    Responding directly to the person in the comic

    I hear you when you say that as a woman, you feel societal expectations of you can be harsh and contradictory.

    There isn’t a way for me to experience the same things that you experience, but I can try to empathise with your experiences by comparing them with my own, and noting times when I have felt the same way. This means that I have to compare my experiences with yours. It isn’t done from a place of contest, but from trying to relate.
