Title caption (yellow banner): ANNOYANCE: PEOPLE WHO USE SOCIAL JUSTICE LANGUAGE STRICTLY FOR PERSONAL BENEFIT.
A man with curly brown hair speaks earnestly to a woman with long reddish-brown hair (seen from behind).
Man: Women make up 52% of the population but only 50% of our marriage. If we added just one more woman, we'd be so much more representative, so much more beautifully emblematic, of this diverse nation.
Votey:
The woman responds in a long deadpan reply:
Woman: In ordering imbalances of history, let us recognize other claims men unless I'm into that too. Decide I'm into that too.
(Note: the votey text is an over-long, deliberately convoluted monologue rendered in cramped handwriting; it reads roughly as a satirical, rambling justification ending with the woman concluding she might decide she's into the man's proposal after all.)

A two-panel SMBC comic with a yellow caption banner reading: "Annoyance: People who use social justice language strictly for personal benefit." A man with curly brown hair, gesturing earnestly with his hand on his chest, tells a red-haired woman (shown from behind): "Women make up 52% of the population but only 50% of our marriage. If we added just one more woman, we'd be so much more representative, so much more beautifully emblematic, of this diverse nation." The joke: he is dressing up a request for a second wife in lofty diversity-and-representation language for his own benefit. In the votey aftercomic, the woman delivers a long, rambling deadpan monologue in cramped handwriting that satirically mirrors his style, ultimately musing that she might decide she's into the idea too.
