Here is the english version of my now famous “Fallait demander” ; now available as a book with other stories : Orders available here or here or here ^_^ Thanks Una from unadtranslation.…
Along the lines of “not all men”, I actually scrolled down and looked at some of the comments for the first time despite having seen this comic shared numerous times. The thing that stood out to me was a guy complaining about how feminists aren’t fighting for men’s rights and things like funding for testicular cancer… which is epidemiologically a fairly rare and not typically lethal cancer. He doesn’t even care about men’s issues enough to know that prostate cancer is the epidemiological equivalent of breast cancer (and ignores the fact that, albeit highly unlikely, men can get breast cancer too).
Hello, thanks for engaging, I know this is not my space and I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable. Firstly, I acknowledged that men generally do not do their share of the housework. The argument in the comic is that it’s not just the labor, but also the management work which needs to happen.
It was the management that I was trying to address, and specifically, that maybe because nothing outside the house was mentioned in the comic, maybe the management of all of this stuff was simply invisible to the writer. My point was more that as partners, they need to talk to each other (and that’s on both of them). If you ask a husband and wife (eg, like in the comic) about anything and get two misaligned answers (“I do half the work”; “no he does not”), that means communication is not happening.
