I feel like if this was a specific character going "wait that's not normal lol" the joke would land better. But as it is the only frame of reference we have is one representing women and one representing men.

And it just all falls flat because women can have mental illnesses too? And yes men are forced to repress it more often but women often have their physical or mental health dismissed or ignored so it's not much better either way.

I'm trans so I'll never face a period but I can't imagine the agony of going through one in addition to a mental health crisis or other sickness. And it's not like women get "period days off" of work or school so you're just expected to push through it.

Now all together: Feeling bad and being sad are things you do not compete at

Why are you all bitching women aren't even real

Men will literally menstruate 24/7 instead of going to therapy

Eh even if you want to bring your own emotional problems into a discussion like this, probably a better way is to go along the lines of "I understand how you feel, I often feel that way too. I find [this method] to be very helpful when dealing with it." bla bla, rather than turning it into a piss contest (or contunuing it if it started off like that).

Also I feel like this comic tries to speak in place of all men. I might be wrong but if indeed so, I don't feel like that all the time. Sure I do feel like that sometimes but definitely not even every month. I got my other problems, I am not problem free, but this is not it. So if this man feels like that all the time, he should probably try to have an open hearted discussion about it with someone who can understand rather than get angry about it. And if the other person makes fun of him for that, maybe he should consider his ties with that person because there are definitely people who are more understanding.

Lemmy: MISOGYNY!

Meanwhile, me, a dumdum: Damn the author has experienced critically low self-esteem...or the joke is as fun as a rock in the field.

Like, either it's self-depreciating/edgy humor or it's not humor at all lol.
