People tend to overdemonize feminists and what feminism stands for. This comic is making fun of that by portraying an absurdist scenario where a perfectly normal feminine practice: getting a training bra, is beset by moon-dwelling feminists who seek to destroy the earth.
Instead of, well, recognizing and demanding equality. The original straw man antifeminists make is to deviate from the idea that feminism is about equality. That’s probably the critical foundation this comic needs to make sense as that’s what it is poking fun at.
totally agree and this experience does make sense to me, people paint feminists very broadly and stupidly - personal anecdote I remember being blown away in college that being a feminist could simply mean supporting the right for women to vote, have equal pay, ect.
I had heard terms like “feminazi” growing up, so the picture in my mind was more similar to the comic than I think I initially realized when reading it.
