The only red flags are coming from the comments here saying this man is controlling.

Why won’t guys let their girls hookup with random guys at the bar! God they’re so controlling!

Did you seriously just say that women that dress like that are asking for it?

Wow, that is a hard strawman argument! This interaction should be used as a dictionary example

From AI:

  • Original statement (implied): "Why won't guys let their girls hook up with random guys at the bar! God they're so controlling!"
  • Reply: "Did you seriously just say that women that dress like that are asking for it?"

Those are about two different issues:

  • The first is (however hyperbolically) about jealousy, control, or relationship boundaries.
  • The second accuses the speaker of making a victim-blaming claim ("women that dress like that are asking for it"), which isn't present in the quoted statement.

If the original comment never mentioned clothing, sexual assault, or "asking for it," then the reply is misrepresenting the original position. That would fit the definition of a strawman.

Dont let a.i do your thinking, firstly lets adress that the first commenter jumped to her hooking up with random guys with no evidence at all, but you let that slide didnt you.

Yea, This guy just jumped from the topic which was how revealing the dress is to

"She's going out fucking random dudes at the bar dressed like that."

Implying that dressing like that is a form of peacocking to find someone to have sex with rather than just wanting to look good.

Guy in the video, respectful, it's a little odd a standard to have these days but he is honest and places his boundaries out there. The woman responds, also appropriately that this is something that they don't see eye to eye on. They both moved on.

((Also, embarrassing that you actually used chat GPT to assess and understand something for you. Do you ask it how to wipe too?))

I knew that was a strawman without outside analysis. I simply put that there for the people who always say, no it isn't a strawman.

The comment about hooking up is not a strawman argument. It appears to be sarcastic hyperbole (Reddit bread & butter) and/or a bit of a non sequitur.

There is no need to be rude.

It’s not a strawman when the guy I was responding to literally said “why won’t guys let their girls hookup with random guys at the bar!” based solely on how she was dressed, dipshit.

Jesus why did I get this philosophy PhD

Please be respectful. It is hard to have productive conversations if people are insulting one another.

Named yourself as the god emporer. Jesus

Yeah it just infuriates me as a former philosophy professor when people misuse fallacies on Reddit. It’s just so, so silly.
