    Your comment reads like you’re a chastised misogynist, angry that some misandrist is getting away with an equivalent transgression against men and that you think they should be chastised like you were.

    You might not be a misogynist, it’s just how it reads to me.

    Misogyny is bad. Misandry is also bad. They’re not opposites. Too many edge cases.

    But, yeah, the comic is a bit reductive.

      I thought I was being poignant with sarcasm. It’s part of living now and days to be aware of the patriarchy as well as many other oppressions. But when males are oppressed it’s “ok” because it’s true. But it’s not true. It’s a made up narrative by women which is just like what they have been going through.

      Not all men lose their mind over being sick. And I have seen a fair amount show up to work and still do their job. It’s a tone deaf non factual joke.

      I feel like the comic is pointlessly gendered but I wouldn’t entirely call it reductive. I’m NB and when I broke my arm I was fine… And yet I had a mild cold like 2 weeks ago and felt like death.

      I just thought it was relatable even if the gender didn’t match.
