Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Mine? America. I even live in a very blue "progressive" area. But I have friends in the UK that have similar experinces. Frankly, why would that even matter? This sort of thing happens all over.
America. Typical. I would like you to come to Scandinavia, then. You might get a culture shock.
I live in Norway. While it is less prevalent here than elsewhere, please understand that it still very much exists.
Guess what country the comic artist is likely from...
If you were even vaguely representative of Scandinavians, I'd steer clear. Luckily, I have family in Norway and Finland, so I know you're just an ass and are full of shit.
Is that like the American "2% of something" family in Scandinavia? Because that really means very little.
LOL I'm not an American. Your love of strawmen highlights your inability to actually respond to anything.
Well that makes it even worse, then. If you're so ignorant of how reality and normal people behave I suggest not hanging out so much on social media.
I mean. Okay? Maybe? But that's not really the point?
I'm just trying to address how unrealistic you thought this comic was. But it is a accurate depiction of a regular experince for many women's lives.
Honestly it seems like you're just trying to "win" the discussion by correcting others. When women talk about the problems they face, it's not helpful for you to go "That doesn't happen".
Well, it doesn't happen.
Your bias is showing, that's not a helpful response when anyone talks about their problems. Not just women.
Talking more seriously (but not that much more), I have some appreciation for being this brazen in the whole "I live in the real world and know women aren't shown disrespect out of nowhere by men they don't know, unlike you women with your lived experiences" shtick.
All lives matter moment.
This conversation is literally about women and their experience. If we were talking about someone being deported to a foreign prison and how they deserve due process, someone coming in with "everyone deserves due process" is not helpful nor offering any useful insight.
"These are good potatoes" does not mean I hate everything else on my plate.
I was making fun of the guy who was arguing with her. That's why at the start of the very next sentence I said I was not being serious in the part you quoted, and then right after saying that I called out that exact behavior.
I get that sarcasm isn't always easy to detect online so I wrote a second short paragraph to explicitly clarify that the first was sarcasm. Sorry for being annoyed but I feel kind of frustrated that still wasn't clear enough to avoid getting condescended to.
Same in Italy x 100.
