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.

It is a regular occurrence. Ask your female friends about it.

You’re tired? They’re exhausted. Toxic behavior from aggressive men caused this collective fatigue.

Unless you behave like the man in the comic, this isn’t about you.

Maybe instead of pretending this super common thing doesn’t happen, you could encourage other men like I am doing right now.

I hear you. However I think the overall angst is geared towards the perspective that this is most likely outcome from men. I know there are jerks. But we are not all jerks. And he seems to have been told many times it's assumed he will be a jerk.

This is the exact same logic used by white supremacists to rationalize criticizing black people as a group.

Unless you behave like the man in the comic, this isn’t about you.

'If you're a black guy who ISN'T like the stupid violent gangster stereotype I just depicted, this isn't about you. How dare you be offended at my depiction!'

Totally the same thing /s

Come on dude seriously? You think criticizing commonplace sexism and harassment in our culture is the same as white supremacists? You need to listen to some women more often.

I think, scratch that, know, that you are very poor at understanding simple analogies and basic logic.

You'd be the person who, if someone talked about how murder and shoplifting are both crimes/illegal, would say "Come on dude seriously? You think shoplifting is just as bad as murder?"

Acute case of the smooth cerebrum.

Lol

Wow you totally destroyed me with that made up argument and things I didn't say, after I clearly described the differences and spelled out my view. Clearly you have a point and aren't just being overly defensive.
