Literally every single argument in the comic this far has found both parties at fault (if not equally so). And yet in every instance people INISIST upon declaring one side the guilty one.

Maybe you intended for both parties to be at fault, but what comes across repeatedly is that the male characters have a tendency to apologize for the emotional crises manufactured by the girls. The female characters tend to overreact comically to what they perceive (through the foggy lens of their crippling neuroses and immature and unrealistic expectations) as their lovers' betrayals, slights and dishonesty. In fact, the offenses are usually nonexistent to the mind of a healthy person, leaving the men, including many male readers like myself, to sort of scratch their heads, saying "WTF?" It's nice to think that in real life relationships the two sides of the story always balance out to neatly apportion blame equally,(or at all) but the truth is some people torpedo themselves regularly with their own craziness, and the rest of us have to deal with it.

Interesting but selective reading there -- the females in the comic have also done apologizing. If you like, I can give you links.

yes but do the male characters grossly overreact to percieved slights?
srs question, do they?
or is it basically one sided?
pwhodges:
Does it matter? In a dozen or so characters, there is no chance of a cartoon being fully representative or balanced.

Since you are setting up the conditions and definitions in your question, there is no way to answer you. "Grossly overreact" and "perceived slights" are both subjective descriptions intended to slant any response toward the answer you already have in mind. You aren't really interested in a discussion so much as a reaction. So...conversation at end. Have a nice day! :)
