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.

I can't guarantee it, but I'd guess the girl is talking about their period. I don't think that him giving advice is helpful in this context and from your comment it seems like maybe that wasn't how you understood the comic. Just adding that because it seems like your comment has a good intent but might not relate to how some people interpret the comic.
Yea I also thought of the woman talking about her period. Obviously it is impossible for the man to feel sympathy to all aspects of physical and emotional discomfort felt during a period but I was focusing mostly on the psychological aspects in isolation from all the other aspects.
