 how differently Bella perceives Jessica.You have missed my entire point; I suspect this was intentional. Yes, because of socialisation,  men and women may well communicate differently. I never said that didn't happen. It probably does, since women are taught to be submissive and indirect and men are taught to be assertive and aggressive and this comes out in how one speaks,  as it comes out in all other aspects of life.

However, I believe the differences are nowhere near as stark as often trumped up to be, sometimes exaggerated by Forever Alones eager to blame their bad luck on some kind of bullshit  Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus dichotomy, when actually, they're both from Earth - Maybe there's a little bit of regional dialect going on, but they're still speaking the same tongue. 

But hey, going back to this comic and why it's offensive, even if, in this hypothetical 'Girl Language', 'no' sometimes really does mean 'try harder', that doesn't mean it's automatically okay  to assume that 'no' always (or *ever*) means anything but 'no' because you think you have some special insight into how she *really* feels. This imposition of your thoughts and assumptions onto someone else is not okay. Even if you're right. Yeah, sometimes it'll burn you. But you know what? Better burned on a verbal misunderstanding that didn't actually harm anyone than something far more serious because generic-you thought you had a Woman-to-Normal Language translator. The latter, that's a pretty big problem.
