#2I hope this isn't taken the wrong way, but I'm glad he's not taking it all back and saying he didn't mean it. Not that I support his position, but I do appreciate him not pretending that a bunch of people making fun of him on twitter suddenly changed his mind he's spent 72 years making up.

Nowhere did he say they were "distractingly sexy". He said men fall in love with women. That happens. He also said women fall in love with men. That also happens. If it didn't, the human population would be declining and not increasing.
His only sexist statement is that they cry (with the caveat that you criticized them). It's very ironic they are crying on Twitter - no less about something he never actually said.

Well, I guess I appreciate him not pretending to have reconsidered after the public response, OTOH, I don't know why one would appreciate someone not actually reconsidering such a position.
I fail to understand how, as often seems to be the case with issues like this, people respond with an attitude of "well, sure, he's got a horrible position, but at least he stubbornly refuses to reconsider it even when large numbers of people point out how horrible it is".

Also, men fall in love with men, and women fall in love with women.

Uh, "mocking" is very different from "crying".

You are confusing mockery with argument. This is not intended to demonstrate that Hunt is wrong; the audience at which it is directed doesn't need that demonstrated.

#9How exactly is this effort supposed to demonstrate that Hunt is wrong?
It's the opposite. They're proving him right.
Most of the offense seems to be taken on his first statement: "Men fall in love with women." Twitter 3rd-wave Feminists twisted that into "too sexy for the men".
You don't see any men going on Twitter complaining he called them irresistible and distractingly sexy (things he never actually said anyway). Where's all the offence taken that "Women fall in love with men" from the men?
Them crying on Twitter about something he never said (and he said about both genders, not just females) kind of proves his 3rd point: they cry.

He didn't say that.

With the above correction you've shown your political standing. Of course you see it as mockery. Most people are going to see it as them crying about his "sexism" over something he didn't actually say (that they were distractingly sexy).
If people were mocking him - more men would be mocking him for the second statement that they are "irresistible" to women and their bravado gets them all the ladies and they are having troubles working because of all the sex they are getting. But they aren't crying on Twitter because he said that women fall in love with them.
