It’s a rule that whenever women are living their lives, a man will come along and assume they’re doing it for him. Enter Andrew Duncan, a journalist according to his Twitter bio, who finds it “wonderful” when women wear clothes that let him see parts of their legs, shoulders, and cleavage, but he thinks that it undermines their claims for equality.
People were quick to point out that what women wear has nothing to do with whether or not they’re equal human beings.
Why would it?

Why would the human body even come into the conversation of equality

Frankly, it’s creepy to think otherwise.

“How can women get equal rights if I get an erection from staring at their shoulders?” – Andrew

Completely normal question from someone who doesn’t have bodies hidden in their crawlspace

Honestly, some of the takedowns were savage.
The questions you should be asking yourself are

“Why do I feel the need to be an ass on social media?”
“Why can’t I just be a normal guy, who respects boundaries?”
“Why does a woman’s flesh frighten me so?”
Stop being a shit stirrer and repeat after me….BBBBoundaries.

I read that and thought for certain it was a joke: a man putting that old trope out there to demonstrate how stupid the old thinking was. But I guess HE’S the old trope.

Leave? She never came. In either sense of the word.

And everyone had a good laugh.
How dare we ask for equality if we continue to wear over the knee skirts?? How freaking dare we???

Especially in the leg and bosom department.

The bosom department is next to tools as it turns out.

Amanda Jette Knox, author of Love Lives Here, and Dr. Dena Grayson came out to talk about the hypocrisy of how men literally go topless in public and then say stuff like this.

And the bots were summoned.
@infinite_scream hit us with that sweet sound one more time! This tweet deserves your best work. Even more, the sounds can sooth us while we wait for @ArtDecider

Just in case it was a matter of jealousy Twitter user Erynn Brook was keen to reassure him that he’s allowed to get his bosom out too, because equality is for everyone.
You can show off your bosom too, Andrew. Equality is for everyone.
— Erynn Brook (@ErynnBrook) July 18, 2019
Women, in general, are just so done with being told this kind of thing. It’s hot outside. Leave us alone.
Equality would mean we are free to wear whatever we want.

It’s going to be 100 degrees in NYC today…happy to leave my petticoat & panty hose at home

Bro, it’s not equality until I can mow the lawn topless like men do.
— Shannon Coulter (@shannoncoulter) July 17, 2019
But the men of Twitter also think this is bullshit, joining forces with the women to drag him.
https://twitter.com/nornirishfella/status/1151692092684587008
Why do some men go on about how women dress but scoff at their equality? Doesn’t this reveal the men’s false attempt to support equality?

Because… It’s hot? 🤨

Still, Andrew did win entry into the ratio hall of fame, so that’s nice, isn’t it?
