Boglarka Balogh deleted the relevant page, so we can't read the comments ourselves, but I doubt any of the critics said or implied anything of the sort.

ETA: This article saved seven comments before they vanished in a puff of upset. The artist is accused of racism, arrogance et cetera, but no sexism is discernible among the jibes.

LOL -- I had never heard of it, but I googled. It's hilarious. It's like another breed of Tumblr feminist...

I like how that's presented as an 'ooo snap!" moment, as if it's unheard of for women to go on dates for free dinners and end the date with a hug and friendship. Women wasting men's time on dates and getting free dinners out of the deal? Wow! What an inventive way to "destroy" teh menz. Nobody ever thought of that! What would be far more freakish on a date would be -- "Go out to dinner and at the end when the check comes, pick it up, take out your credit card and pay for the dinner. When he offers to pay the tip, politely decline and say it's your pleasure."

No... tap him on the knee, and then say, "My pleasure. I earn more than you anyway."

I don't care about any of it, as long as they make me a fucking sammich. I know I just finished dinner but I want a goddamned sammmich. And there's no bread. Do you think she'd go out to the shops in the dark to get me some bread? Not a fucking chance, matey, if I want a sammich I'll have to go get my own goddamn bread and make my own goddamn sammich. That's what the world has come to, boys, a man has to make his own goddamn sammich. My Daddy didn't fight his way across Nazi Germany so I'd have to make my own goddamn sammich, I can tell you that for free.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Really, how about showing the links.
