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.

Even if you truly believe that do you really want parents and society and the patriarchy continuing to enforce this shit for more generations?
Even if you believe in innate biological differences (which most people do) I still don't want the principle steering my daughter into nursing and my son engineering because he's too fucking lazy to do anything, repeat ad infinitum for every little bit of inherited "wisdom" every had decided they need to pump back into the world constantly.
If you want to get into jobs, look at stats for which genders did which jobs 100 years ago and then look at the data for today. Basically the same list. Mostly men are still fixing power lines and mostly women are still working at schools. The differences in biology make for different strengths and weaknesses and there's literally nothing wrong with that
Also I hate to say this but the patriarchy is what allows feminism to exist so I think we are on a pretty good path right now
OK great but let people choose, not systems.
We do get to choose. And people still tend to stick to what they did before they couldn't, interestingly enough
