    At first, I thought people were exaggerating by calling her comics a strawman, as the situation mentioned in the comic above happens too commonly.

    I did a little digging and found this deleted thread.

    To my surprise she turned out exactly like people she seems to be calling out.

    Edit: added url

    Edit 2: She didn’t respond and went radio silent on people who shared their experience and called her out.

    Edit 3 : Found this in the same thread

    lol, this feels like the convo in a nutshell…

    Alice: “Bob, I’ll bet you could never imagine what it would feel like if X happened to you.”

    Bob: “Actually X has happened to me.”

    Alice: “Jesus fucking Christ, Bob! Not everything’s about you!”

      Which deleted thread? The link takes me to an entire post and scrolling through that many comments seems a bit pointless.

          Thanks! I see both their points. The comic clearly was intended to point out women’s issues but if men resonate with that that’s fair too. There was a lot of gross stuff though in the rest of the thread(s). I wouldn’t say pizzacake was totally out of line, but it wasn’t particularly empathic, the way she responded. The comments by defensive men though… very wrong place, wrong time.
