I love that you're asking how it's misogynistic and literally your next words are that it's a stereotype about women.

"it's a joke." really? from what, 4th century CE?

and stop this bullshit about being offended.

people can call out misogyny, or any kind of bigotry without being offended. not that being offended is a bad thing when something is offensive to begin with. though to me it's not "offensive" so much as it is incredibly hack. what I find offensive is pretending that this is in any way funny.

also being in the minority or majority does not have any bearing to the legitimacy of your arguments. and it's not most people who get it, it's literally everyone. there's nothing to "get". this is one of the oldest jokes in history. update your sense of humor.

@pyre ,

Why can't you just look at two women in a comic and not extrapolate and believe that what is depicted applies to the entire gender, to the entire 4 billion+ women on the Earth? The comic and its joke exists because that type of scenario has happened.

Women are not always nice to each other. That is the joke in the comic.

It's more misogynistic to assume that a depiction of one scenario applies to the entire gender than to just understand that is is a joke calling out a specific behavior.
