    No, I’m taking her anti-men comics to be anti-men. The multiple posts she made on men’s health month and the many posts and comments about male sexual assault victims. It’s really easy to search this up, you don’t have to sit here and ask me about it.

        There was really only one:

        https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1dpptkk/talk/

        The comic received a lot of hateful, abusive comments, like people saying they hope the artist is raped…

        … and some reasonable responses pointing out that re panel 3 that is exactly how people (men and women) often react to men trying to share about their mental health

        And re panel 2 (rape/robbery metaphor aside) male rape survivors are often not believed, told they should have been able to defend themselves, and in the case of female-on-male rape told they are lucky and should be grateful, that getting sex is always a good thing for a man.

        She responded to these comments badly, in particular belittling several male SA survivors who shared about their experiences.

        The reasonable comments were kinda lost in a sea of abuse, so I understand her overreacting to an extent

        And she more or less made an apology comic next week, where I appreciate the sentiment even if the dialogue is quite on-the-nose:

        My verdict, she doesn’t hate men, she just made a mistake on one occasion.

          Thanks for sharing her followup comic. I agree with your verdict.

          The whole topic is tough to approach. Trying to tackle it with a comic probably wasn’t a great idea.

          As a man, this comic is 100% accurate.

          My partner is an AFAB enby and is struggling to get surgery for ovarian removal. They had a partial hysto a few years before we met. Before they had that surgery, while single and not wanting to have 48 day periods anymore, several male doctors delayed it because “Well what if your future husband wants kids? You’re going to deprive him of that?”

          They never wanted kids. We’ve been married 8 years, we’re never having kids. My partner was sexually assaulted in high school. When she reported it, the male principle asked them “Well, what were you wearing?” They were sitting in front of him in a baggy sweater and track pants.

          PC’s take in this comic is a turn of reality. Men genuinely do talk to women like this. They don’t take their health serious. They’re over reacting or emotional. It’s all in your head.

          Any man who sees this comic and takes offence to it, congratulations, you’re the fucking problem.
