A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: Two men stand together against a yellow background. An orange-haired man says, "I don't understand these right wing science denialists. Why can't they realize they've been socially brainwashed to believe things that defy reason." The dark-haired man beside him replies, "Yeah." Panel 2: Shown from behind, the dark-haired man asks, "Hey, did you see that girl with giant boobs at the beach today?" The orange-haired man retorts, "No! Men don't naturally find breasts sexual! I see the patriarchy has gotten to you." The joke skewers the idea that any belief one disagrees with can be dismissed as social brainwashing. Votey: A smiling, bearded man holds up both index fingers, looking self-satisfied, with a thought bubble reading "Come onnnn hatemail..." anticipating angry responses to the comic.
