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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

So then he is misinformed, which many people are. I don't put someone into the "enemy" box for being misinformed or stubborn, that's pretty much the default state of most humans.
When you combine ignorance with combativeness you are a roadblock that needs to go.
If he was simply uninformed and sough to learn, he wouldn't trying to make himself to be a victim to 'win' an argument in his head. This is reactionary behaviour, and reactionaries are the enemy.
I just don't know what to say because I was that person before. A lot of people men especially are extremely pigheaded and argumentative, and you can be justifiably upset at them. If your goal is to help women and further feminism though, even a "correct" gotcha like this makes people less receptive to feminism. It's just making enemies out of people who might be wrong, stubborn, and combative, which unfortunately is basically everyone at some point in their life.
I wish more people understood this
