A tall multi-panel SMBC comic about gendered language drifting until men and women become separate species. Panel 1, captioned "Men were socially incapable of enjoying anything considered 'girly,'" shows an angry orange-haired man saying he can't wear a dress because that's for chicks, unless it's plaid, in which case it's fine for highland barbarians. Panel 2, "A solution was discovered," shows a woman insisting it's not a purse but a "man-purse," and renaming macrame as "ManCrame." Panel 3 shows ever more masculinized words coined, like "Ballspice" and "calligraphublic writing." Panel 4 shows neutral words gaining a "man" prefix: favorite states are "Manssachusetts" and "Kentucky-Chromosome." Panel 5, "Within a generation, men and women spoke mutually unintelligible dialects," shows a man speaking gibberish and a woman translating it as "can you give me directions to the mall?" Panel 6 shows a branching tree diagram where "species" splits into "hecies" and "shecies," as humanity becomes two species. Panel 7, "On the plus side, gender stereotypes are way more interesting now," has a man noting men always forget to stay in the frozen tundra they were banished to, and a woman agreeing. The votey (bonus panel) shows a bearded, big-mustached man saying "I also like Texastosterone."
