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.

I can somewhat confirm your first statement.
I began my Master's study a few years ago and had to retake a course since I've switched to another university and they claimed that my Bachelor's study wasn't equal to theirs. A female friend of mine did the exact same and had exactly the same education as me. The dean of our new study wrote her personally and said that he will make sure that she doesn't have to retake any courses if she starts studying here. I'm still kinda pissed about that tbh.
Yey, reversed sexism ! That sure will solve every problem !
Can't we just treat people as equal ?
We literally can't, not while the structures we live in are built to benefit men.
Equality will only come with structural change, which at times will look like reverse sexism. But if a woman is hired with half the publications, and it is twice as hard for a woman to get published (just as a fictional example), then it's not really reverse sexism even if it looks like that on the surface.
