The reception to Taylor's comments was mixed to sharply critical online, with a significant section of social media users rejecting the idea that women naturally favour aggression or dominance.

Critiques flooded the comments sections, with users urging the actress not to generalise her views. One user wrote, "Not all girls. Please. Don't generalise," while another commented, "Wtf, I'd choose being single any day over being with a guy who tries to dominate me or raises his voice on me."
