- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yes, and I'm saying there are prominent feminist voices advocating for specific approaches and helping boys navigate the world, with only incidental benefits to women (who avoid being abused by those men). They're publishing books, running workshops, providing online resources for these specific things.
Feminist organizations dedicated to protecting women's reproductive rights are also distributing condoms that go on penises, even for men fucking other men.
Maybe they are motivated by the "knock on" effects on women, but it's very clear that feminist organizations and advocates are doing things to address problems that only affect men and boys.
I'm talking about actual things we're doing, not just hypotheticals.
I'm mainly arguing against a narrow view where addressing problems is thought in terms of the demographic identity of the recipient of that help. Organizations try to tackle problems, and trying to gender code the problems and solutions I think is counterproductive.
