- 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.

Sure, that doesn't seem to be true?
Gallup found the following:
Women are also more in favour of less restrictions on abortion (e.g. from X weeks) than men.

What's so bad about men from New Mexico?
Ah, yes, the pinnacle of masculinity: whining that people fighting for their survival and freedom didn't pay enough care to the feelings of people who didn't think their struggle was all that big of a deal in the first place.
Maybe if you weren't out to spite the people who you believe have beef with you specifically, you'd realize that the struggle against patriarchy benefits men as well, but you'd have to recognize that there are plenty of men that are specifically marginalized by those that up hold their preferred version of masculinity is the only valid way to be a man.
Or, you could skip all that and blame it all on women hating men because some depiction of a woman said something mean to a depiction of a disrespectful man and take it to have meant you specifically, I guess.
Why are you ranking genders? Did you spend time under the impression that men were the better gender? Can you even see how fucked it is to relegate an entire gender as second class? If you bought into the idea that women were somehow less than you by mere virtue of being women, can you not see how they might bear some justified disdain for you specifically?
No, I don't see men as a "lesser" gender, I don't see women as "lesser", either. They are simply different ways of experiencing the world, and the near coin flip odds of what the doctor will say when they check your genitals for the first time isn't gonna be the way that I determine who are worthwhile people.
There's more to masculinity and manhood than fitting the awful mold that the hegemonic powers have set out for us. If you stop trying to "win at gender", or whathaveyou, maybe you can become the sort of man that doesn't take gender as a zero-sum game
I never thought women were lesser. I thought we were equil. But now I see men are inherently shit.
Am I blaming women? News to me.
Why don't you give us proper grammar?
Edit: username makes sense.
I actually agree with you. Men did a terrible job of things, and now we have to deal with the patriarchy. Movements like 4B have been a long time coming, but I worry that men as a whole aren't mature enough to clean up their act. Time will tell.
When your existence makes half the people in the world uncomfortable you are kind of a dick for living.
