Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.

Yuck. Lemmy has a misogynistic streak and this bullshit doesn't help. The account is less than a day old and I'm wondering if I should block it now or wait and see what else they post...
Edit: there's no joke here. He's saying that men experience an amount of stress equivalent to menstruation on a daily basis. And that is staggeringly pathetic. Women deal with this pain and discomfort one week a month and still manage to live fulfilling lives. Men don't have that the added physical burden and still can't achieve emotional regulation and fulfillment?
Who's the weaker sex again?
you're right, I haven't experienced menstruation. however, your comment makes me feel like shit and makes me irritable.
Explain your attribution of misogyny. Seems weak.
Is "he"? Seems you're overgeneralizing.
I find it interesting that your position is that mens lives are free from repeated stresses. Yes women have menstruation but you seem to be implying that that is the only reason for someone to be emotionally unregulated. Maybe men are just literally emotionally unstable by default. If there is a genetic predisposition for emotional dysfunction are men still evil for not being able to control their emotions? Do we know everything there is to know about the human mind or physiology? Because I don't believe we do. It is certainly interesting that there is such a mountain of evidence that men cannot control their emotions in the same manner as women but the response is always and only "suck it up" and "it's societies fault" and never "perhaps there is a deeper reason."
Additionally and more on topic, the comics talking about one dude personal experience. Why have you generalized it into being descriptive of all men. Sounds like misandry.
This comic is very obvious rage bait that is not designed to be taken seriously and you're taking it seriously. You're taking the bait.
You are the weaker sex if you've twisted SEVERE LIFE ALTERING DEPRESSION as competition, grow some empathy you sexist trash
He's not saying anything about men generally, YOU are.
The man in this comic is talking about himself, not men. Do you think it's not possible for a man to feel the level of stress a woman feels from her period, as his baseline due to mental health issues? If I'm a severely distressed or depressed man, there's not a world where my daily average is on par or worse than a woman on her period?
Can you put your own lived experience on any higher of a pedestal over others?
lol
Anyone defending this "comic" looks like a lunatic. I can't take anything you say seriously.
If thinking men can have mental health issues on par with menstrual stress makes me a lunatic, then I guess that I am a lunatic sweetie π€π₯°
