I'm going to assume you aren't arguing in bad faith and just have poor reading comprehension. In the comic the woman doesn't just reject the bird, she does so in an unnecessarily cruel way. It's fine if you have a type, but if you make people who aren't that type feel bad about themselves for things outside of their control: that makes you toxic. If you can't see that I don't know what to tell you.

People are always going to feel bad when being rejected, I was really responding to the underlying criticism of women rejecting shorter partners and not the actual exaggeration used in the comic.

And I'm the asshole for my "No fat chicks" T-shirt and "Federal Booby Inspector" hat?

I feel that you're missing the point.
