    Omg we’re so close! Yes they defend themselves because those statistics are being used as weapons in furthering systemic racism. Us making fun of men (once again, not happening in this comic) does nothing but damage the patriarchy, which we agree is good right?

    To be clear, when we shit on bad men - I do want there to be nuance that we are specifically talking about bad men. This comic doesn’t need that because he’s either a rapist or he’s not - but it doesn’t matter because he’s still a stranger and that MAY be dangerous.

      Yeah, man, we were so close.

      And then you went back to being sexist.

      Oh well…

      It was nice talking to you. Maybe one day you’ll be able to see you’re being sexist by having negative attitudes attached to gender instead of other contributing factors like socioeconomic status or substance issues

        I’m a man. I like being a man. I like the other men in my life. I’m not being sexist, and neither is this comic. You claim I have a negative attitude attached to a gender… I’ve only criticized rapists. Is hating rapists equivalent to hating men? I’ve been very clear in my beliefs and why I hold them, and all you’ve done is some racial what-aboutism. Seriously man, have a think about this one. We’re on the same side - the difference being when I see stuff hating on men, I blame the men that give us a bad name, not the women that have chosen to be cautious around men for their own safety. If I ever encountered a woman scared by my presence, I wouldn’t get upset and think “wow what a bitch she hates men just for being men”. I would become saddened that the world we live in puts women in a position that they fear men.

        contributing factors like socioeconomic status or substance issues

        It’s because of these factors that there is nuance with these kinds of jokes.
