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.
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.
I live in Norway. While it is less prevalent here than elsewhere, please understand that it still very much exists.
Guess what country the comic artist is likely from...
