      Idk who the creator is or how this is generally perceived by women, but it is interesting to see women displaying misogynistic behavior after revolution against men for the same. It’s like a fucked up sign of progress.

        Idk if it’s misogyny exactly, I’m not sure what to call it but I don’t think it’s misogyny. Just because she likes to see the giggle doesn’t mean she thinks any less of the other women, she could even hold her in very high regard. Objectification, sure, but not misogyny me thinks.

          Misogyny aside, there’s nothing in this sentence that is gender-specific other than the pronouns. We should recognize it and call it out regardless.

    Huh, for some reason I just noticed how it’s ok to sexualize a woman if you depict the one doing the sexualizing as also a woman. Like, if this comic depicted a male in the drivers seat rather than a woman it’d be a serious problem because men finding women attractive is not good but women finding women attractive is good and funny.

    Maybe… I know this idea is kinda radical but stay with me… maybe it’s ok for everyone to be attracted to someone and to a degree sexualization of the gender one is sexually attracted to is absolutely a normal human experience no matter what you identify or were born as? Huh…

      I think it depends on what you mean by sexualize.

      There’s probably a lot of power dynamics and agency involved, too, but I’m too tired to untangle that knot right now.
