Seeing memes and comics like this spread so often, I am having a hard time understanding how SO MANY GUYS are just now discovering that women aren't as horny as they are and we have different standards for attraction between the genders and sexes.

This is fine, it's normal, people who want different things still meet and crank out crotchfruit every damn day, you just have to compromise and meet in the middle on what you both want and ya'll have to get over yourselves.

Gender-ragebait. Just post something about how persecuted you feel and move on.

I love how we used to worry about overpopulation as our apocalyptic societal problem of the future.

Been like that on the internet since 4chan started breeding incels and cranking them into the world.

The best and worst things in the world came from Somethingawful back in the early 2000's, we are still suffering the repercussions, up to and including the election of Trump.

but this post makes it seem like most of them do or want to.

The people commenting on the post are making this implication, the comic itself is bland and dumb and has been overplayed for the last 30 years as a pretty standard joke about the differences between men and women and doesn't really make a suggestion beyond "men and women have different concerns."

The problem is we are all internalizing both perspectives in the most toxic, anti-social ways imaginable and isolating ourselves more and more and making the divide worse and worse every year.

Yep. When will people understand that the only way to a good and just society is to treat half the human population as inherently monstrous from birth? They should just resign themselves to a lifetime of abuse and isolation due to their physical characteristics. Anything else is misogyny.

I promise if you just talk to girls you will meet one who likes you. It doesn't even matter what you're into, there's someone for everyone out there.

This isn't about me, it's about a shitty, abusive message being repeated constantly on social media. Thanks for pulling an imaginary biography for me out of your ass, though. Really helpful.

I'm a man. I like being a man. I like the other men in my life. I'm not being sexist, and neither is this comic.
You claim I have a negative attitude attached to a gender... I've only criticized rapists. Is hating rapists equivalent to hating men? I've been very clear in my beliefs and why I hold them, and all you've done is some racial what-aboutism.
Seriously man, have a think about this one. We're on the same side - the difference being when I see stuff hating on men, I blame the men that give us a bad name, not the women that have chosen to be cautious around men for their own safety. If I ever encountered a woman scared by my presence, I wouldn't get upset and think "wow what a bitch she hates men just for being men". I would become saddened that the world we live in puts women in a position that they fear men.

contributing factors like socioeconomic status or substance issues

It's because of these factors that there is nuance with these kinds of jokes.

Bears are predictable, they will probably run from you or maul you. They don’t kill for pleasure, they don’t keep you alive for a game, they don’t torture you.

The point is a women doesn’t know you, or what your capable of. They do know what bears are capable of.

Women are painfully aware it’s “not all men”. But women also can’t read minds and don’t know your intentions. Can you really blame someone for erring on the side of caution?

Choosing the bear over a stranger isn’t prejudice, it’s avoiding the fear of the unknown.

"Better a xenomorph than a human male!"

Game over, man! Or maybe...

Single X in my area.
Uses the plural form.

Well, which is it?!??

when we talk about men being dangerous, it’s not in a "LITERALLY ALL MEN ARE EVIL RAPISTS" way.

it’s in a "treat every gun as if it were loaded" way.

Yep, that's just how it is these days. Let me ask though, does it really matter?

If the girls are afraid of the guys, that's their problem, not yours. Stick the time into something else you enjoy, let nature run it's course. Find a job you don't hate, spend your money as you like, live a happy life without the anxiety of rejection.

Took me longer than I'd care to admit.

The reason these conversations are so unproductive is because some people take the wildest read of these jokes ("all men are rapists") and get offended by them, when the surface reading ("men like the idea of meeting a random woman, women do not like the idea of meeting a random man") is crystal clear and non-controversial. This joke could be from a Seinfeld opening monologue, it's such a generic piece of observational comedy.
