I really don't think the comic delves deep enough into feminist concepts for the fundamental differences between men and women to be particularly relevant. It only has the modest goal of discussing how social pressures guide the way we judge emotions.

More related to the thread responses than the comments, but I never got the argument that something can be dismissed because it's a basic analysis of the subject being discussed, especially when the general population (at best) barely acknowledges it. It would be one thing if it was used in an academic discussion among people who study these things as a career, but in a public discussion, especially on the internet, it's glib to invalidate something like this as too simplistic.

I'll give that this doesn't deserve it's own thread (assuming the feminism thread still exists), but my point still stands.

People are being glib because someone posted a new thread for a single subpar comic about some surface-deep philosophical argument. That doesn't mean the argument is bad, it's just that there's really nothing to talk about.
