That hair-smelling thing happened to me once at a bar, which I thought was weird (I’m a guy). You mean I could have sued and gotten a big-bucks settlement? Dang. Missed that opportunity.
In all the romance novels that I read, they have passages that read, “I love how you smell”, about 100 times. Sniff me, and you’ll just get a whiff of Ben Gay.
Okay, I will admit to being a little long in the tooth, but I am thinking ‘My house. My rules.’ is still perfectly acceptable. There are rules where ever you go. We all have to obey the rules we can not ‘afford’ to ignore.
To see how bad it’s gotten at (some) colleges, read The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt. Their premise is that overprotection of American kids (and yes, by “kids” they include ostensibly adult college students) leaves them unprepared for the shocks of life in the real world, including gasp people disagreeing with them right out loud.
Also, besides echoing what @tabby and @The Wolf In Your Midst said, you realize the kids in this comic aren’t millennials, right? Most definitions of millennials say that it includes people born between the early ’80s and the mid ’90s, so most of them are in their late 20s to early 30s, with the oldest of us approaching 40.

Smelling hair is a thing among those who bathe regularly.

Biden sniffs, Bonespurs grabs elsewhere, who is most dangerous?

I suppose the biggest “punchline” in the last panel was the “Dad” and the realisation that that’s Sam.

Why make hair products that smell so good if no one is suppose to notice and smell them?

What an exaggerated reaction. BD’s requests are not unreasonable.

What BD is saying is: there is a limit to how much you will be coddled here. COllege students aren’t used to that, today.

Rules like that must sound different when the guy making them left a leg in Iraq.

Then there are those who are into feet and shoes. Don’t understand it, but it seems harmless.

I’m a left-of-center moderate who often disagrees with BD. Today, however, he’s right on point.
