- 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).

This metaphor doesn't make sense when you think about risk analysis. If we are comparing humans to alligators here then let's say you go up to 1000 people and put your arm out in front of them. Now do the same thing with 1,000 alligators. Is it more likely that the alligators will be far more aggressive? Probably. Now until this experiment is done we'll never know but that is the reason why your alligator metaphor.
All fine and dandy but that's not what they were comparing it to
Then what were they comparing it to?
Rejecting a man. In public. And experiencing something bad in return. Like the title and comic in the post and your previous reply all depict.
Obviously also not gonna be closer to the alligator analogy than just going up to random people and sticking your hand out in front of them for no reason, and you know that. Don't play dumb. Unless you really, truly do not understand the concept of an analogy. In which case, it is time to put the phone down and start paying attention in your language arts classes.
Good points!
But I think the saddest part here in the first place is literally "othering" half of humanity as "likely carnivorous reptilian predators."
Like, damn, what a sad, lonely world.
Yes, wouldn't it be nice if more men could get their emotions under control and stop hurting and murdering people?
