I have my issue with people being so pissed about him saying "You can have her." If they had written his line in the way that people wish they had, it would've been really clunky and awkward, and people would have been bitching that it sounds unnatural because nobody talks like that.

And some of my fellow women who are being pissy about that line are hypocrites because they would say "You can have him" without a second thought, without meaning that he's an object or possession.

Honestly, tons of people say "You can have her/him" without seeing the person in question as an object or possession and without meaning it that way. People generally accept that "You can have her/him" means "You can go for her/him, and I won't stand in your way."

Now that I think about it, a better line to suggest would be "Go for her. She likes you. She doesn't want me, and I should've listened. I was just thinking about what I wanted." That is so much better than everything I have seen everyone else suggest. It sounds natural, people actually talk like that, and it gets the point across without making people think he's objectifying Weiss.
