Why would we listen, you just did the opposite. No empathy for those who don't show any.

What the person you replied to is correct regardless of the genders involved. When someone brings up a problem to you, it's a rude thing to immediately respond in ways that make it about you and your own pain. There's a line between sharing your own experiences to establish understanding and empathy and making it the pain Olympics.

Especially in this comic, the man couldn't possibly understand how it feels to have the unfortunate symptoms that come from having periods, and he instantly equates putting up with his partner during their period as equivalent. It's eye rolling on multiple levels.

You're a misandrist and deserve to die like the rest of your subhuman caste.

He never made it about him. You made it about him. Where did he equate it to putting up with her? He didn't, you did. He only explained how he could in fact understand her pain. You are saying he can never express his pain, he can only agree with her, pure bigotry
