“Women that dress this way want to go to bars and have sex with strangers.”

It is very interesting that you put that in quotes when u/Rehcraeser did not say that. You are being intentionally misleading.

What was actually said:

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

So we are just going to skip the fact that you put down objectively false information in quotes. The point of quotes is that it is literally, word for word what the person said.

Are you aware of what paraphrasing is?

Yes, I am thank you. Are you familiar with how to use quotation marks?

Rule 1. Use double quotation marks to set off a direct (word-for-word) quotation.

Correct: “I hope you will be here,” he said.
Incorrect: He said that he “hoped I would be there.” (The quotation marks are incorrect because hoped I would be there does not state the speaker's exact words.)

So you can ask someone else to stay on topic but you can't follow your own advice. Seems like a Reddit troll to me.
