’ve heard women say that, but I’ve also heard men say this is actually “fertility signaling” (probably not the exact term but something similar… About displaying to the world their good physical qualities that would suggest good child bearing and nurturing capabilities)

“i’ve heard women tell me their motivations, but i’ve also heard men project motivations based on how horny they feel”
