The following comic wouldn’t be funny (I think it’s hilarious!) if it didn’t play into common stereotypes about, especially, young roughneck men. I happen to be one of those people who thinks that in mass culture stereotypes don’t just unfairly describe the targets they also, unfortunately, may also set expectations in the targets themselves. (If I may meta-stereotype for a moment, I’ve noticed that young men tend to be very influenced by pop-culture characterizations of… young men.)

I think it’s okay because there’s a third man, the writer, who’s quite sensible. I think it’s a comic about these two dumb guys, not these two guys who are dumb because they’re guys.

Still, you’re right about that attitude. The post title I want to write sometime soon is “Feminism is the Radical Idea that Men are People.”
