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.

Every man we meet could be a rapist.

Including the ones we already know.

Statistically speaking, especially the ones we know.

It is!

Except for missing the "I wasn't offended so sexism doesn't count" ladies, who are often quite a feature of debate regarding feminist offence.

Just came back from a brisk round of that on another fan board.

Thankfully, vodka exists. It was very helpful afterward. :/

This is not remotely a reality in my life as a woman.

Ok. But for many women it is, and for good reason. For example women who grew up with a family member who was a rapist, or women who suffered partner violence, or y'know, any woman who was raped and just wasn't expecting that.

Those experiences can put one a little on edge.

Or any woman who lives in an apartment and has no choice but to walk her small dog after dark because not to do so could be considered animal cruelty.

(And I didn't live in an apartment when i got the dog but I had to move to a gated community to hide form my ex, in case anyone wants to say "Don't get a dog if you live in an apartment")
