I want a penny for each time this happens worldwide

totallymadethatup · 2010-12-18T22:54:21+00:00

My wife was reading this over my shoulder and then gave me the look of disapproval. It didn't get really bad til she saw me upvote it.

rollinrollinrollin · 2010-12-18T22:31:13+00:00

That sums up my ex-girlfriend pretty well.

Every time I mentioned something she fucked up (like wrecking my car 3 times) I'd get chastised for making her feel "guilty" about it, but yet she never seemed to feel guilty enough to try and make it up to me.

You know guys, you can stand up for yourselves. Women aren't some mythical mind-melting monsters. You can tell her you don't like what she's doing, you can leave her if you want. It's not that hard. There are plenty of women out there who are totally reasonable human beings.

jakethrocky · 2010-12-19T02:44:26+00:00

every time I realize I have a perfectly rational girlfriend, I laugh a bit inside at all you sorry suckers. then I call her and make sure she knows I care :)

EvoEpitaph · 2010-12-18T23:34:01+00:00

I'd say for the male to also use the line "I already feel bad about it stop making me feel worse" but then the female would come back with something about the male suggesting she is a bad person.

gandhirs · 2010-12-18T22:38:38+00:00

I want a penny for each time this comic appears in reddit.

Drillbithead · 2010-12-18T23:19:42+00:00

I don't feel this is really an issue of Men's rights, this is simply saying:

"Women, can't live with or without them, am I right? Yeah, you know."

It always makes me feel like the true difficulties some men face in the world because of gender inequalities becomes trivialised.

Belongs in r/funny, not here.

daftpunkfunk · 2010-12-18T23:35:49+00:00

What's wrong is that losing a dog is so much worse than breaking a lamp.

2010-12-18T23:37:19+00:00

Your bank would hate you. "Hey it's me again, the guy who exchanges pennies every week, got some more for ya."

Japeth · 2010-12-19T00:49:41+00:00

Give some credit to the creator.

Also, and I'm not saying it was you who did it OP, what kind of asshole purposely crops out the watermark? Are they determined to give the artist absolutely zero fucking credit? Sure some way to show you like their work.

rantgrrl · 2010-12-18T22:56:32+00:00

Yep. I definitely recognize this dynamic.

ShakeyBobWillis · 2010-12-19T00:29:12+00:00

You'd have as many pennies as the person who got pennies when the exact opposite happened!

ultim · 2010-12-19T02:15:44+00:00

This can be a sign of an abusive relationship. I have seen it guy-girl and girl-guy many times.

Sickso2 · 2010-12-19T08:09:35+00:00

Funny thing though the exact opposite happened to my mom. Dad said something stupid and upset her and she called him on it and he said "now your making me feel bad" lol

charlie6969 · 2010-12-18T22:31:09+00:00

Well, you just might get rich that way.

TheLobotomizer · 2010-12-19T00:46:58+00:00

Why is this in men's rights?

What does this have to do with the rights of anyone?

Edit: Sorry MR, but this is the last straw. -frontpage

Mystery12 · 2010-12-19T00:29:37+00:00

Bet ya she shot the dog and said she lost it. Physco. I had her profiled from the first set of pictures. I knew the dog was a goner. Thanks criminal minds for helping me solve this puzzle. To the batman mobile robin.

Imaperpetualvictim · 2010-12-19T01:02:01+00:00

Boo boo beh beh beh boo boo-hoo cried Pantagruel

enso13 · 2010-12-19T11:22:22+00:00

This isn't a men/women thing, I've experienced my share of both genders doing this shit. That said, at least this comic makes the woman AND man look stupid.

ex_ample · 2010-12-19T11:37:20+00:00

This just means the average /r/MensRightser is a fucking pussy. It should be called /r/Dickless.

thenwhyamidoingit · 2010-12-19T00:57:01+00:00

This will be the last time I ever read a 'men's rights' post. There is so much relevant ground for this subreddit to tread, unfortunately it almost never does.

JayTS · 2010-12-18T23:17:21+00:00

For me, it's more like this:

Guy: "I'm sure this won't catch on fire." Guy: "Crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap!" Girl: "I can't believe that you set the cat on fire again." Guy: "I'm sorry. I was trying to put out the drapes." Girl: "Oh, I'm sorry that I'm mad at you." Guy: I'm sure THIS won't catch on fire."

cryptogirl · 2010-12-19T14:34:06+00:00

This is so asswards -- women are conditioned to apologize for everything. If we seem to expect irrational apologies, it's only because we're so used to making them ourselves.

Realworld · 2010-12-18T23:56:31+00:00

Proper response if you screw up: glare at it for a few seconds, say "Mistake" and clean it up.

Proper response if she screws up: look at silently for half a minute, open your mouth to say something, sigh and clean it up.

Both responses leave her without ammunition.

a_true_bro · 2010-12-19T01:28:51+00:00

But that's their strength! Emotional ~~manipulation~~ intelligence.

they also have a male hypocrisy version, but I don't agree with it at all. http://www.thedoghousediaries.com/?p=1771

Their girlfriends probably made them write it. Girls are crazy.

yumwafflez · 2010-12-19T00:19:34+00:00

In an unrelated story, a redditor by the name of Zorbius was crushed by approximately 3 tons of pennies this afternoon while browsing the internet.

Lavarocked · 2010-12-19T01:27:48+00:00

You know, this is pretty frequent but ah, we're not exactly talking about using the word "and" here. The scenario has probably played out, what? a few times you can remember? Do you want the pennies because you want a five dollar foot long, or a giant mansion? I'm just saying the payout is going to be slow. Take a quarter.

2010-12-19T01:50:38+00:00

I want a penny for each time this is posted.

wellwereboned · 2010-12-19T02:18:27+00:00

Yeah! If I had a penny for every time someone ended a sentence with a preposition, I'd be one rich son of a gun.

Nunaya · 2010-12-19T07:33:57+00:00

I showed this comic to my sister, and she admitted openly that this is exactly how those situations work.

Her response, however, was that when males are sick, they exaggerate how sick they are. When females are sick, they don't complain or exaggerate as much as men do.

What does Reddit think?

JustMadeYouYawn · 2010-12-19T07:47:51+00:00

Just saw a video that disproved this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX9Z65pImsE

The girl was actually made to believe she dropped a TV that the boyfriend dropped.

asus3000 · 2010-12-19T09:38:57+00:00

This stems from a double standards we place upon males. Females are seemingly entitled to special treatment in many situations.

I see the double standard all the time, and nobody notices.

Liverotto · 2010-12-19T12:13:26+00:00

If you want that many pennies you better talk with this guy.

evenlesstolose · 2010-12-19T17:21:53+00:00

I just want to put it out there that this isn't a trait of women, this is a trait of an abusive partner :(

If anyone is going through this, you don't need to put up with it. This is not a normal, balanced relationship. Don't stick around for someone who treats you like shit.

2010-12-19T19:45:03+00:00

there's a word for guys like that. they're called pussies. i don't feel sorry for them.

i'm guessing OP should spend more time on /r/mensrights.

tondog69 · 2010-12-18T23:07:31+00:00

man, men have a difficult time .

The lamp has effectively died, the dog is still alive (presumably). You should all have your dogs chipped anyway.

That's one manly female.

SwirlStick · 2010-12-19T02:18:59+00:00

There aren't enough pennies my friend.

Buckwyld · 2010-12-19T02:28:28+00:00

Happened to me today. :-(

2010-12-19T03:23:23+00:00

you'd have at least like $16 by now....

gabriot · 2010-12-19T03:25:23+00:00

see that's where they guy in the toon and I differ. On the last tile instead of saying "I'm sorry" it'd be "Oh fuck off"

toastyghost · 2010-12-19T04:14:25+00:00

there wouldn't be enough pennies

Rednys · 2010-12-19T06:22:18+00:00

A + C + D = C B + E + F = C

Figure that one out!

Kardlonoc · 2010-12-19T07:36:51+00:00

Whats really bad about this is if you stand up for yourself there is a good chance she will find this grounds for leaving you.

Its pretty much emasculation at its finest. To break out of if stand up for yourself anyway. While I don't 100 percent believe in the adage of "Real men never apologize" if one side isn't willing to apologize you should not feel obliged either.

enso13 · 2010-12-19T08:34:00+00:00

I don't know why its so hard to get an "i'm sorry" out of some women. Some of them seem to think they do no wrong.

CornBearFunk · 2010-12-19T14:28:51+00:00

The vagina is a mystical tool.

dhv1258 · 2010-12-19T16:33:42+00:00

Ah, the true meaning of marriage..

aphovasse · 2010-12-19T01:35:22+00:00

That's the way it's always been, and the way it will always be. Get over it.

douch_bag · 2010-12-19T01:43:31+00:00

thank you thank you!!! ive been looking for this for soo long!!!!

I am waiting for another pic, with this pic, and then five hilariously racist images below it to be posted, signed "a female" as if to make a point.

I want a penny for each time this happens worldwide [FIXED]

saintazzy · 2010-12-19T04:12:54+00:00

You know what? I'm going to do this to every woman that tries to pull this stunt with me. I'm just going to retort with what they say.

100rp · 2010-12-19T10:10:25+00:00

You get 1 penny, first penny after 1 minute, next after 30 seconds, next after 15 seconds and so on. You will reach infinite pennies before 2 minutes have passed, but at what second do you reach infinite pennies?

golden_slowpoke · 2010-12-19T03:14:59+00:00

Men can play the feelings card but we choose not to.

Stop whining and learn to be emotional. Wait...

2010-12-19T07:05:03+00:00

I wish I could afford to display this on TV during the Super Bowl just so everyone could see pure, unadulterated truth.
