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.

Today in things that never happened:

Or maybe it would happen in the US. I wouldn't be surprised anymore.

Try asking any female friend if they can relate to this comic.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago

Given everything, I'm guessing they don't have any.

They’d need to interact with a woman on a personal level to be able to accomplish that.

Either you never seen the comment section of any post ever, or you the dude who makes these kind of comments.

Yes, because comment sections on Lemmy/Reddit/Social Media are a good metric for what happens AFK. We saw that when Lemmy/Reddit perfectly predicted the crushing loss of Donald Trump.

Oh wait...

I'd suggest going out more and hanging out with real people.

We saw that when Lemmy/Reddit perfectly predicted the crushing loss of Donald Trump.

As I recall Lemmy/Reddit was telling people how important it was to vote, because Trump wasn't guaranteed to lose, and if he wins he's going to become a dictator.

Seems pretty accurate to me.

But you seem to have a pattern of not actually listening to what people are saying so I'm not surprised you got that wrong.

I think they're referring to the online experience. Every single post about some "woman who does something intelligent / skillful", with enough attention (and it doesn't take much!), will contain guys being absolute shits.

Seems like the confusion can be attributed to assuming the discussion was limited to "being outside".

This happens literally every day. lmao

Really? So people randomly approach you on the street and proclaim they'll never date you?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 3 days ago (19 children)

YES. Literally yes.

I've been approached by men who say I'm wearing too much makeup and that men don't like that. That I should smile more if I want a boyfriend. That my clothes aren't very flattering and it's unattractive to him.

Like, for all your talk of "go outside" you don't seem to know what life is like for women outside.

Hearing a girlfriend express a lack of confidence because she wouldn't get accosted kind of fucked me up. A moment of realization that the way the world is is so drastically different from the way I want to believe it is, I didn't know where to start.

I try to build a habit of reacting to feeling upset with behavior by thinking up a situation that could lead me to act in the same way, but I really struggle to imagine what would make someone inclined to approach a stranger on the street with this kind of comment.

Totally unrelated, but I've seen comics from this artist before and they've always given me weirdly unsettling vibes. I can't really pinpoint if it's the dialogue or the art style.

I am not a women but if you go outside with them you will see it.
Any time a woman stands up for anything that a shitty man disagrees with they say the same shit. Every time.
