Thank you for your thoughtful reply, and my apologies for responding so late. I don’t have much time available to go over my responses.
I get your point but this comic basically implies that any time that a guy says he has a real problem, he is somehow hurting women. This makes it that guys should not complain at all, about anything?
This reminds me of this video from a few years back where men were gathering in some university building to talk about suicide within men. These were men, people, who lost either their fathers, brothers, or sons to suicide.
Cue a group of extremist feminists to have an impromptu protest at the door entrance, shouting at these guys “it’s great that he’s dead, one less evil men”, that sort of blood boiling shit. I think that comics like this at the very least excuse this behavior and at worst encourage it
this comic basically implies that any time that a guy says he has a real problem in response to a women voicing her own experience, he is somehow hurting women
key, KEY, difference, that everyone who appreciates the comic positively will understand. i could see how that might be unclear to someone who doesn’t frequently see these kinds of conversations in life, but that’s what’s truly the intended meaning here.
when a guy says he has a real problem in pretty much literally any other context, i and the author of the comic have no issue; that is good and healthy. if that first panel didn’t exist, removing the context for her being spoken over in later panels, it would be a highly inappropriate comic and i would be 100% with you in coming down with judgement :)
