That's exactly what we found on the Clever Comebacks subreddit, where people share witty replies to some truly questionable takes. From sarcastic one-liners to responses so spot-on they leave you wondering how anyone could possibly argue back, these exchanges are a joy to read.

I don't think separating by gender helps much, but the level of privacy is different with American style public restroom stalls.

    The whole point of this is that it's actually a kettle and an egg cooker that happen to have ramen included. However I will concede that $70 (esp. if USD) is a lot of money to pay for a kettle and a egg cooker. I could buy an egg cooker and a kettle for considerably less than $70 NZD total.

    Obviously we only need to protect cisgender women from transgender women. And not the actual people carrying out crimes against women whether they be cisgender or transgender. And of course we should not point out how Conservative America is actively trying to reduce women's rights.
