Gabby's Playhouse: Discussing Sexism on the Internet

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.

	Not to be too flippant, but how about we replace the offending "I want to have your babies" with "I want to adopt kittens with you"? Not much danger of misinterpretation there. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 16 comments) (Show 16 comments)

	This is now going to be my go-to phrase for complimenting people. I will, in fact, try to find an opportunity to use it as soon as possible. How should I cite my references? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Thirded. I will now be replacing the "have your babies" meme with "crime-fighting" in my lexicon. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	See, I toldja... such comments can be all well and good in the so-called 'real world', but here, in S_D, our minds are much more polluted... I THANK THE LORD FOR THAT EVERY DAY! :P (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I am picturing vikings raising a toast, swigging mead from disembodied vaginas. It's kind of gross, actually. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)

	I read a book that had a disembodied vagina in it... it ran about on little feet. It was only disembodied some of the time, though, the lady came apart into pieces. Also I think the lady may have been Joan of Arc? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	It's called Blown and is by Philip Jose Farmer. Also, Gilles de Rais is a snake with a paralyzing bite who lives in her vagina. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Don't worry, I was expecting you to do it! :) That's why I liked so much that valtyr said it. Be unpredictable, 's what I always say. (Actually, I don't think I ever said that before). (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
