This happens literally every day. lmao
Really? So people randomly approach you on the street and proclaim they'll never date you?
YES. Literally yes.
I've been approached by men who say I'm wearing too much makeup and that men don't like that. That I should smile more if I want a boyfriend. That my clothes aren't very flattering and it's unattractive to him.
Like, for all your talk of "go outside" you don't seem to know what life is like for women outside.
Not excusing ignorance but it is wild how different the experience of the average man or woman can be just existing in public. It makes sense to me that a man who is largely a basement dweller would have no first hand exposure to that sort of behavior.
You're speaking for yourself, I presume?
sick comeback bro that must go over really well in your middle school
What country?
Mine? America. I even live in a very blue "progressive" area. But I have friends in the UK that have similar experinces. Frankly, why would that even matter? This sort of thing happens all over.
Same in Italy x 100.
America. Typical. I would like you to come to Scandinavia, then. You might get a culture shock.
I mean. Okay? Maybe? But that's not really the point?
I'm just trying to address how unrealistic you thought this comic was. But it is a accurate depiction of a regular experince for many women's lives.
Honestly it seems like you're just trying to "win" the discussion by correcting others. When women talk about the problems they face, it's not helpful for you to go "That doesn't happen".
Well, it doesn't happen.
I live in Norway. While it is less prevalent here than elsewhere, please understand that it still very much exists.
If you were even vaguely representative of Scandinavians, I'd steer clear. Luckily, I have family in Norway and Finland, so I know you're just an ass and are full of shit.
Is that like the American "2% of something" family in Scandinavia? Because that really means very little.
LOL I'm not an American. Your love of strawmen highlights your inability to actually respond to anything.
Well that makes it even worse, then. If you're so ignorant of how reality and normal people behave I suggest not hanging out so much on social media.
Guess what country the comic artist is likely from...
I am not a women but if you go outside with them you will see it.
Any time a woman stands up for anything that a shitty man disagrees with they say the same shit. Every time.
Listen, just because nobody has ever seen you as attractive doesn't mean that's the experience most people have.
I think you got something a little backwards.
Just want to note this bloke took ten minutes to respond and this is the best they came up with.
Yes, because Lemmy is the most important thing in the world. I'll reply in my own time. Not yours.
Boooooring.
