Read more of my comments. I support fair, living wages and eliminating tipping.

That’s what I meant by fair wages.

I completely agree.

Which is why I think tipping should be eliminated.

Yep which complicates the conversation because all wait staff aren’t the same.

So you have bartenders in big cities scoffing at the idea of eliminating tips while there’s waiters in small diners barely surviving on minimum wage.

I’m admittedly talking from a personal experience living in a HCOL area that does not have a lower wage for wait staff. Wait staff are paid $17.13 at minimum here and that’s before tips.

So it is area dependent. Probably.

I live in a very HCOL area and that probably has more to do with attitudes on tipping anything. Wait staff in this area can easily earn wages that are much, much higher than minimum wage with tips.

For example, the state in the US I live in does not have a lower base pay for wait staff. They’re making at minimum $17.13 an hour before tips.

You ask wait staff if they prefer a stable wage or receiving tips. The overwhelming majority of them will want to keep tips.

It would be better if we eliminated tips overall and paid fair wages. But the people who directly benefit will still fight you on it.

Is it misandrist to recognize that some men react this way?

I have no patience for men who barge into a women’s conversation with “well actually” - it’s not my job to drop everything and find the root causes for why they’re acting this way or to help them feel validated because they got their ego wounded when two women were existing without acknowledging their presence.

Men with fragile egos can do the work to become better without women hand-holding them. Better yet, more stable and secure men can step in and help their brothers rein it in.

This user enjoys telling everyone in womensstuff that we’re misandrists. I do enjoy when they reveal we live rent free in their head 💕

The comic says nothing about putting women up on a pedestal.

Is it misandrist to correctly identify that some men react to women talking in this way?

The comic is giving context for the conversations here, apologies if I misunderstood. Just wanted to make it clear for the many folk here that have missed that the comic is not generalizing all men.

This comic is not shitting on men. It’s shitting on men who have fragile egos.

I didn’t claim you were upset or offended.

And it is also true that some men have fragile egos.

Those type of men love to “well actually” just like you did here.

Which men? Men whose egos are fragile. You can acknowledge that some men are like that without being one of them yourself.

If you’re not the type to generalize or stereotype, then the comic is not talking about you.

It’s not generalizing all men. Just men whose egos are fragile enough to be offended when this type of interaction is pointed out.

The comic doesn’t generalize all men. It literally says sometimes men’s egos can be fragile.

“Sometimes men’s egos can be fragile” does not mean that all men’s egos are fragile.

Ohh do share with the class
