    I usually like these comics. This one made me wonder whether there’s something wrong if men see women like that. As beings that know uniformly how to judge what a good man is. A form of objectification perhaps? A bit like how some people used to think Melania needs to be defended from her husband and can’t herself be that bad. Nothing wrong with the comic but I guess it just made me uncomfortable at another level than that of the main joke.

      Nah, you’re reading too much into it. I was dating heavily during and after the pandemic and so many women would have never spoken to me if my dating profiles were antivax. (Or right-wing, I might add, in a hard-right area.)

      I wouldn’t go so far as to read objectification into it but there are definitely a lot of women out there against vaccination. So yes, I agree it’s one of the weaker Cyanide and Happiness comics.
