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.

"Gendered violence against females" on the other hand sounds a bit too clinical though... Like you're removing their personhood
If 'females' wasn't used by online sexists to treat women as objects would it sound that way?
Maybe! I don't know if "gendered violence against men" also has the same connotations.
Maybe this is indeed is a case of those people poisoning the term.
"Don't forget about gendered violence against boys!" would be a likely response to a statement about men.
It is absolutely a case of a term being poisoned, which does mean it needs to be treated more carefully but sucks when there isn't an alternative.
