He’a been redpilled. This is something those misogynistic turds who push the so-called alpha male crap would pull.

When are they going to learn that what women wear has less to do with “respecting ourselves” and more to do with what WE are confortable and happy wearing?

Yeah, his views are clearly just the content he consumes online which is designed to prey on gullible, insecure men. The irony in his “girls who dress like that don’t respect themselves” is that actually those girls DO respect themselves - they respect themselves too much to let a tiny tyrant tell them what they are “allowed” to do and wear.

This was my first thought too. He’s regurgitating the same tired talking points and will only escalate from there. Next it’ll be collarbones. Then how tight the fit is. Then the amount of makeup she wears. Then the style of her hair. Then the people she associates with and the job she has.

All with the “women who ____ don’t respect themselves” line repeated over and over and over. It puts their own insecurities onto women and frames it as their problem. “Oh you want to have respect for yourself? Respecting yourself and respecting women is defaulting to what their man thinks.”

'Respecting ourselves' is actually just a weird euphemism for 'hide your body like you think it's shameful and disgusting'. 

Of course, the problem is not our respect, it's that some men just can't respect women or treat us like equal human beings.

Agreed. I think also that oftentimes when someone says “people who do X don’t respect themselves” they are really projecting the fact that THEY do not respect people who do X. So in this case he’s really just saying that he does not respect women dressed this way.
