- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Who responds like that?
Edit: Removed unnecessary statement.
Are people with short tempers more likely to get angry at people who are bigger than them, or smaller than them? Smaller, of course.
And there you have it. That explains the entire comic. Both women and men can have short tempers, but it's way easier for a dude to scream at a woman and not end up dead. So it happens.
This is why they say that, while It's not all men, it's almost only men. Because men are bigger and it's safer for them to be angry and act immature.
So the stereotype is valid. Don't get butthurt unless you act like the guy in the comic.
I understand what you are saying, and I don't want to invalidate your concerns. I can see now that this comic resonates with women more than it would with a man.
A somewhat small minority of men do actually act like that and thus it is assumed that all men are definitely going to act like that so they don't have to risk danger.
It sucks horribly for both sexes but unlikely to be a better solution really
Yeah, this comic could reflect the feelings of women who were unlucky enough to meet such outrageously bad people, or at least have the fear of meeting such a person.
But to say that this is the rule is, I feel, a stretch.
You need to touch grass and talk to more women if you don't know that most women have experiences exactly like this.
