She has responded to her criticism and taken it as a way to improve herselfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL7zO0tU3XQ, but has disabled comments on a lot of other videos. In July 2016 she made one video critiquing her anti-feminist responders and said she did not wish to debate themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLPqIGdf7G8, and has admitted to deleting commentshttps://everydayfeminism.com/2015/07/why-i-delete-my-comments/.
