Boy aren't there a lot of these sexist comics floating about the last few months.

So, what, is this basically engagement bait?

Doesn't really seem sexist to me: the man has misunderstood the situation and thinks the woman is interested in him. The woman has misunderstood the situation and thinks the man is likely to be aggressive. It's kind of symmetrical in that way.

Except it's yet another comic that has been posted here that is about how women fear/must fear men.

Women do fear men; commenting on that isn't (automatically) sexist.

The comic isn't saying women should fear men because there's nothing to suggest the man is predatory.
