    Where does it say that only single men commit rape

    You mean the punchline?

    But I have seen black people defend themselves when someone brings up crime stats without solutions or discussions of the systems in place.

    Weird how that works huh?

    In college, I saw a sign that said something like 1 in 6 women will be sexually assaulted. Based on conversations with women around me and my own experiences, I’m pretty sure it’s actually 6 in 6 women.

    Before you get upset, yes, I am aware men get assaulted too. That’s not okay either.

    That’s not the punchline. The audience doesn’t even know if the man on the laptop is a rapist, could be a stand up dude.
    The punchline is that you can’t market sex to women the same way you market sex to men. Why? Well maybe you should ask a woman.

    I agree with this. Problem is that it is not done by most men, but this post makes it seem like most of them do or want to.

    Omg we’re so close! Yes they defend themselves because those statistics are being used as weapons in furthering systemic racism. Us making fun of men (once again, not happening in this comic) does nothing but damage the patriarchy, which we agree is good right?

    To be clear, when we shit on bad men - I do want there to be nuance that we are specifically talking about bad men. This comic doesn’t need that because he’s either a rapist or he’s not - but it doesn’t matter because he’s still a stranger and that MAY be dangerous.

    Interesting. I interpreted it differently.

    I saw it as women experience assault at such high levels, that they feel unsafe around strangers.

    Whereas, men see it as an exciting opportunity, full of possibilities. Not necessarily that they intend to commit assault.

    She's locking the door. There's more implication than failing to sell sex to women there

    Its Cyanide and Happiness. The comics history means we can safely assume the dark humor version is probably what they were going for.

    If the take is "men don't care and women are picky" then it's a boomer joke. But it's Cyanide and Happiness, soooo.....

    Knowing this comic series, I think the punchline is that it guns up controversy and people waste effort arguing about it.

    Yeah, man, we were so close.

    And then you went back to being sexist.

    Oh well...

    It was nice talking to you. Maybe one day you'll be able to see you're being sexist by having negative attitudes attached to gender instead of other contributing factors like socioeconomic status or substance issues

    That is way more than just patriarchal society. If a woman would rather be stuck in a room with a bear than a man she doesn't know, there's something psychologically wrong with that woman.

    The only way you'd choose a bear over a stranger is if you have a prejudice that all men are violent or rapists. Because the bear will most likely kill you.

    This post makes it seem that women need to prepare for assault even if not everyone will assault them.
