So, recently Kate Beaton made some comments on Twitter about how sometimes guys that like her work will respond with comments she finds creepy/uncomfortable/offensive.

Gabby's Playhouse then did a webcomic entitled "How Every Single Discussion About Sexism and Woman-Type Stuff on the Internet (and real life) Has Ever Happened And Ever Will Happen, Always, Forever, Until the Earth Finally Falls Into The Sun. (Or until the patriarchy is finally dismantled.)"

I don't quite get that last panel, but the rest of it is kinda recognizable.

And I believe you are correct. But the risk associated with art like this is that some people will focus on something and take away something that wasn't the author's intent, and I was trying to explain why someone might read it that way.

Except that your comment did not come across as referring to a subgroup of people possibly seeing it as such, it came across as your being the spokesperson for all men, who are all lumped into one category. The miscommunication arises from this.

Although, to go off on a tangent, that's the risk associated with ALL art. E.g., I doubt very much that Leonardo da Vinci was hoping that he'd become the titular theme of a series of books on paranoid arglebargle and foofarah when he first painted The Last Supper.

"WHAT STRANGE LANGUAGE IS THIS?"
"Um. English, backwards."
"GENIUS!"

Yes, this! I was just going to make almost the same comment.
