Panel 1:
A woman with short hair: I think women like sex as much as men.
Panel 2:
A man (in profile): Hm.
Panel 3:
The man: How would you react if I stopped contributing to housework, childcare, and bills for six months, and after stewing the entire time, you decided to finally confront me, at which point I licked my lips, looked you in the eyes and said "Sounds like I need a spanking" because I CAN TELL YOU MY REACTION WOULD REGRETTABLY BE VERY POSITIVE.
Panel 4:
The woman: Well, if we stipulate that self-respect needs to not be disastrously annihila—
The man (interrupting): Don't you narrow my horizons!

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a woman with short hair walks beside a man and says, "I think women like sex as much as men." Panel 2: a close-up of the man in profile replying, "Hm." Panel 3: the man, now wide-eyed and intense, delivers a long hypothetical: "How would you react if I stopped contributing to housework, childcare, and bills for six months, and after stewing the entire time, you decided to finally confront me, at which point I licked my lips, looked you in the eyes and said 'Sounds like I need a spanking' because I can tell you my reaction would regrettably be very positive." Panel 4: split between a silhouette of the woman starting to reason, "Well, if we stipulate that self-respect needs to not be disastrously annihila—," and the man's silhouette cutting her off with "Don't you narrow my horizons!" The joke: he undermines his own attempt to disprove her point by enthusiastically embracing the absurd scenario meant to be a deterrent.
