Brian Sauvé, a Christian pastor at Refuge Church in Ogden, Utah, sparked outrage online after claiming women shouldn't wear certain types of clothing on social media.

In a now infamous Tweet, Brain penned an open letter addressed to “Ladies” where he claimed that “there is no reason whatsoever for you to post pictures of yourself in low cut shirts, bikinis, bra and underwear, or anything similar—ever.” The outspoken father of five continued to argue that not even a weight loss journey, showing a newborn or documenting your birth are reasons enough for this.

As you can suspect, this didn’t sit well with people online. They responded to Brian in a similar manner: “Dear Brian,” and pointed out how wrong on so many levels his message was. #DearBrian is now trending, and below we collected some of the best responses from people allergic to misogynistic BS.

If you’re wondering, Brian is a 31-year-old Utah pastor and Christian musician. Brian is the Pastor of Preaching and Liturgy at Refuge Church, which appears to be an independent Calvinist evangelical Christian organization. In addition to his pastoral duties, the father of five is also a Christian musician and has over 5,000 monthly listeners on Spotify tuning in to hear him perform hymns and psalms, We Got This Covered reports.

Brian introduces himself on his website as the “the lieutenant of wordsmithing and chieftain of scribery (trust me, it's a word) in this digital kingdom.” He adds: “As such, feel free to direct any disagreement, vitriol, extravagant praise, or general ire in my direction.” It seems like he got enough of that these past two days.

The next day, after posting his original tweet, Brian shared the following post: “Quite a few men and women who would likely identify as liberal feminists have recently taken quite the interest in my Twitter account. Welcome! I'm glad you're here.” He then penned a series of follow-up tweets, where despite the outrage, he defended and stood by his initial comment.

“Many of you likely use and promote the #MeToo movement — yet hundreds of you are sending me unsolicited sexual images and videos. Is that ok now? I thought your sexual ethic was all about consent? This seems like naked (pun intended) hypocrisy on your part,” he continued.

Brian added, “If a man were to send you unsolicited nude pictures or sexually explicit videos of himself, you would (rightly!) judge him as a sexually abusive pervert. But you can do it to me? How does the ethical math work out on that? Maybe your sexual ethics aren’t so ethical after all.”

The pastor proceeded telling his critics “I don't hate you. Sincerely, I don't.” He added that he hopes “you can find freedom from the crippling weight of your sin through Christ.” Moreover, he called everyone “hypocrites, sinners and moral vagabonds.”
