      Is it? I don’t see the comic saying “all men are like this.” Could just as easily switch up any of the genders and it’d be the same.

        Sexism isn’t that one comic like this exists, it’s that 90%+ of comics made or shared will be gendered this way around.

            Right? Like all that woman wants is a baby and a bread maker? C’mon. Maybe she should get a job, and friends. I don’t see the panel where she talks to him about her problems.

            There are way more problems than solutions in this comic haha.

              You’re speaking some truth. It’s ridiculous to expect someone to be single-mindedly devoted to their partner. That’s a closed loop that personally drive me insane. Both partners should be engaged with life as well as each other. The man in the comic should focus more on his relationship, and the woman should focus less. And yeah, if she was having that big an issue, she should talk about it. The message here isn’t very thought out. It could even become harmful.
