On the one hand, yeah. Fragile ass mother fuckers.

On the other hand? You do learn in gender studies that toxic masculine and such is a systemic problem. Boys need hugs and love growing up that they just don't get, and it produces these soft skinned psychopaths who perpetuate that cycle.

But this is a comics community so it's fine however you want to interpret it for lols. Lol

I was never vocal about it but used to be somewhat a "not all men" type of person in my early 20s. At least in my head.

Then I got diagnosed with autism. Turns out I just don't understand most other men.

I hate sweeping statements in general. I don't like it when people make general statements about women, men, insert race here. Its dehumanizing. We're all just people.

The "sometimes" is totally accurate in this comic though.

I haven't met many people that don't have a fragile ego, honestly. Criticism is hard :/

Everyone who agrees with me proves I'm right. Everyone who disagrees with me proves I'm right.

I've never liked these kinds of attitudes, both against men and women. From the "wife bad" boomer mindset to the toxic "all men are pigs" that I hear people say way too often.

People are people. When it comes to the people I care about, I don't care what you identify as. I don't care what society thinks your "role" should be. You are a person just like I am. I'll treat you the same as I do any other person I care about, because that's what you deserve.

I'll see you as the individual you are instead of these useless preconceived notions based purely on what bits you have in your pants.

I can't wait to see all the people from the comic in this comment section.

What were the odds that all six men in the last panel would be bald?

The patriarchy isn't gonna like this

We should change toxic masculinity to fragile masculinity cuz thats what it really is

And people tend to get defensive when you point out their faults.

Misogyny: people lose their minds

Misandry: pfff, hahahahaha

No, they can be. The problem is as a man as soon as you show any signs of it you're made fun of by women and not desirable. There's a reason guys always say "I'm fine" when asked how they feel, it's because some woman made fun of them an degraded them when they were honest and they learned their lesson.

Works all the times

Back in college a roommate’s girlfriend came over and cooked for us out of the blue. It wasn’t great and she scratched my other roommate’s brand new Teflon cookware with metal utensils.

We politely said it was good and thanked her.

Half an hour later, roommate #1 was berating us because his girlfriend was in tears because roommate #2 and I were insufficiently effusive in our praise of her cooking.

Clearly there are environmental factors that lead to this. Nature vs nurture. There are plenty of well adjusted men that don't suck so it's not an inherent trait. I think it's already happening to some degree, but there needs to be more of a societal change in teaching boys about empathy and masculinity. Not promote masculinity, but to understand it better.

I know when I was young, boys crying was unacceptable. You had to be tough. It's those kinds of lessons that lead to men being not well adjusted adults. As a guy I can obviously relate to this rage bait comic to a degree, but I was fortunately raised in a stable home around good people that taught me empathy.

I also hate generalities, like "all men", "all women", "every person form , so I find it acceptable whenever any person is wrapped up in one that they can defend themselves. It's these kinds of statements like what this comic is saying, that lead to men isolating themselves or turning to masculine echo chambers for support. It's part of the problem. If people want change, they need to act in a manner that allows it. Don't generalize people, listen, interpret, and then act on that information appropriately. Some people can't be reasoned with in the manosphere, but some can. If you want change for the better, then it takes effort on both sides.

sexism...

Great timing to run into this after getting several downvotes on a post about women’s orgasms lol

The usual suspects in the comments, I’m shocked.

SHOCKED I tell you.
