Unless you're a short man. Then you're just compensating or have Napoleon complex or something.
- Or Short-Man Syndrome. I have a 6'4" friend who used to joke about SMS, until I pointed out several men we know who behave the same way, but are tall, and asked what syndrome they have. Kudos to him, he started seeing the discrimination, and now uses his "tall privilege" in group discussion settings to direct attention to the short members when the group ignores/talks over them.
- Make you being short their problem when they make it yours. Hot potato that shit

This must be the worst copied image ever. The mouse pointer is visible, the artists name it cut. Why not just show the whole picture like here https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-148723203/view ?
- At least most of the artist's name is still visible, I've seen a lot of comic posts that completely remove it.

When a man gives his opinion, he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion, she's a bitch.
- Are you saying all women that give opinions are bitches? Yikes. Why do you think that way?
  
  He's explaining the sexists' train of thought, not endorsing it himself.

I’m confused, is this talking about the grillies or the kitchenettes?

  The stereotype goes that men grill and women cook. “Grillies” looks like “girlies” at first glance, establishing subversion

Wat?
- The joke is they both wore pajamas to work.
- Boomer humor/"everything I don't like is woke" humor
  
  Maybe, but I'd like to understand the joke / "joke", if there's anything to understand. It could be just "hurdur, I insulted them by saying gender because they're young" or maybe there really is some kind of reasoning.

Anyone who downvoted this is clueless.
- I got the comic but I'm pretty clueless in general. I'm not totally sure what I'm meant to do in that case so I downvoted your comment to be safe.
- Explain it to us.
  
  Women who are assertive in the workplace are described as aggressive, bitches, things of that nature. Men who are assertive in the workplace are described as confident or having leadership skills, that sort of thing.
