Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

this sub is just as unfunny as /r/comics and nearly as misogynist
Can you explain how this is misoginy? Besides it trivializong periods for the sake of the joke, I don't see the hatred behind it.
Its like saying all lives matter, kind of. I don't think this strip is misogynist, but there should be more to it. "I'm sad all the time" is different than the very real physical pain that women experience during their periods, the general problems women have even *getting" high quality reproductive care.
If the man had said, I'm really sad right now, and she was like, "yeah well I'm on my period," and then the comic would still be about insensitivity, in this case the subject is the dismal state of mental health care.
In fact that's what this comic is about...poor access to reproductive care and poor access to mental health care. They clearly both need help and aren't getting it from our capitalist healthcare system
