A black-and-white cartoon by War and Peas shows a woman speaking to a man. They stand facing each other with neutral expressions. The woman says, "It’s not you, it’s men." The caption is a humorous twist on the classic breakup line, "It’s not you, it’s me," suggesting her frustration is with men in general rather than the individual man.
