I post anything that makes me happy, interested, curious, angry, inspired, aroused etc. And I will be posting my thoughts and rants from time to time. They are not popular beliefs and they will offend some, and for that I'm sorry in advance.
When I started being open about my bisexual shit. I expected a lot of weird reactions from people and any new friends I made. But what took me by surprise
was the way women looked at me differently. Instantly, I had become less of a threat. I got away with saying shit. No one assumed I was being much of a pig.
At first I was offended. It pissed me off, and still kinda does. That people look at me differently just because I like to suck a dick occasionally. But after a bit of thinking I realized that it was more about people almost forgetting my gender, rather than seeing me differently because of my sexuality.
They had sorta, forgotten I was a guy. Which is totally weird but it makes sense in a way. Because most “guys” are douchebags and pigs. Prone to cat calling and mindless bs. Or at least that’s the general assumption most people have. And when people saw I was gay (part gay? Semi queer? Part time fag? I’m going with part time.) They assumed I didn’t fit into that manly man stereotype. Because we all know queers aren’t real men! So people separated me from that cat calling, pig archetype as well.
So it forced me to think about how fucked up the image of being a man is. The mass pop of men are assholes, that’s just truth. But I never noticed how much it darkened the reputation of EVERY MAN. That no one escapes the shadow of what other men do. No matter what your moral standings are.
It’s an upsetting thought. But it makes things more complicated, and I’m a sucker for a challenge so I guess it’s fine.
keith urban just had a gay moment
u mean thats not billy ray cyrus
can I just say, what if they did this to a female contestant? you realize the shit storm that would happen? but because it’s a dude this is okay?
That last comment has a point, if that male judge had told some woman to whip them bra-covered titties out for a chance at fame, there would be blood everywhere from feminist heads exploding.
But, I get it. The demographic for American Idol isn’t straight men of any age range, They not out here checkin’ for us.
Agreed! But I don’t think OG feminists aren’t willing to pounce on sexism in general. Not every one of them is a semi or full on man hater. But I don’t think they’re looking out that hard lol.

Love this, except you should never stop talking about sexism until it’s actually gone. Fuck the patriarchy!
I really like this comic (the art especially is great) but the only way we move forward in comics about sexism is to keep making them! Don’t give up!
I don’t think they’re saying to stop… I think a lot of women are tired of fighting. We’re tired of having to defend our value (yes, I am a girl; this doesn’t make me worthless!), and then being told we are even less valuable because we do so. It’s frustrating. It’s sad. I think, more than anything, the comic writer was trying to show how defeated she feels, and how discouraging all this is. And so. *hugs*, comic writer. We feel you. We understand.
I agree with Rachel. That was the whole point. But, we gotta keep fighting the good fight. Even if it results in this, more often than not.
This has got to stop. Seriously.
I’ve always loved this comic. <3
This is the most insulting thing I have ever seen in my life. Why is this crap even around? Can’t anyone see the double standard of this bullshit!? How all it does is make men look like children and pigs and idiots? While women are completely right and perfect and intelligent.
You are ultimately doing the same thing you’re claiming men do to you. If you claim you hate sexism. Don’t use this sexist stereotypical bullshit to make your point. Who cares what people do to you. Be the bigger person and don’t be a hypocrite. Two negatives don’t make a positive.
