    Yes, I did explicitly address that. This is a hyperbolic presentation - nowhere does it make the claim that all men who say “Women need to be more honest [etc]” are hypocrites, it presents the situation that men who say “Women need to be more honest [etc]” are so often hypocrites that the narrator is unsurprised when this once again turns out to be the case.

      It shows the same man saying two hypocritical things, followed immediately by the woman saying that the panel 3 behavior is what she expected from the man saying the panel 1 statement.

      Yes, it absolutely does make the claim that ‘panel 1 men’ are hypocrites. It could not be more obvious.

        But it textually says the opposite of what you’re saying it’s claim is - it says this was an expectation, not an assertion. Nowhere does it make that the claim you’re claiming it claims. Saying “this is commonly the case” is not the same thing as saying “this is always the case”.

          it says this was an expectation, not an assertion.

          The comic ends not with an expectation, but with the statement that an expectation that already existed was correct. In other words, ‘it was correct of me to expect a man who says women should directly/honestly reject someone, to react badly when I directly/honestly reject him’

          She is absolutely indirectly asserting that it is correct to expect ‘panel 1 men’ to hypocritically exhibit ‘panel 3 behavior’.

            Alright and while you may disagree with them, that is beside the point: where is there a logical fallacy? It does not make the assertion that all men are X/Y or that all men who say X will say Y, it makes the assertion that their expectation, that a man who does X will often say Y, was correct. That is not a logical fallacy.

              it does not make the assertion that this scenario is hypocritical therefore all men are hypocritical.

              nowhere does it make the claim that all men

              not the same thing as saying “this is always the case”.

              does not make the assertion that all men are X/Y

              You keep using the word all or always unlike the comment. Did you know some generalizations aren’t universal?

              are so often hypocrites

              is a generalization that doesn’t follow from the composition fallacy.

              Consider a pile of coins. Some have heads side up, some have heads side down. It doesn’t follow to any level of generality that coins simultaneously have heads side both up & down.

              The comic depicts a pattern of conduct as sensible to typically expect: that’s a generalization. Based on what? Faulty generalizations are the basis of stereotypes. Unfounded assertions, faulty generalizations, & stereotyping are fallacies.

                I’m not sure what you’re getting at, my reasoning is consistant across both this and the linked comment; was that what you meant to link to? My entire point has been that generalizations are not inherengly universal, and the ones in the comic especially so. Which you appear to agree with? I’m genuinely confused.

                That reasoning also runs counter to the greviances DamnedFurry was expressing with the comic.

                And you’re expressing yet more fallacies, without establishing the applicability of those falacies to the situation. Nor are stereotypes a fallacy (what??), and neither is this a fallacy of composition or a faulty generalization.

                However the implication that the existance of fallacies renders the conclusions of the comic invalid is a hilariously classic example of an argument from fallacy so there’s that…

                  Not in any way telling you what to do, but these dudes aren’t listening to any logical arguments that anyone here is making. Feels like a lot of them don’t know that many women either, laughably. Maybe it’s due to living in the Bible belt for so long, but most of the women I know have run into this (comic) exact sort of guy.
