SYABM comic 51 “Atwood”

[ Older comics | Chronological order | Subreddit ]



In case you were wondering about the woman’s expression in panel 2, I have been reading a lot of Please Don’t Bully Me, Nagatoro.

I’m not sure why feminists keep quoting Margaret Atwood on this. For one thing, her sample pool was allegedly “some of her friends” and literally one man. Not what I’d call “representative”.

Second, the claim would mean men actually feared women’s laughter more than being killed by a woman, like in this comic. Third, fear does not equal actual risk.

In fact, it’s funny how many feminists keep acting like women’s fears are always justified - as long as those women agree with feminists - but if a man says he’s worried about being falsely accused of rape or sexual harassment, like Henry Cavill, feminists dogpile him and call him a predator, paranoid, or both. Many of them will pull out statistics to ‘prove’ false accusations are rare, and the possibility should therefore be ignored.

I have to wonder how many of those same feminists conveniently missed the statistics which show men are much more likely to be assaulted and murdered by men, and men should logically be more scared of men than women are.

In short, anyone who uses the Atwood claim as proof of anything is probably a feminist ideologue. It’s like Lewis’s Law or “feminism is the radical idea women are people”.

Transcript follows:

Scientist: According to Margaret Atwood, women are afraid men will kill them, while men are afraid women will laugh at them. Here at SYABM labs, we decided to test that out.

Woman: You! Man! Let me kill you!

Man: What? No! Why would I do that?

Woman: Let me kill you or I’ll laugh at you.

Man: [looks indignant]

Man: [looks worried]
