Man can’t even explain why he understands her pain without shitheads like you mocking them. He never said her pain was lesser, he was explaining his own pain, grow some empathy
Edit:actually I’m not fucking done. This is why men suffer in silence, this is why we avoid therapy our problems are mocked, emotional trauma and mental illness are character flaws instead of something to be treated when men have them
Just like man/bear, the difference is this one can be interpreted as pro-men in its sentiment which tends to shake the tree, making examples of the Empathy Gap fall out
He says that he feels like this all the time, while she only feels like that five days a month. Sure, he is not saying that her pain is lesser, but he is saying that he is suffering more. And that is what (most) people here mock. That this comic suggests that men suffer more than women. That responding to someone explaining their pain with “actually, I suffer like that all the time” is childish behavior. This isn’t about men sharing their pain, it’s about the one-upping what she is saying.
Power: Bah, you’re just complaining because you’re a woman.
Man: I too am experiencing pain.
Power: Bah, you’re just complaining because you’re a woman.
Transwoman: I too am experiencing pain. Hunh… Maybe I am a woman.
Power: Nope, you’re just complaining because you’re a wom-, uh… man…? Er, wait… how do we patronize you? What the…?
Transman: I also –
Power: Stop! Just… Stop thinking and feed the machine that makes us powerful, damn it! Fuck’s sake, this was so much simpler when we could just claim divine right.

It’s an unfunny edgelord comic. I get the point, it’s just not funny.

You wouldn’t say this if it were reversed and you know it, this entire thread is a screaming example of the empathy gap towards men

Yeah no that has nothing to do with the comic
The comic is seemingly intentionally ambiguous as an attempt to provoke consideration.
Definitely filters sexists out that’s for sure
