Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Literally taken, that phrase means a variety of Masculinity that is toxic. That you would assert using toxic as an adjective implies that all masculinity is toxic is bizarre. When I say Tomato Sauce, that doesn't mean that all sauces contain tomatoes. That means that tomato sauces contain tomatoes.

I will admit this gets over alleged but you're off base on what this means as well. Mansplaining is a pop culture term first off, not a Feminist one. And it specifically describes men who explain things to women that women have first hand knowledge that men lack (such as having a period) or offering an unsolicited explanation to a woman because they either assume the woman is ignorant or unintelligent on account of her gender. Often the recipient of mansplaining has equal or greater knowledge of what is being "mansplained"
