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.

Actually it is a regular thing among the asshole "manosphere" crowd (i.e. the pathetic fucking losersphere).
I can see this as a twitter exchange for sure but irl it seems very shower thoughtesque. It could be that a very online person framed it as an irl thing and that what's jarring.
Then again I am not a woman and cannot speak to that experience.
You've had this conversation?
No, but I thought about having it, so basically the same thing, eh?
There is a whole generation of men being indoctrinated right now that believe women shouldn't have any rights. Most feminist women on Instagram that I have seen have gotten a multitude of rape and murder threats.
It is nice for you if you never noticed the rampant sexism and general hatefulness that people on the internet show against any minorities they find but I've seen several instances of similar exchanges as shown in this comic just in the last two weeks.
Sure, misogyny exists. I'm talking about somebody referring to themselves as "high value" and calling the person they're talking to a "loud-mouthed, opinionated wench". It's just really heavy-handed dialogue.
Those people unironically say stuff like "I wouldn't even rape you" and call women that don't look like they are about to die of anorexia fat. They exist in spades, Lemmy just isn't the right kind of social media for those people to come out with such stuff (except for maybe this post).
