    Misogynistic drivel.

    Woman: I’m suffering

    Man: I have it worse!

    Shut the fuck up and listen. If someone says they’re suffering you pay attention to their problems not make it a contest.

      She wasn’t merely saying, “I’m suffering”. The comic starts with, “you don’t understand”. It starts with her dismissing the comiseration attempt.

      This highroad is cute and all, but it’s grossly ignorant to reality or the fact that there are no heroes in this comic: It is not one side being dismissed. It is both sides failing to communicate. They are both talking past each other.

      You do undermine your own point a bit by trivializing men’s suffering in the same breath as demanding nobody trivialize suffering.

      The comic is bullshit for sure but you did exactly the same thing it did.

        There is no real life situation where the proper response to a person crying in your presence who claims they have it bad is “I have it worse”

          A rich teenager crying about how they’re not getting the brand new car they wanted for their sweet 16.

            ah okay you got me, but that does not at all make this comic not mysogynistic. There is none of that context here. I dont care about this dudes opinion

        He ignored her suffering and diminished it saying that for 5 days a month she feels what he deals with every day. He’s ignoring her point and one-upping her. That’s toxic behaviour that doesn’t help anything.

        That he is also suffering is a separate conversation that also needs to take place but that’s a different conversation. The first step is resolving conflict is by listening to the other person’s point of view, not dismissing it as less important.

          They’re both being toxic in the comic, so trying to play it as if either is more correct is being disingenuous and is a massive source of the confusion in this discussion.
