I am not offended due to being compared to a burning house. I am offended because I understand the comic, and it is patronizing garbage. Men suggesting that as a woman my life requires saving via sexism is what is insulting. I'm the house and the fire is supposed to represent the horrors of being in the same room as the opposite sex. You seriously can't see why I would find that patronizing and insulting? My life is not at risk going to a tech conference.
For me, the fire is my death. For the context of the discussion, the fire is sexism in tech. That's the point & context of why I used it in the reply to ps4fanboy.

I get that. But sexism in tech is an invented problem. It isn't real. I didn't start experiencing any sexism in tech until the "tech is sexist" trope started. Now I get it all the time, from people who think they are helping by treating me differently.
I'm curious about this whole death thing for you though. Do you genuinely believe that there is some epidemic of black men getting killed by police? Are you aware of all the white men who have been killed, or has the complete lack of media coverage of those deaths been effective in keeping them from you? Have you stopped to consider that perhaps your situation is not as unique as you assume it to be, and that maybe you are no more on fire than anyone else?
No they don't, you just said something. This time try actually expressing yourself instead of making a non-statement that just says "I'm offended by you".
