    This is a fascinating thread. It’s a dumb joke…if it’s even a joke. Seems like the author was just expressing annoyance at obvious problems being ignored, and the frustration of being asked about menstruation before the more obvious problems.

    But comment after comment is skipping over the bulk of the comic strip and going right to being outraged about something I didn’t see the comic imply: that the question shouldn’t be asked.

      Yep, exactly. I think it’s a reflection of a greater interner trend, to get annoyed/outraged etc. about your perception of something, and then argue with people who challenge that perception.
