Looks like imgur is catching on a little.

Listening to each other ABSOLUTELY helps all of us.

Too bad we get banned when we try and get people to listen in feminist spaces.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2014-06-29T14:37:13+00:00

So after "explaining" that sexism against men is really sexism against women redirected, then we need to understand each other.

This smacks of a misdirection. It's message is not mutual understanding. It's thrusting patriarchy theory in your face and feigning open mindedness.

This was literally posted not even a week ago...

"when women are hurt by gender roles, it's because of hate upon women. when men are hurt by gender roles, it's because of hate upon women."

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, there's an effort there somewhere. at least they accept that men can experience things that aren't patriarchal oppressor bliss.

The problem is that this strip boils down to "sexism = misogyny", and men are collateral damage in the war on women.

The idea that fathers are stupid is not due to misogyny. It's pure misandry. Of course, because it doesn't fit the narrative, it's not in the strip.

NemosHero · 2014-06-29T14:36:23+00:00

The suggestion that insults intended to emasculate their target are necessarily calling him a woman is adhering to a weak, gender binary system.

Deansdale · 2014-06-29T17:09:04+00:00

Erhm, this is standard feminist claptrap about how "patriarchy is bad for men too" with a feelgood message added at the end. I don't see how it's good for us. .

unpalt · 2014-06-29T12:34:54+00:00

Too bad feminists will blame men for all of that and respond "This is why men need feminism!"

It's how they maintain zero sympathy for men's experiences.

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2014-06-29T14:07:41+00:00

Hard to work together when one side silences you, cries mansplaining, and sings cry me a river every time you talk in their presence.

I'm sure MLK would have been far more effective if he'd been able to get the segregationists to cooperate with him openly and honestly for the benefit of all. But that was never going to happen.

DavidByron2 · 2014-06-30T05:23:17+00:00

Frames men's issues as a little subset caused by the real issues which are women's issues.

rg57 · 2014-06-29T13:53:59+00:00

Equality, yo.
Seriously, though, this is much better than the usual feminist nonsense.

Methodius_ · 2014-06-29T17:47:16+00:00

Except they're not. I've already seen this on my social media accounts as a "reason we need feminism", instead of as a "reason we need to listen to each-other and try to help each-other fix our problems".

Funcuz · 2014-06-29T19:40:52+00:00

Know what I want to see ? I want to see one of these touchy-feely , kumbaya type cartoons say something like "Grow thicker skin", "Not everything is a fucking crisis", "Men and women can both 'man up'".

I get tired of this advocacy which basically says it's perfectly okay to teach men to be more like women. Why ? Because it's the exact same shit from the exact same basis that got us into this mess in the first place. For a change, don't you think we could suggest that maybe we should introduce a little manliness into the issue ? You know, like "You don't have to sit around holding somebody's hand every time you feel a little blue." ?

I've been hearing that crap all my life about how it's okay for boys to cry, boys can play with dolls too, and if somebody calls you a name it's perfectly alright to curl up into a ball that requires you to get sympathy and TLC from every person you know for the remainder of the month. Dammit, grow a pair. That's for boys and girls !

Addendum : Look, I know this seems like it goes against what the message here is supposed to mean but for the love of god, why are we always insisting that boys need to be more like girls ? Can't we turn that around a little at least half the time ?

DeviouSherbert · 2014-06-30T06:36:54+00:00

So I came here from TrollXChromosomes. I thought this was a cute comic that inspired us to work together. After reading some comments, at first I thought, wow, they DON'T like this comic? What is wrong with them?!

But I kept reading and I do get how it's sexist now. It's so difficult to see sexism against another gender when you...aren't that gender. I kind of had my mind blown because the sexism in this is so blatant but I didn't even see it!

It's insane because I know if it was flipped there would be an uproar! I guess I'm just surprised by how much sexism I am "opened up to" everyday. There's just something new to be upset about all the time.

unbannable9412 · 2014-06-30T00:15:44+00:00

I really don't have alot of faith in women's ability to empathize with men.

The very nature of this pathetic little comic strip proves that.

It's just feminist rhetoric about patriarchy theory rebranded with some feel good overtones.

codeverity · 2014-06-30T07:27:35+00:00

It's ironic that a comic about how people need to listen to each other has been met with comments that dismiss and attack it. There's little discussion about the message at the end.

AtomicBLB · 2014-06-29T13:00:27+00:00

Right in the feels...

TheLibraryOfBabel · 2014-06-29T19:15:47+00:00

Funny how you guys hated this very same picture when it came from a feminist tumblr blog. Just goes to show that your dogmatic attachment to ideology trumps any desire for equal gender rights.

Le4chanFTW · 2014-06-29T15:14:04+00:00

Notice how practically no one is even remotely receptive to this. They just hunch back into a passive aggressive stance and bemoan feminism as the problem, just like always.

I'm against all forms of cultural marxism, including feminism, but at least I'm capable of making posts that aren't filled to the brim with a bunch of bitching about it. Seeing this kind of stuff just goes to show how sad and pathetic you are as a group. Nothing but groveling and whining even when something that tries to be optimistic and hopeful is getting posted.

B+ for the effort, OP, but the people here are self-righteous ideologues, just like feminists, and just like feminists, they'll never extend an olive branch in an attempt to gain peace and understanding. Next time just stick with Facebook screencaps of teenage girls talking about how much they love feminism.

keeead · 2014-06-30T00:32:23+00:00

But I thought the rule was that men can't be victims of sexism?

*goes and checks feminist rulebook*

Yup, right here in the front.

apullin · 2014-06-30T06:17:45+00:00

This image is current at the top of /r/TrollXChromosomes , and is still #4 on /r/MensRights . What a world!

(I'm saying this is good, not bad)

NWOslave · 2014-06-29T18:42:04+00:00

Yeah put on a frilly dress and play with dollies, that'll make you equal. Nothing like racing to the dregs at the bottom to be equal with, it's so much easier. Why not shoot a little higher than dresses, dollies, gays and trannys? What's the difference between this site and any feminist site? Not one damned thing. Sometimes the term man up applies, if you're fighting to not be shamed for wearing dresses and stuffing Barbie dolls up your ass it's time to reevaluate your priorities and man the hell up.
