What up, it's Webcomic Wednesdays!
Did I just make that up? Maybe. But hey, alliteration!
So this comic is based on an incident that happened 2 weeks ago, but is certainly not the first, last, or only time it's happened.
Also, full disclosure: if I see even ONE "but not ALL men!" comment, I WILL personally throw you into the sun. Those comments (of which I have received plenty, both in person and online so it's not even anything new) are a) not helpful, b) not helpful, and most importantly c) not helpful. Thanks.
Anyways, pretty much as the comic says, I decided to go for a walk, decided to be friendly and return a greeting, and then was immediately propositioned. Really? The guy at least had the decency to say "Okay have a good day" when I declined, but still. Has this line ever worked on anyone? I'm just trying to get some small exercise in and meditate on my day, please leave me alone. Just because I said "Hi" back doesn't mean I'm interested T-T
Funny enough, I actually watched a video of a woman who decided to answer affirmatively to these catcalls. One of the men asked her if she wanted to get married and she answered "yes. Right now" and he had no idea how to respond. In fact, most of the men in the video were clueless with how to act after she "took them up" on the offer. Makes you wonder on the actual motivation...
I'd consider doing something like that if it weren't for the numerous cases of random men attacking women for rejecting them...yeah...I'd rather stay safe and just ignore them. Better safe than sorry. Or dead.
But enough on that. Let's see the sketches!
