Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Wat?
The joke is they both wore pajamas to work.
Boomer humor/"everything I don't like is woke" humor
Maybe, but I'd like to understand the joke / "joke", if there's anything to understand. It could be just "hurdur, I insulted them by saying gender because they're young" or maybe there really is some kind of reasoning.
What it seems like the "joke" is at:
If you are assertive but a man, wokes will call you aggressive. If you are assertive but a woman, wokes will applaud you.
Or so I understand the underlying logic, can be wrong ofc.
I'm pretty sure the joke is the exact opposite, that the same behavior that's treated as assertive if a man does it is treated as aggressive coming from a woman.
That does sound like a right-winger 🤔 Best guess I've seen so far. Thanks.
It's actually a comic strip by Judy Horacek from 1999 about how assertiveness in women is viewed as aggressive and discouraged, while it is encouraged in men
Thanks. @Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net really should've provided a source...
