    1. This is a comic strip on the internet, chill.
    2. It is toxic to have the response the woman depicted in said comic had over a physical feature that someone has no control over. What genders are involved don’t actually matter.

      Mate/partner selection based on physical characteristics is seen all through nature, why would humans be any different? And why would you label that as toxic?

        I’m going to assume you aren’t arguing in bad faith and just have poor reading comprehension. In the comic the woman doesn’t just reject the bird, she does so in an unnecessarily cruel way. It’s fine if you have a type, but if you make people who aren’t that type feel bad about themselves for things outside of their control: that makes you toxic. If you can’t see that I don’t know what to tell you.
