it does not make the assertion that because this scenario is hypocritical therefore all men are hypocritical.
I didn’t say it did.
What it does do is equivocate the ‘panel 1 men’ and the ‘panel 3 men’, and by pointing out the hypocrisy of those two behaviors, they are therefore implying that you’re a hypocrite if you say what’s in panel 1.
Yes, I did explicitly address that. This is a hyperbolic presentation - nowhere does it make the claim that all men who say “Women need to be more honest [etc]” are hypocrites, it presents the situation that men who say “Women need to be more honest [etc]” are so often hypocrites that the narrator is unsurprised when this once again turns out to be the case.
nowhere does it make the claim that all men who say “Women need to be more honest [etc]” are hypocrites
It shows the same man saying two hypocritical things, followed immediately by the woman saying that the panel 3 behavior is what she expected from the man saying the panel 1 statement.
Yes, it absolutely does make the claim that ‘panel 1 men’ are hypocrites. It could not be more obvious.
But it textually says the opposite of what you’re saying it’s claim is - it says this was an expectation, not an assertion. Nowhere does it make that the claim you’re claiming it claims. Saying “this is commonly the case” is not the same thing as saying “this is always the case”.
it says this was an expectation, not an assertion.
The comic ends not with an expectation, but with the statement that an expectation that already existed was correct. In other words, ‘it was correct of me to expect a man who says women should directly/honestly reject someone, to react badly when I directly/honestly reject him’
She is absolutely indirectly asserting that it is correct to expect ‘panel 1 men’ to hypocritically exhibit ‘panel 3 behavior’.
Alright and while you may disagree with them, that is beside the point: where is there a logical fallacy? It does not make the assertion that all men are X/Y or that all men who say X will say Y, it makes the assertion that their expectation, that a man who does X will often say Y, was correct. That is not a logical fallacy.

You keep using the word all or always unlike the comment.
Did you know some generalizations aren’t universal?
are so often hypocrites
is a generalization that likewise doesn’t follow due to the fallacy shown in the comment.
Consider a pile of coins.
Some have heads side up, some have heads side down.
It doesn’t follow to any level of generality that coins individually have heads side both up & down.
The comic depicts a pattern of conduct as sensible to typically expect: that’s a generalization.
Based on what?
Faulty generalizations are the basis of stereotypes.
Unfounded assertions, faulty generalizations, & stereotyping are fallacies.
I’m not sure what you’re getting at, my reasoning is consistant across both this and the linked comment; was that what you meant to link to? My entire point has been that generalizations are not inherengly universal, and the ones in the comic especially so. Which you appear to agree with? I’m genuinely confused.
That reasoning also runs counter to the greviances DamnedFurry was expressing with the comic.
And you’re expressing yet more fallacies, without establishing the applicability of those falacies to the situation. Nor are stereotypes a fallacy (what??), and neither is this a fallacy of composition or a faulty generalization.
However the implication that the existance of fallacies renders the conclusions of the comic invalid is a hilariously classic example of an argument from fallacy so there’s that…
The fallacy in the comment works with weaker generalizations, too.
Weaker generalizations are common: cardinals are red, car drivers stop at red lights, balls roll.
Likewise, men say X doesn’t pin down the level of generality: significant proportion suffices.
Concluding from the premises in the comment that a significant proportion of men say X & Y would be a formal fallacy: the respective proportions of X & Y may not overlap significantly or at all.
Alternatively, it’s a division fallacy to argue that since a significant proportion collectively say X & Y it follows that a significant proportion individually say X & Y.
From either statement follows the comic’s generalization: (a significant proportion of) men who say X are hypocrites or that they so often are as you put it.
Another restatement: it can be typically expected.
Due to the fallacies, the comic’s generalization doesn’t validly follow from the premises in the comment.
without establishing the applicability
No valid or strong evidence has been provided for the comic’s generalization: it’s either an unfounded assertion or a generalization drawn from inadequate evidence, which is called a faulty generalization.
yet more fallacies
Stereotyping fallacy exists and refers to treating overstatements as accurate generalizations of a whole group.
implication that the existance of fallacies renders the conclusions of the comic invalid
An argument from fallacy concludes the fallacy’s conclusion is false.
That didn’t happen here.
A fallacy indicates a problem in the argument, namely that it’s unsound.
Unsound arguments are a problem, since they fail to determine truth conclusively.
Not in any way telling you what to do, but these dudes aren’t listening to any logical arguments that anyone here is making.
Feels like a lot of them don’t know that many women either, laughably. Maybe it’s due to living in the Bible belt for so long, but most of the women I know have run into this (comic) exact sort of guy.

Do you know the phrase:
“Hope for the best, but expect the worst”
?

I’ll tweak the comment & clarify here.
Nothing in the linked composition fallacy comment you responded to used words all or always. You kept assuming a universal generalization where it wasn’t indicated.
