Yeah, it's unfortunate that he took a gendered approach to the issue. In the end the problem is that people are jerks sometimes. Gender has little to do with it.

But, this will get him plenty of views from Tumblr and probably a piece on Gawker, so who knows. It may have been a great way to get views.

This would be dead-on if we lived in a world of gender equality.

I don't think he could have taken an un-gendered approach.

I'm can't say I've heard of a female version of friend zoning. Or rather a female variant of friend zoning. The closest I could think of something similar would be guys rejecting a girl because he just want's a physical relationship and not a mental/emotional one.

This comic uses two guys as friend zoning is a guy thing. It has more impact this way.
