I find the whole "Very Special Episode" style with the character staring straight ahead and preaching directly to the reader/viewer to be, well, condescending.
I'd rather see these issues made through the art and demonstrated through the experiences of the story. In just about all media I find it irritating when characters proselytize to the audience as a proxy for the author. QC doesn't get a free pass, no matter how much I agree with the issue and enjoy the comic.

It's been a very special week. I'm now forced to use the men's room in NC.

Yeah. Ditto. :/ As a trans woman, it's pretty shit to wake up every morning and find out which states are trying to outlaw my existence now.
Is it cold in here?:

We men tend to not think about anything before we act. I feel that proper application of intelligence is what make one smart.

There was stereotyping there. The mods got a complaint about it.
Undrneath:
I don't see it, but fair enough.
HiFranc:
I would like to see a cross over with Damsels Don't Wear Glasses. Pintsize and Lave in the same room!

I feel the same way. The message was uncharacteristically heavy-handed, namely panel 4 - it just doesn't feel like natural conversation. The message is great, and right, don't get me wrong. The delivery was just kinda... awkward? I dunno what word I'm looking for here.
