"9k upvotes on: "a bitchy girlfriend making a scene in public is ABUSE AND IS TOTALLY AS SERIOUS AS A WOMAN BEING RAPED AND BEAT UP AND TERRIFIED":"

Being slapped is abuse. The comparison between being raped and being slapped comes from you, not the comic or any of the top commentors.

Also your description of that second link isn't accurate either.

"Swedish study suggests hiring discrimination is primarily a problem for men in female-dominated occupations"

Is that really so hard to believe? It's just an article about female-dominated occupations, not society at large.

I think you're in a mode where you have to attack all "enemy arguments" no matter how modest the point being made is.

Being slapped is abuse.

I guess your and my definition of abuse is different.

Anything can become anything...... if you make the definition large enough. Some kids on the internet claiming touching a woman's butt is "rape".

Being slapped is abuse.

That depends on the context. I remember my older sister disciplined me by slapping my hand, LIGHTLY. she let the internal shame and child naive level understanding of myself and the world do the rest of the "damage". Apparently that's abuse by some parents standards. I was spanked as well but I never had a red ass.

The comic was showing that a woman was abusing a man, the slap was a part of it. Unfortunately people don't often look at context.
