Women compliment each other far more than men do. IIRC this has been researched. Men live in a compliment-deprived world, probably due to toxic masculinity. Women don't, but the assumption that their compliments are all or mostly insincere, which this comic does, is kind of incely.

Thr whole comic seems like a man's take, and probably not a very accurate one.

I disagree that this is being claimed here. Stereotypes don't imply that everyone, or almost everyone in that group is like that.
