    I mean I’m a single straight dude and I’m pretty much certain guys are trash.

    So while not all feminists might think that, I could give them plenty of examples of all guys being trash

    Edit: a bit too many of you took this way too seriously, it’s a fucking comic strip.

    Yes not all guys are trash, but the number of times I have to call my friends out on something like “women expecting too much of us because they get paid less.” Like no, women expecting equality is not expecting too much.

      You’ll get it for real when you realize it’s not a “men bad” thing but more of a “people bad” kind of thing. Everyone has the capacity to do wrong, and a lot of people choose not to overcome that. Men are just typically in more of a position of power to be able to do larger acts of wrongdoing, and have historically either been punished lightly or not at all for many insidious crimes because of their predisposition to power.

        This is exactly it. My wife had a father that was like my mother and I recognized the BS almost immediately. As bad as my mom was though she was more limited in bullying her kids being female and could only do it indirectly with my dad. Her dad though kept up being a significant negative influence for her well into adulthood. Her worst experience in life despite male power came from a female friend.

      By that logic all women are trash too. I could give examples of just about every woman I know doing shitty things. Nobody’s perfect. People do shitty things. Sometimes it’s just here and there. Sometimes it’s a consistent pattern of behavior. All men and all women are not consistently bad, some are. If your friends are consistently like that you have bad friends. I have had to explain shit to my friends on occasion and I’ve had to have things explained to me. It happens but it’s far from a consistent thing and we’ve all gotten better as we’ve grown and broadened our perspective.
