The comic is a bit long but is very spot on. I work as a developer and if there's a girl with us (there's none) that would be my first instinct to do. Overly helpful and all that. I don't know why but that's what I would do.

I'm sad that this comic is still needed. I thought we figured this out a while ago. I remember being super weirded out at a colleague saying he worshipped women. That moment and probably things I read around the time solidified in my kind to treat women and other genders the same as I'd men.

Jesus, how many panels in before someone would think "maybe this should just be a written piece". The comic format does it no favors whatsoever

I feel like the same story and message could have been conveyed in a single comic strip.

I think you overestimate how open minded the average person is. People are quick to reject an argument when it doesn't conform to their world views. This comic is long because it tries to address most doubts about it. It's slow to get to the point to avoid triggering the visceral reaction some people have to feminist theories.
Although I agree that a tldr would be nice.
