Because women are not nearly that bitchy to each other after like 7th grade.

The women in the cartoon are not being bitchy to eachother either, are they?

The commenter likely means two-faced.

Not all women, no, but some definitely are. Stereotypes come from reality. While they don't apply to every individual, it does apply on a group level especially when compared to other groups. If this was completely made up nobody would find it funny. People find it funny because there's a kernel of truth there. It's not misogynistic to aknowledge that women as a group act differently to men.

Women compliment each other far more than men do. IIRC this has been researched. Men live in a compliment-deprived world, probably due to toxic masculinity. Women don't, but the assumption that their compliments are all or mostly insincere, which this comic does, is kind of incely.

Thr whole comic seems like a man's take, and probably not a very accurate one.

I disagree that this is being claimed here. Stereotypes don't imply that everyone, or almost everyone in that group is like that.
