As much as you may be right that both men and women are experiencing this, the post was talking about how women experience it

Right, but if I made a post about how "Men poop," and women came in to say "women poop too," it would make complete sense. Maybe we should be talking about how everybody poops and everyone's poop stinks at that, instead of "women's poop stinks, no men's poop stinks!"

We're not talking about basic biological functions here. We're talking about issues that men and women may experience differently. This example is apples to oranges.

Except it isn't though. Take cases like the last thread I can recall on lemmy that could have inspired this comic, the french protesting against that one guy who had people come rape his wife. The front facing image of that post was a woman holding a sign that says "not all men but always a man." What this sign should have said is "rape is bad," instead it pretended the two women who raped me don't exist and that I'm guilty by association of my genitals instead of a victim like them for going through the same thing they did. What's more, I'm told to shut up and let women speak at best, usually with one or two "well you must've liked it," or "what're you, gay?s" thrown in for good measure, yet the second you say a woman must've liked it or what is she a lesbian you're still the problem, can't beat em, can't join em. Even better, nobody says "shut up and let men speak," we say "stop generalizing us as abusers for having penises," and that is met with "shut up and let women speak."

I'm sorry that you're unable to parse metaphors, but everybody poops.
