He's bleeding out of his vagina that often?
-
This might be better than the bear thing to explain to women how dangerous men are.
-
This just in- man struggles with basic empathy, is wildly invalidating for no real reason to a person venting their frustrations
-
This just in- a man speaking for women on what to be upset about
-
Are you referring to me, or the comic? (Earnest question, the internet makes things ambiguous sometimes)
-
You. A rule I stick with is everyone on the internet is male until proven otherwise. However evidence points that you are male.
-
Advocating for basic empathy is really not a thing that has to be gatekept to one gender
-
I didn't tell anyone what to feel, I described the guy in the comic as an asshole (for acting like a dick) in a silly way as if I were a news reporter.
I don't have to be a woman to say that it's a dick move to be invalidating to someone explaining that they struggle with a certain experience. Or to hear them and then immediately make it into a contest. That has nothing to do with being a man or a woman, and everything to do with having basic social skills and empathy.
And I'm "vaguely masculine" at best.
-
Ok then.
This just in- a person telling another person what to be upset about
-
These people both need to sit down and have some empathy for each other.
They could be growing stronger together through their struggles rather than making it some competition about who is worse off. (Which, in this case, the guy has started by not empathizing at all)
My mental health struggles in no way invalidate someone else's struggles.
I hate this kind of divisive bs.
-
Lol. I get what you mean by "vaguely masculine". And my original argument can easily be put into the idea of individual persons going beyond the sexes. Speak for yourself as an individual. Let other people speak for themselves as individuals. Now this is the part where you point out my hypocrisy, and to be honest, it's deserved. However you should people that are going to accept it or reject it speak for themselves. We are supposed to live with the idea that OUR voices matter, so speaking for another person completely contradicts the idea of individuality
-
Umm, what?
The bear thing is women speaking up about how dangerous men are. As in, they already know...

People taking this stupid comic way too seriously in these comments
-
subjectivity is the default. if you assume every statement on the internet is meant to be objective, you'll go mad.
-
It seems odd to assume that the joke I posted was speaking for other people purely because I assumed the voice of a character, and then act like I'm somehow doing something wrong on the basis of that assumption
You assumed I meant other people should be mad about something- I didn't. You assumed I was a man- only in the loosest sense of the word. And then you criticised me for speaking on behalf of others by saying I'm telling women what to be upset about? To be totally honest that sounds a hellofalot more speaking on other people's behalf than what I wrote.
I was being silly about the fact that he sounds like a dick. And I don't agree with the notion that I'm deserving of criticism for your misplaced assumptions.
Regardless, take care. If I see you around lemmy again I hope our next interaction can be less hostile.
-
I'm a little unclear on what point the author is trying to make but perhaps that's because I'm not familiar with this comic.
-
Every statement on the internet is objective. Guess I'm mad
-
Haha. Ok. Why do you carry a condom in your wallet? That's pretty damning evidence that you're male. And you weren't being silly. You were commentating, and now you're back-peddling to say it was fun. I'm not refuting that you want or are a feminist ally, but the whole point is to let the individual woman be offended. When your comment attempted to speak for the whole of women. It's not necessarily your intention I'm arguing, but the action of saying that women in general should be offended at this comic. That is at least the perception you gave. And you can keep saying you were trying to be cheeky, but you yourself also said that context is difficult in these situations
