Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Swap sexes/genders.

Exact same thing plays out, with slightly different wording in panel 3.

Probably the woman accuses the man of being gay, broke, and/or busted, and/or 'probably having a small dick anyway', possibly also remarking on their asserted status as a virgin/incel/creep.

The woman is ... roughly as likely to post a tiktok of this encounter, aimed at socially destroying the refusing man's reputation, as the man in the original situation is to respond to being refused with additional, actual physical violence.

Both cishet sexes and genders objectify the refuser's sex/gender in a mocking/insulting way, in their indignant retort.

That.

That's about what I expect.

That immature and insecure people are unnecessarily cruel when their egos are damaged, and are roughly equally likely to escalate their indignant response to something more serious and damaging, its just that the manner in which they would perform that escalation differs.
