I like the style; the yellow speech bubbles and the trembling white membrane outlines around the characters. There is an acuteness to it--somehow I read all the sentences as ending in exclamation points even though they don't. It's also intriguing to me that the woman challenges the man to see past his preconceptions while at the same she ostensibly sees him in accordance with negative male stereotypes as a festering murderous demon.
To man's defense: most of us are not cruel and indifferent to other people's feelings, we are just not very bright and can forget that other people have feelings at all. Reminders like this can be infinitely valuable. I hope one way or another this dude, no matter how detestable he might be, found out how you feel.
And I'm sorry you had such an intensely disquieting experience; hope you are a bit better now.
When I went on the defensive it was not because I felt offended but because I felt guilty, partially because of the picture itself but also due to the other comments here. Even if you think I misinterpreted your work I think the male gender could do with a stab every now and then, not as a punishment but simply to keep it on its toes.
Clearly this guy was a uniquely bad sort and I'm happy he obviously didn't impair your faith in men too severely.
There is something to be said about a society that finds a man pursuing a woman as chivalrous while a woman pursuing a man as a whore. Or better yet; watch your back, check your car before getting in after dark and walk faster if you are being followed, not 'don't rape.' Things are honestly stacked in mens favor on an underlying level so unfortunately, I have found most men to be so far up on high horses they are often beyond reason.
/pap/ It's okay though, there are many women around that make good friends, most willing to help you out when you need the hand. And to be honest, if that guy really was that way, he was probably gay and trying to hide it~~~
IM sorry about your experience tho! thats terrible and UGHHh when men act that way it makes me really mad omfg.
And I this particular person was just really nasty in general saying things about how all the women he knew were whores and they're useless except for when it comes to sex; yet he thought I was different because I was "technically still an innocent little girl" in his eyes. and just??? ughhgh
