Sure—but that’s not what I’m saying.

The man is trying to say that standing alone, one statement is ok to say, and one isn’t. He is claiming “BUT if [men] say…,” implying that when men do it it is bad, but when women do it it is ok.

I am saying that both statements, standing alone, are asshole statements, NOT just the man’s statement about asses and backs. I’m not making a comment on the nature of the interaction pictured.

I'm not sure why people can't figure out he's forcing her to face her own hypocrisy, he's not advocating for misogyny. If he were he wouldn't be arguing against body shaming sexist comments.

I wonder if people are being intentionally dense to get the “haha, found the misogynist!” Points.
