    What is happening to this community? Boomer, woman-bad, humor is running rampant. Get it off my lawn.

    Did you ever think that the problem is YOU?

    Here’s a very plain to interpret comic depicting a man and his significant other
    and when she says that she’s fine his inner voice is so attune to her emotions
    that he knows that he shouldn’t just go about his day and take her words at face value.
    His inner voice tells him that something is actually wrong.

    So, you see this and you immediately think “woman bad humor” and without doing
    any critical thinking whatsoever you throw out the “boomer” tag as so many
    do online when they don’t get the joke or are offended.

    The issue is not the comic - it’s just your lack of critical thinking.

      There’s a certain sort who patrols social media calling out racism, sexism, ect., even when it’s not there. Makes 'em feel morally superior.

      In other news, the guy you’re replying to has never in life had a gf, let alone touched a woman.

      K. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

        You miss an /s?

        Cuz if you did, that’s like morbidly worth a chuckle, as that would be doubling down silencing women who is currently being silent, and is crazy. Hah ha.

        Otherwise it’s straight up misogyny.

          No just using the actual Shakespeare quote. Quotes, much like comics, have underlying meanings. The quote uses a gendered word sure but implies that if someone, be it a guy, gal, nonbinary pal, who reads too deeply into something and makes a large post attempting to prove a comic which itself is pretty clearly misogynistic is not, perhaps they have a bit of a guilty conscience that they laughed at it. A guilty conscience needs no accuser and all that.
          I’m confident enough in my assessment. Just because it’s a stereotypical relationship comic doesn’t mean it’s not inherently perpetuating misogynistic undertones. We can do better. If encouraging people to do better offends them enough to make such a stink that’s on them.
