Her credentials are ultimate feminist icon have kinda fallen apart when we learn that she will sleep with a man she entirely morally disagrees with just cause he has confidence…and its so easy to trick her into sex its not worth showing how it was done!
Bad guys talk her into bed OFF PANEL! FAIL!
Oh calm down kitty-bot, she wanted to get laid, the guy was pretty good looking, and he was smart and engaging as well. There’s no harm in enjoying a night, though if she doesn’t foil his evil schemes by the time the next date rolls around, there might be some worrisome compromising going on.
You have to keep work and personal life separate when you guard against the forces of discrimination!
I get the joke, I just think it kinda reduces her and undermines the message that the previous pages were presenting. The bad guy was saying that if you act confident any woman will sleep with you, and this was treated as absurd (as it should be). But now another bad guy does it and it immediately works.
He declares that Gyno-Star is going to have dinner with him, and she apparently agrees just cause he said it with confidence. And presumably he then said with confidence that they were going to have sex and she agreed for the same reason.
I understand the joke, but its a tired and demeaning joke that I’ve seen a lot of times before. A comic pushing a feminist agenda should really be able to do better than this.
It’s just perpetuating harmful stereotypes that there is some special “trick” to getting women to have sex with you and that men who know this trick can get any woman to put out regardless of whether she likes him or who he is. This just reduces women to some sort of puzzle with a simple answer that gets you the reward of sex (implying that getting the prize is the purpose of interacting with them.)
After her stand against this sort of stupid thinking on the previous pages, it made me kind of sad to see Gyno Star then turn around and completely confirm this view of women as correct.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Your perspective is interesting. I think it’s a bad idea to take anything Gyno-Star does and generalize that action to all women. Just because Gyno-Star can’t resist a handsome, cocky, confident guy doesn’t mean I’m saying that all women are the same way.
One of the biggest ongoing jokes of this strip is that Gyno-Star, despite having some superhuman powers, is still human. She’s NOT the ultimate feminist icon, she’s just an imperfect person trying her best to do what’s right. But despite her best efforts she can sometimes be hypocritical, catty, shallow or insecure.
The truth is that some women are attracted to cocky, confident guys who are all wrong for them. And that doesn’t make them un-feminist, or mean that they’ve been tricked. I tried to show in the last panel that Gyno-Star is surprised by how things turned out, but not regretful or ashamed. “Huh,” means she’s more fascinated by how his theory turned out to be correct than demeaned by the interaction.
The bigger point is I wouldn’t take anything Gyno-Star does as representative of “all women.” She has enough trouble being good at being herself, without that added responsibility.
No, I certainly don’t think so. There was a person that didn’t read past the fourth comic. I think he/she was a hater. You’re just a person w/ some thoughts to share.
The third and fourth strip really pushed your heroine into the credible range, though that may seem to refer to farmland. Imperfections in one’s central character are difficult to arrange; you do it with grace and skill. It’s what separates skilled fiction plotting from unskilled; or lends life’s colors to the black-and-white, good-versus-evil of most banal attempts at plotting. Well done.
A sad thing is, the reason this isn’t an outright anti-feminist comic is because Gyno-Star’s defenses weren’t crushed by a *female* weakness, they were crushed by what was clearly described as a weakness of *most people*.
What a tired old propaganda slogan, that women are people! What kind of feminist are you, to believe, that, asks TROLLatar?
As a man of scientific mind and anarcho-hipster leanings bearing slight resemblance to the scientist portrayed above, I find this comic amusing. As a man of legal mind, I propose a disclaimer for all scientists doing evil deeds. “I, a rational person, recognize that I am probably doing quite a lot of harm to this world. However, the work is quite intellectually rewarding, and if I didn’t do it someone else would.”
Yes, even Gyno Star can be sweet talked into a sexual coupling. Doesn’t make her anything but human. Even Feminists are human not that you can tell from the way confirmed sexists like Limbaugh speak of them. Some Feminists are men like myself.
BWAHAHAHA!

Well, the fact that it happens between panels is kinda the whole joke.
Having sex does not make one an anti-feminist.
Oh calm down kitty-bot, she wanted to get laid, the guy was pretty good looking, and he was smart and engaging as well. There’s no harm in enjoying a night, though if she doesn’t foil his evil schemes by the time the next date rolls around, there might be some worrisome compromising going on.

Best punchline ending ever. Five Stars!
Haters gonna hate.
Thanks. And it’s true, they gonna.
Am I being classified as a hater now?
No, I certainly don’t think so. There was a person that didn’t read past the fourth comic. I think he/she was a hater. You’re just a person w/ some thoughts to share.
I’m a confident guy and I can say this is true for most men and women :3

Can I steal that quote? It perfectly describes why I draw comics full of monsters and nekkid women.
Yes, even Gyno Star can be sweet talked into a sexual coupling. Doesn’t make her anything but human. Even Feminists are human not that you can tell from the way confirmed sexists like Limbaugh speak of them. Some Feminists are men like myself.
Why did she keep the mask on but took her gloves off? That’s sad!
I don’t know as we’ve ever seen her without the mask. it may be permanently affixed.
Or, you know, the whole secret identity thing.
Gyno’s human just like the rest of us lol
Well, this pretty much clinches the fact that she’s still learning the ropes and has a long road ahead of her before she reaches her full potential.
A long, long, long, looooooooong road…
