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.

K. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
You miss an /s?
Cuz if you did, that’s like morbidly worth a chuckle, as that would be doubling down silencing women who is currently being silent, and is crazy. Hah ha.
Otherwise it’s straight up misogyny.
No just using the actual Shakespeare quote. Quotes, much like comics, have underlying meanings. The quote uses a gendered word sure but implies that if someone, be it a guy, gal, nonbinary pal, who reads too deeply into something and makes a large post attempting to prove a comic which itself is pretty clearly misogynistic is not, perhaps they have a bit of a guilty conscience that they laughed at it. A guilty conscience needs no accuser and all that.
I'm confident enough in my assessment. Just because it's a stereotypical relationship comic doesn't mean it's not inherently perpetuating misogynistic undertones. We can do better. If encouraging people to do better offends them enough to make such a stink that's on them.
