Unity drives clicks. We are in the age of unification. Nothing is "us vs them" and no one is ever fighting. It's so refreshing.

Gotcha! Now you're part of the problem. It's your fault!!

Everyone also thinks or assumes they know better or best. There is no acceptance of other information maybe being correct even if you present solid evidence. They'll just take you for a fool who doesn't know instead of learning anything from who might have more background or experience.

I stopped doing anything arguments online all together because of this. (Happens irl too though but it's far less polarizing)

Advocating for basic empathy is really not a thing that has to be gatekept to one gender 🤷

Are you referring to me, or the comic? (Earnest question, the internet makes things ambiguous sometimes)

Sometimes our emotional batteries run low and we feel like mouthing off (like this guy is doing) instead of being sympathetic. Most people don't, but we can have a bit of a laugh relating to feeling like depicted in the comic. This helps us let out some of our negative emotions without anybody having to put up with them which in turn allows helps us to keep being emotionally supportive to those we care about.

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
