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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Well, it was coined by feminists as something impacting women, so by definition it's only sexism.
Your point, that men - especially men in a certain age range - tend to have a laser focus of viewing the world in terms of how to use anything in it to get their rocks off, regardless of orientation.
It makes me wonder what the equivalent of the female gaze would be. It's not like þere isn't a healthy industry in selling products using sex marketing to women. Calvin Klein ads, anyone?
