At first, I thought people were exaggerating by calling her comics a strawman, as the situation mentioned in the comic above happens too commonly.

I did a little digging and found this deleted thread.

To my surprise she turned out exactly like people she seems to be calling out.

Edit: added url

Edit 2: She didn't respond and went radio silent on people who shared their experience and called her out.

Edit 3 : Found this in the same thread

lol, this feels like the convo in a nutshell…

Alice: “Bob, I’ll bet you could never imagine what it would feel like if X happened to you.”

Bob: “Actually X has happened to me.”

Alice: “Jesus fucking Christ, Bob! Not everything’s about you!”

Yeah she’s quite toxic actually. Literally exactly like the people she calls out but from the other side of the pond.

The panel you linked was such rage bait because while some standards are different, both genders get away with their fair share.

I’m an attractive guy and I’ve been assaulted for refusing to sleep with a girl at a party. And when the owner of the house saw her kicking me (hard af) he assumed I was the one that did something to warrant it. Took several people to convince him she was the aggressor.

I’ve had my ass grabbed in public numerous times. Half the time it was a group of women and I had no idea who it was.

Had some girl kiss me at a bar by yanking my head so hard I almost fell off. Never met her before in my life. Everyone cheered.

Had some girl yank me by the arm to the bar to get her a drink and then throw it in my face literally 2m later when another girl accidentally bumped into me. The bouncer said I should probably leave. Me.

Woke up in the middle of the night and a buddy’s place to find a girl I met earlier that night trying to undo my belt. I told my gf and she got upset at me saying I must have done something and that no girl would ever do something like that.

My personal favourite was my 60 something creative writing prof in first year that spent the entire 20m of our meeting in her office literally undressing me with her eyes to where I bailed on a bunch of things I wanted to discuss because of how uncomfortable I was.

Been honked, cat called, told to smile, asked why I’m not smiling, or called “gay” because I wouldn’t go home with a girl more times than I can even remember.

I’ve seen the worst from both sides. Everyone with either a testicle or an ovary can sit right the fuck down.

Practically literally undressing
