I have generally enjoyed this community, but this comment section is bursting at the seams with the misogynist bitch types in cell #3. So quite a few people have earned the Misogynist Bitch label from me, and some of those had high upvote scores from me. I’m very disappointed in many of you and I hope you all try do better and be better in the future.

The final cell of the comic, in which the woman says “That’s about what I expected.”

You could have posted anything else but you had to post rage bait. Nice.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

all this account does is post ragebait, no comments at all...maybe some kind of bot account?

None of the men who say the things in panel 1 are the same ones who say the things in panel 3.

Men are not a monolith. The panel 1 men are on your side re the panel 3 men. Don't push them away with sexist generalizations.

Also, women do this plenty as well (google "nice girls"), you just don't hear about it as much, even though I suspect the % of women who do it is comparable to the % of men (if not more, which I think may be the case, based on the second bullet point below), simply because women experience a lower absolute number of rejections, as a sex, than men do, by virtue of the following:

  • They do the approaching far less often on average. Only the 'approacher' can be the one who gets rejected, after all
  • On the absolute scale, men are definitely less likely to reject a woman who approaches them, than the other way around
    • This means women in general have less experience with rejection, and that likely leads to being less likely to handle it maturely, on average
  • I'm also fairly sure men are also less likely to publicly 'call out' a woman, when she does react poorly to a rejection, than the other way around

And for a mini-anecdote along those lines: I've personally been called the f-slur for rejecting a woman who propositioned me while having a boyfriend I was aware of.

Comic is ragebaiting. The artist isn't looking for discussion and the people supporting it as some "truth" aren't either.

Call a spade a spade and don't bother engaging. The people that peddle this slop arent feminists... They are certified sexists that just want to retaliate against everyone and think they are somehow beyond reproach. Its shit behavior and it needs to stop being tolerated.

Social commentary in comics? Can you imagine THE HORROR if Scott Adams criticized people who are bosses?

I'm all deep offend.

Idk man, I had a very reasonable discussion with the commentor you're responding to yet I support the comic. If you look through the comments here, they're absolutely chock full of people patiently explaining their perspective, and then comments like yours which are openly dismissing those people before ever engaging with them. You're being unfair, in a way very similar to what you criticize the comic for doing.

Some of the men in panel 1, will also act like the men in panel 3.
