This image did not get enough consensus in the Image Suggestion thread. Other ideas?

I think the bottom two panels of the OP would make for a funny twist on the trope.

The bottom two would make for a better image on A Man Is Always Eager.

It's not actually a twist on the trope. Just the more uncommon gender variant. It kinda works?

Not that I agree with the trope, since even the strongest man on Earth can pick up an egg without cracking it, but that's beside the point.

I'm pretty neutral on this one. Either works, only the second is funnier.

Not convinced. The joke is kinda lost without the first two panels.

I agree that the joke is lost with just the bottom two panels, but I think it illustrates the trope just fine, and it being a rare gender variant helps show that the trope isn't just the "man of steel" but also the "man of kleenex."

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty

I'm fine with 6. Just because it covers multiple things isn't a problem unless the multiple things are easily mistaken, which isn't the case here.

Crowner. Didn't add a "no pic for now" option since I guess if 6 is voted for A Man Is Always Eager, it goes without saying that Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex stays blank for now since no other suggestions were fielded.

So, I do have to point out, while I'm fine with a page image potentially illustrating two different tropes, if I have to choose between a page for this image, I go with A Man Is Always Eager. Because seriously, look at that page. It's entirely text and it doesn't even illustrate the trope (it's just All Men Are Perverts).

Out of context, but I think it'd be funny on the page, mayhap?

This one's going to hit a week tomorrow and the consensus is clear, so the new pic's up and tagged. Caption?
