Men can criticize modern dating. Any gender can. I’m not saying you can’t. The final frame in this comic portrays strong anger at rejection which is never okay. Sadness? Sure. Disappointment? Understandable. Anger? No. The anger signifies that you feel that the other person owes you something.
Or the anger could symbolize frustration in the fact that any single flaw in a man is seen as a deal breaker meanwhile toxic women receive almost zero repercussions for their behavior.
It’s incredibly frustrating to face constant rejection and constant hate toward your gender as a whole. Yet simply expressing these frustrations is labeled as the actions of an “incel” or a “misogynist” when the reality is the men these women aren’t referring to are fed up with always being lumped in with the minority of men who commit the majority of the shit women bring up.
It’s refreshing to see 4 separate individuals shut stuff like this down. Idk what OC was going for, whether it’s rage baiting or virtue signaling - but seeing 4 people calmly say ‘no you’re wrong’ is nice.
That was more of an insult than a rejection. And even the rejection part of it was something she approached him for. You don’t reject someone who never asked. It’s either a complete lack of social awareness or deliberate cruelty on the girl’s part.
So while I agree that anger isn’t a great response to rejection in general, I think it’s entirely understandable in this case and doesn’t imply a sense of entitlement. A rude retort wouldn’t be uncalled for here.
Also note that there is a difference between feeling anger and expressing it to intimidate. Intimidation (or worse) should not be a part of non-violent social interactions at all. Anger should be managed.
