It works in that show because the entire family are losers, and they all get mocked by all the others, regularly.

True equality, lol.

Your opportunities in life are absolutely dependent on your wealth. Those hoarding wealth are stealing opportunity from everyone.

What if the wealth you possess was created by you? Wealth isn’t zero sum, it’s created all the time (and at a rate literally not achievable simply by underpaying employees, to pre-refute the expected response). The implied premise of ‘because they have it, we don’t have it’ just doesn’t hold any water.

Also, it doesn’t really make sense to call it ‘hoarding’ when it’s largely/all invested in businesses that run within the economy. To hoard something is to keep it isolated–investments in publicly-traded companies can never truly fairly be called “hoarding”. You could only fairly call the funds kept in back accounts etc. unspent ‘hoarded’.

I don’t know that one is capable of even seriously entertaining doing this, much less actually doing it, unless there’s an eating disorder brewing, at least, lol

This is what obesity* is about

It’s every day.

Already established to be a pretty much meaningless statement. It’s also a fact that mothers abuse children every day, on average, too.

Do you think it’s fair to say mothers “constantly” abuse children, based on the above technically-correct fact?

I’ll bet you don’t. But you’re happy to do it about a demo you’re biased against.

It’s constant.

That’s bullshit. You’re just bad at statistics, and/or letting things like social media warp your perception of reality.

A tiny minority of men react violently to rejection.

Walk a mile in a young woman’s shoes and you’ll get to experience it firsthand.

I was raped by a woman, but you won’t find me making dumbass statements implying all women are rapists because of it, because I’m capable of logical, rational thought.

How’s this for “reality” when it comes to gendered violence: research out of Harvard showed that, among male/female relationships where one of the two ‘members’ is domestically violent and the other isn’t, the violent one is the woman over 70% of the time.

men absolutely attack women every day for shunning a man’s advances

This is a completely weightless statement, considering that it’s true if as few as 365 men a year do this, out of ~4,000,000,000. In other words, 0.000009125%.

Pretty low bar for shitting on half the world, no?

Do we need to start throwing out the stats for how many rapist are men compared to women?

Sure, just as long as you define rape in such a way that female-on-male rape actually counts as rape, which it doesn’t in the vast majority of “rape statistics” that get put out. Quote http://time.com/3393442/cdc-rape-numbers :

And now the real surprise: when asked about experiences in the last 12 months, men reported being “made to penetrate”—either by physical force or due to intoxication—at virtually the same rates as women reported rape (both 1.1 percent in 2010, and 1.7 and 1.6 respectively in 2011). In other words, if being made to penetrate someone was counted as rape—and why shouldn’t it be?—then the headlines could have focused on a truly sensational CDC finding: that women rape men as often as men rape women.

You think criticizing commonplace sexism and harassment in our culture is the same as white supremacists?

I think, scratch that, know, that you are very poor at understanding simple analogies and basic logic.

You’d be the person who, if someone talked about how murder and shoplifting are both crimes/illegal, would say “Come on dude seriously? You think shoplifting is just as bad as murder?”

Acute case of the smooth cerebrum.

Would you also tell a black guy “Perhaps if you are frequently being assumed a criminal, maybe you are the problem?”

Somehow, I have a feeling you wouldn’t. But it’s the exact same ‘logic’.

Mine and friends, yes. I appreciate the sympathy. I’m with the woman of my dreams now, though, so I’m optimistic I’ll never be exposed to it again. :)

Thinking you don’t look stupid mocking people for not appreciating sex-based stereotyping and assuming is the real “lol”.

The extra dumb part is that the kind of guys in the first panel, are invariably not the same guys in the third panel, but the comic is desperate to ‘expose’ hypocrisy by pretending they are. That’s another reason for the male frustration in here–it’s all coming from ‘first panel’ guys, who all know they’re not ‘third panel’ guys.

The idiotic implication that the behavior of other human beings is your responsibility because they’re the same sex as you is frustratingly common.

The irony is that the people who say stuff like that magically realize how invalid the logic is when it comes to any other demographic–you’d never catch them telling black people that black crime is exclusively their responsibility, for example.

Perhaps if you are frequently being assumed an asshole, maybe you are the problem?

This is a phenomenally stupid sentence, lmao. Maybe he’s the problem if people frequently ASSUME something about him? If they ASSUME?

Wow.

This is the exact same logic used by white supremacists to rationalize criticizing black people as a group.

Unless you behave like the man in the comic, this isn’t about you.

‘If you’re a black guy who ISN’T like the stupid violent gangster stereotype I just depicted, this isn’t about you. How dare you be offended at my depiction!’

Seriously, all the same ‘plays’ too:

• lol rofl you think I was actually asking?
• you’re ugly anyway
• (if the rejection is based on you already being in a relationship) she’s ugly, you’ll never find someone as hot as me
• (if you’re single) you’re gay/you’re a f*ggot
• (slur related to your race, more common if the rejected is of a different race)

Not familiar with Matt Bors, I see.

Mid-syllable hyphen >:(

Bad thing happened to my wife 2 times and me 0 times so you’re wrong because my reality is everyone’s reality

Imagine a guy saying “Domestic violence doesn’t exist; I’ve never seen a man hit his girlfriend/wife”, and how stupid you’d think he was for saying that.

Now you know how you’re being perceived.

someone who keeps trying so god damn hard to borrow other forms of oppression to validate their own.

Literally just making things up at this point. You’ve created a very interesting alternate reality in your head about what’s gone on in this comment chain. Enjoy it, I’ll leave you to it. I’m sure that fleeting sensation of self-righteousness will fill the void for a little longer this time.

I will always call out and criticize a person of any immutable-characteristic-demographic saying their bad experience with a person or people of some other immutable-characteristic-demographic justifies fearing all of them. I will always do that because it is always the right thing to do.

That’s the beginning and the end of it, no matter how many nonsensical accusations you try to stick to me for doing so. “Men fear being rejected, women fear being killed” is a deeply sexist statement, period. You will not dissuade me from calling it out for what it is, especially not with your ‘spaghetti at the wall’ attempt to stick some sort of accusation or ulterior motive onto me.

I see right through you.

The only reason I mentioned anything about what happened to me, was to make an example of the fact that if I had made a shitty sexist statement about women and tried to use that trauma to justify it, I would be, rightly, lambasted for it. I did not say a single thing to even begin to imply any sort of comparison of severity between us. Shame on you for that ridiculous accusation. The irony is that the entire second paragraph of your comment is, literally, actual ‘oppression olympics’ behavior–you mention all of that with no point other than ‘we have it bad so shut up’.

Trauma does not justify sexism. Period. And the sexism is what I called out. Just like a white guy getting mugged by a black guy doesn’t get to get away with implying he’s justified in fearing all black people. I wonder if you’d jump to such a guy’s defense, wagging your finger at anyone who calls out his racist statement, telling them they’re ‘dismissing his fear’. How ludicrous.
