Hearing a girlfriend express a lack of confidence because she wouldn't get accosted kind of fucked me up. A moment of realization that the way the world is is so drastically different from the way I want to believe it is, I didn't know where to start.

I try to build a habit of reacting to feeling upset with behavior by thinking up a situation that could lead me to act in the same way, but I really struggle to imagine what would make someone inclined to approach a stranger on the street with this kind of comment.

Totally unrelated, but I've seen comics from this artist before and they've always given me weirdly unsettling vibes. I can't really pinpoint if it's the dialogue or the art style.
