Let's not forget they can blame anything on PMS. If their boss is male, all they have to do is call in with "female problems" and there are no questions asked, and they can get laid anytime they feel like it.
Unfortunately, a woman cannot blame anything on woman problems without seeming weak and unable to perform her job.
Having breast are interesting as an adult but they hurt like bastard when they grew. I couldn’t sleep on my side or stomach and lets not talk about the torture devices know as bras.
Truthfully, I am happy to be a woman because I don’t know anything different. However, I think being a guy is probably better than being a woman. No childbirth! Getting to peeing while standing up and being able to have as much sex as I can but not be called a slut. Controlling the world and my only qualification is peeing standing up.
This happens to be my birthday comic, as I was scrolling through your archive at the end of my work day I was eager to see how clever my day of birth would be.
As a chick, I can easily agree that being a man is far easier, physically and emotionally. Which is why you guys have two vulnerable organs hanging from you. I think the higher power intended to constitute some sort of balance.
maybe i can help with a few more.. we don't puke when we get hit in the crotch, we don't NEED sex as often as most men do, and we can multitask alot better than most guys do.
Reading through these comments showsa huge difference between men and women. See if he jokingly insulted men we would chuckle and move on, realizing that it is a joke in a comic strip. Women on the other hand feel the need to whine about how wrong it is. So here we have another disadvantage, no sense of humor.
*Shrug* I’m guessing you’ve just misplaced the fact that maybe if we weren’t constantly being assaulted with media images and such that make us doubt ourselves then we’d be a lot happier about sexism.
As it is, it’s kind of hard to laugh at something as great as this comic when we’re tired out from trying not to cry because of photoshopped women in magazines.
I can grok that sentiment. Men aren’t typically assaulted with impossible expectations. Of course, I’ve also met women who seem to just blatantly ignore those expectations. I think it’s got a lot to do with how they were raised.
Parents shouldn’t force little boys to become voids of stoicism and emotional solitude before anyone will respect them (technically possible, but not healthy), or make little girls think they have to constantly work toward being as pretty as airbrushed models before anyone will like them (impossible, and very unhealthy). I know it can work because my older sis and I aren’t like that at all. We’re all pretty confident, without even thinking about those things most of the time. I’m not afraid to cry when I feel like it (but I’m also not a wimp), and my sis’ didn’t bother to shave her legs through most of college. xD
If a man says something that favors men-sexism.
If a man says something that favors women-noble.
If a woman says something that favors men-oppression.
If a woman says something that favors women-progress or at least misguided way of searching for equality.
OK, let me just say this one thing (in two words):
Multiple Orgasms
Aaand out.
We get those also, we just have time for a smoke,a nap and some sportscenter between them.

Agreed. All a woman has to do is point to the bed [or anything] and tell them man to get nakkers…
It’s like a light switch. 🙂
Both of you are very, very much incorrect.

Wow, a lot of these comments display a shocking failure to understand eother men OR women.
Funny comic, though. I do loves my purse! Though I occasionally go billfold-style when I don't feel like carrying it around. Especially at work.
HAHAHA god, even though ^^ are all correct, this comic is still absolutely hilarious. my friend and i get in this argument all the time. classic
Although I don't exactly find this comic offensive, I do find it a little, shall we say… half-baked.
no one expects women to be strong, so they never get asked to help move and if they do, its ok to opt out of moving heavy stuff

SOMEone’s never been hit in a really uncomfortable place… As a female… But I love the comic, really.

We don't feel the need to act macho, either.
Boobs!!! You couldn’t think of boobs?!?
As a natural D cup, I believe boobs are a blessing and a curse.
Advantage: Big boobles! Nobody doesn’t like fun bags!
Disadvantage: You will never fit in a suit of armor.
And that’s terrible.

And boobies, don’t forget the boobies.
so much feedback! though some is cliched, your fans are still a great people- polite, intelligent, well-read. You must be proud!
ps: my husband started our phone call this afternoon with “are you reading the bug?”
That’s awesome!
Also: nearly all guys are invisible.
Boobs. Don’t forget boobs.
Being a girl I know a PRIDE is (with a small bit ‘o help from the men) supplying the human race with babies.
