Are those phrases in the comic based on real comments that some men tell women? Absolutely.
Panel 2 is also very similar to how men get treated when having been robbed or sexually assaulted by a woman.
Panels 3 & 4 just straight up apply to what men get told. Different phrasing to what you’d expect but the exact same result.
If you haven’t experienced it then that is awesome for you. I’m not going to focus on anecdotes here or we could be here all week and this isn’t a pissing match of who has it worse.
Someone starving on the other side of the planet wouldn’t make my hunger any better would it?
Recognising that there is a degree of shared experience here is far healthier for everyone and statements like this
Any man who sees this comic and takes offence to it, congratulations, you’re the fucking problem.
When you have zero knowledge of what someone else has experienced is only going to push them away and make their future reactions more extreme.
There is a growing divide between young men and women driven by online vitriol. It helps no one.
These experiences are all rooted in sexism and it negatively affects both men and women to differing degrees, sometimes under similar circumstances.
Nuance and understanding are far more difficult than knee-jerk rage but it is important to try.
I see where PC is coming from, but she has a blind spot for the things men hear, because she isn’t a man and hasn’t got that lived experience.
So it’s a bad take not because it’s factually wrong that women hear these things but because it is tone deaf to the fact that men get told shit like this every day.
Again… it’s not a pissing match. Having it worse doesn’t invalidate another person’s problems.

Found one.
Much like I’m disappointed with PizzaCake’s comic I’m disappointed that this is your response.
