Its like saying all lives matter, kind of. I don’t think this strip is misogynist, but there should be more to it. “I’m sad all the time” is different than the very real physical pain that women experience during their periods, the general problems women have even *getting" high quality reproductive care.
If the man had said, I’m really sad right now, and she was like, “yeah well I’m on my period,” and then the comic would still be about insensitivity, in this case the subject is the dismal state of mental health care.
In fact that’s what this comic is about…poor access to reproductive care and poor access to mental health care. They clearly both need help and aren’t getting it from our capitalist healthcare system
Can you explain how this is misogynist? Besides it trivializing periods for the sake of the joke, I don’t see the hatred behind it.
E: Fixed spelling aneurysm.
