      Women also have fragile egos and it’s a weird unnecessary thing to gender for rage bait

        And it is also true that some men have fragile egos.

        Those type of men love to “well actually” just like you did here.

          all the anti-men shit is annoying because it’s not just dragging men but holding women up on some pedestal that they don’t deserve to be on. yeah, we fucking get it already–men suck. women are awful too.

          it’s all just internet posturing anyway. i’ve been alive long enough to know that women act exactly the same as they did 25 years ago. they talk hard online but IRL they’ll still hook up with a raunchy, abusive man just because he has a good job lol.

        It’s about individuals feeling attacked by a private statement not directed at them, ironically making it about them by reacting.

          “Private statement not directed at them” — the characters are in public, making misandrist comments about the people who respond.

          And it’s an obvious allegory for public online posts.

          Yet again, flip the genders. If men make misogynistic comments in public, should they be immune from even the slightest pushback?

          No. Sexism is bad regardless of who is doing the sexism, who they’re saying it to, or who can hear it.

          But the OP is rage bait and a lazy Kafka trap, so I won’t feed the trolls any further. You’re welcome to have the last word.

            Sexism is bad. This isn’t sexism. It’s not misandrist in any way.

            It’s about life, because the character looks around first to make sure they’re alone before speaking, because they’ve learned to anticipate the reactions of men with fragile egos. The character also says “sometimes,” which is not a generalization.

            There is nothing wrong with men sharing private conversations about their experiences, but they don’t get challenged as often as women do. Thus, the comic.

            Is it misandrist to correctly identify that some men react to women talking in this way?
