Exactly, you should stop listening to media and start listening to the experiences of women close to you instead.

Yeah, fuck the media. Instead, you should try talking to the women close to you about their experiences turning men down. Some might have no issues and think nothing of it, some might have good reason to be calculating. Don't take it from me.

The comic is not implying that every single time a woman says no to man, that man will do something bad. It is saying that often when a woman wants to say no to a man, they have to do an internal calculation to answer questions like "Can I trust this man to respond okay to a No? How likely will they say something rude, or escalate to harassment? What do I do if he gets physically persistent? Is he going to get pissed off if I say no and come after me when I leave?"

Usually the answer is "he's probably fine", but women do have to go through the calculation much more than men typically. And that's kinda fucked up.

The comic is saying "just say no" ignores/dismisses the non-negligible risk of just saying no.

As someone typically critical of Abrahamic religions, this is the strong argument for why we need those religions :3
