A six-panel SMBC comic set in a classroom. Panel 1: a female teacher gestures while lecturing seated students, saying technology isn't just things you can hold, it's concepts useful to humans, ways of thinking, modes of analysis. Panel 2: a male student raises his hand and asks, 'So, like, from my perspective, sexism is a technology?' Panel 3: the teacher, unimpressed, replies, 'That's not a technology. That's a personal bias.' Panel 4: the student crosses his arms smugly and declares, 'Bam! Shielded from your argument by sexism!' Panel 5: the teacher says dryly, 'If I had a dollar for every time that's happened to me...' Panel 6: the student gestures and quips, 'Don't you mean 75 cents?' -- a jab referencing the gender pay gap. Votey: a black-and-white close-up of a wild-haired, gap-toothed, disheveled man insisting, 'I swear Kelly said it wasn't sexist!'
