All men?
Sven seems to be more successful, but I'm not sure he's setting a shining example of how men should be either.

...all good men.

Sorry, which exchange was that? I'm completely spacing here.

gopher:
Renee continues to be a terrible human being and Claire is enjoying upsetting her boyfriend. A great day.

MrNumbers:
^ What PWHodges linked. The whole interaction still feels real bad in my gut, in a very similar way to the old comic of Clinton meeting Brun for the first time, the original version having Brun pull a shotgun on him before it was replaced with a harpoon in an edit.

If it's being played off as a joke, it's a shitty joke. If it's not being played off as a joke, it's a shitty circumstance.
And I mean that as a meta level, as in "I don't like Jeph doing this, it feels outlandish and cruel in a way that doesn't gel with the tone of the rest of the comic" and not "This is a reasonable thing for a bad character to do that makes me uncomfortable".

Following up so soon after it with this Renee and Claire interaction is filling me with a deep and pervading sense of 'bleugh' overall.

As an addendum: Steve's a pretty great, solid male character. It's a shame we don't see much of him anymore.
