Soon after the original photo went viral, a student at Texas A&M University set up their own table with a sign that read "LAYNE'S IS BETTER THAN CANE'S / CHANGE MY MIND".The student newspaper for Texas Christian University, TCU 360, reported on the event, writing that it opened a debate on male privilege. The concept of the videos would be quite impressive if his intent was sincere and fair, but it’s not." It seems like a clever way of presenting his ideas. The Concordian was also critical of Crowder's actions, remarking that they were done as a way to attract attention and that the "goal is clearly to defend his own point of view by confronting people and winning the argument. The photo was criticized by a writer for Harper's Bazaar, who felt that neither men in general nor Crowder were owed an explanation of feminism and compared it to Audre Lorde's statement about the expectation of LGBT and minority groups to educate others while "The oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions.". The table setup is part of a regular segment Crowder performs on his YouTube channel and podcast, where he sits at a table with a sign proclaiming statements such as the one above, accompanied by the words "Change My Mind". Since posting the photo of himself seated behind the sign, the viral photo has been manipulated a multitude of times to change the sentence on the sign.

Crowder set up a table outside the campus of Texas Christian University with the sign reading "Male Privilege is a myth / Change My Mind" and invited students walking by to change his mind on the subject.
