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.

These people both need to sit down and have some empathy for each other.

They could be growing stronger together through their struggles rather than making it some competition about who is worse off. (Which, in this case, the guy has started by not empathizing at all)

My mental health struggles in no way invalidate someone else's struggles.

I hate this kind of divisive bs.

This just in- man struggles with basic empathy, is wildly invalidating for no real reason to a person venting their frustrations

Edit: for the sake of clarity, I'm doing a bit here. I think the guy in the comic is an ass for making the other person's venting into a competition and invalidating their frustrations. I think people who do that are emotionally and interpersonally inept and it hurts the people around them

This just in- a man speaking for women on what to be upset about

Advocating for basic empathy is really not a thing that has to be gatekept to one gender 🤷

Are you referring to me, or the comic? (Earnest question, the internet makes things ambiguous sometimes)

You. A rule I stick with is everyone on the internet is male until proven otherwise. However evidence points that you are male.

I didn't tell anyone what to feel, I described the guy in the comic as an asshole (for acting like a dick) in a silly way as if I were a news reporter. I think he's a dick.

I don't have to be a woman to say that it's a dick move to be invalidating to someone explaining that they struggle with a certain experience. Or to hear them and then immediately make it into a contest. That has nothing to do with being a man or a woman, and everything to do with having basic social skills and empathy.

And I'm "vaguely masculine" at best.

He's bleeding out of his vagina that often? He should see a doctor.

Also, this comic is sociopathic. You could say this in any situation to put anyone down. Are you feeling sick? I'm ALWAYS sick. Are you feeling sad? Well, I'm ALWAYS sad. Oh, you're painfully passing an egg, having cramps, and bleeding? Yeah, I ALWAYS eat Taco Bell.
