As a dude, I can’t really either. But it should also come with the words, “in public.” At least in my experience, women are just as gross. Just not where everyone and their sister is there to note said behavior*.
*:observation void in groups of female friends hanging out with no one else around. There will sometimes be discussions that are nasty enough to make Bob Guiconne’s head spin. Exceptions also made for long term significant others – there’s only so long you can hide it as much as they’re around.
Well of course there is. That went in there more for the crowd that sees dudes and super gross and immediately feels that true converse must be that women are sweetness and rainbows and never gross. Unrealistic, if nothing else outdated as all get out, but you still run into it a surprising amount of the time. Was well aware that that wasn’t particularly where she was going with it in the comic, just kinda made me laugh and comment as to the common phenomenon you get when people say this kinda stuff.
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.

…no. You really must not get it.
There’s a difference between a conversation between trusted friends, and things you suggest to someone you just met.
