Incidentally, while I don't see any better possible plot resolution at this time, I'm struck again that this strip would never "work" if gender flipped. Lily and Max have said/done things that would come across as monstrous were they male, while Jamie's self-effacing submissiveness would ...

The milk of human kindness! I am a bit surprised Lily actually thinks it is possible to derive such a resource from a male. Perhaps her misandry does not reach as deep as previously assumed. She does have a lot in common with Lady Macbeth. I bet she'd think it necessary to unsex herself for commitin...

Apparently, women have human rights in this universe, and harming Ellen would actually be illegal so Lily could be sure that Jamie gets arrested in this case. That would mean this comic definitely does not take place in the US. However, her certainty that his fellow male inmates would be violent doe...

Awww, group hug! Jamie really should have removed his hands. Pretty generous of Lily not to even say something about the fact that he literally has his hands on her breasts. ... Note that Lily has NOT apologized, has not expressed any sort understanding of the wrongness of her actions. She has showe...

Related: Tem, quit misgendering people. That's really, really fucking rude. Like, "comparable to calling a black dude the N-word" levels of rude. You are the one who calls women "cis". That's comparable to calling a black dude the N-word, as it implies that any woman at all iden...

I'm morally against the idea of "trans people must disclose before X" for any value of X but practically speaking, the majority of people are not accustomed to the idea of women having dicks and it's a really fucking bad idea to just spring it on them like that with zero warning. The fact...

I recall a lot of people mentioning a common phenomena of men doing the "insert kindness, get sex" thing during discussions involving Lily, and I just want to say now that what Lily is doing is pretty much the same thing. Don't believe me? Let me show my work: Lily has said before that se...

That reminds me of this thing I recently read on tumblr. It was apparently posted by a person named "transgender-uber-alles". so last week i went out on a second date with a woman that identified as a “lesbian”. we met through a dating site. i hadn’t told her i’m trans, nor should ...

Jamie is incorrect. That's not male aggression Lily displays here. I know that because she sounds a lot like my mother. Doing too much for other people all the time, and then getting angry because you (rightly) feel exploited, but aren't actually aware of that feeling. Often triggered by completely ...

What's that? Steer clear of criticizing certain current politicians' Ussing and Themming? Don't compare the othering of immigrants to disastrous isolationist policies in history, or transgender paranoia to literal and metaphorical witchhunts? Just stick to commenting on the strip itself? Well, if y...
