      The alarming part is that the comic was made as simple as possible without treating it’s intended audience as children and it still went over you’re head. But I’ll attempt to explain it for you in adult terms.

      The first half of the comic is saying that being a feminist means pushing for egalitarianism with a focus on the unequal treatment of a particular group in the same way that doctors often focus their education on a single area of anatomy. A general practitioner knows about heart health but not nearly as much as a cardiologist does. But no one accuses a cardiologist about being indifferent to your foot health, they just recommend you to a podiatrist because those doctors focused their education on feet.

      Some people truly fail to grasp this but even more people either oppose equal treatment between genders, are contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, or treat any criticism of how society treats women as a personal attack against them. That’s the second half of the comic.

        Don’t have to be a dick about someone not understanding something. Hope you don’t have kids FFS.

      Your lack of reading comprehension is alarming. The comic is pretty direct about what it means.

        And yet I don’t get it. Why do you have to be an asshole to people who struggle. Do you bully everyone in your life too or just on the internet?
