Lainey Molnar: Artist Drawing Societal Comics About Modern Woman Life
Interview With Artist
Lainey Molnar's art becomes the canvas for reflecting society, portraying the modern woman’s journey in a world pulsating with diverse narratives. The artist fearlessly navigates through the pressures that women face daily. With her thought-provoking comics, she challenges the norms and celebrates honest womanhood.
The illustrations serve as a fun yet profound exploration of various topics, from traditional expectations to contemporary dialogues around feminism, body image, abortion, mental health, social stereotypes, relationships, etc.
Overall, each girl can relate to Lainey Molnar's comics, as the artist aims to inspire and empower women. Would you like to know more about the artist and look at some feminine-inspired illustrations? You are at the right place, so we better start, shall we?
Who Is Lainey Molnar?
According to the web search results, Lainey Molnar's real name is Lainey D. Molnár. She is a Hungarian living in Amsterdam, Netherlands. As social media doesn't reflect reality nowadays, Lainey successfully spreads social messages through her Instagram. Lainey began posting her art on Instagram in October 2019.
Eventually, she stepped away from social media due to persistent online harassment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she began sharing the signature drawings she became known for. Some were portraits of people like Meghan Markle, Lady Gaga, and Emma Watson. Best known for her comics, Lainey is also a motivational speaker, owning her online course Soul Sister Academy.
Furthermore, a Lainey Molnar meme was created, the Laineyball. It’s an exploitable meme character based on Lainey Molnar. 4chan, the popular image board community, was the platform where it went viral. Laineyball and 4chan users intend to annoy the author by making it more popular than the original comic.

Condoms ARE uncomfortable! I imagine they don't feel too comfortable for a woman either. [Start Dodgy infomercial voice now] That's why you need... LUBE. Simply place a little inside the condom for more comfortability for YOU, and plenty on the outside for your partner. Don't forget to trim your pubes to avoid 'snagging'. LUBE! So from us here at LUBE, we say to you: Don't be a prick, put a condom on your d**k. But make sure you remember, to add some lube your member.
I have a PhD, work full time at a university as as scholar and project manager and also work in a café/bar on weekends (just because I enjoy the company and change of scenery; scholars can be really dull). It*s really amusing how SOME people treat me differently, depending on the context. Helps determine who is cool and who is not. Moral? Always treat others with respect
What’s The Creative Process Behind Lainey Molnar Comics?
The artist told Bored Panda she has a miles-long list of illustration ideas on her phone: “I sometimes literally wake up in the middle of the night to write down new ones, and I grab my phone to make notes at any point when I see something inspiring.”
When she sits down and draws that idea from the list, she finds it resonates with the moment. As Lainey sometimes loves to binge-watch TV shows while drawing, she says: “Still, usually, I like to create an ambiance, like candles, incense, and good music, because I believe the vibes and emotions also go into every artwork.”
Is Lainey Molnar Art Personal?
When asked whether she has any personal favorites from her illustrations, Lainey said it’s the one where she compares “someone with physical health struggles” and “someone with mental health struggles.”
The artist shared that this is because it’s a very personal one. Lainey admits she struggled with her mental health for over 18 years. So, she is the one who knows how complicated it can be living with this invisible illness.
Even though Lainey usually explores female empowerment topics straightforwardly or funnily, the artist also adds, “Still, at the end of the day, we are all simply human beings. I find it crucial to address stigmatized topics because it gives so many of us relief to know that we aren't alone.”
Because looking pretty for that one random guy in the street is every woman ever's purpose, of course /s
The very definition of natural is 'existing in or derived from nature'. Your body is natural until you have an unnatural change. Pregnancy is one of the most natural things there is!
I needed this. I’m short and flat and small for my age. When someone says they’re jealous I always think they are joking.
agreed, i'm average and short, can't find any nice clothes to fit my B cups and big af ass.
And both require a lot of hard work, practicing, and other words that I'm not smart enough to know. (I used to be a ballet dancer and Im assuming about the other one...)
Acquaintance of mine does pole dance, your assumption is correct.

Can we stop pretending these are the same thing? They're not. And as "empowering" as you try to make it, pole dancing is still strongly associated with strip clubs, where women are employed in perhaps the starkest and most direct manner possible of becoming objects for men's sexual pleasure. I can't believe I have to say this, but strip clubs are not palaces of feminism, and it makes me sad that women are so eager to take on a traditional symbol of their own exploitation. Just because strippers as individuals should be treated with as much dignity as the next person and do not deserve the epithets often hurled at them, this does not mean that their job or the place they work is neutral/good for women as a whole. Not everything women do is empowering because it is done by women.
This! Thank you for writing down what I am always wondering about but can’t put into words properly.

Dancers are f*****g JACKED. It takes a lot of strength to make that s**t look graceful.
The caption is being disingenuous. Very, very few pole dancers make a living by just dancing; it's about taking clothes off. Of course the art and athleticism of the dance takes massive effort and deserves respect, but these two are simply not in the same trade. The same goes for Fred Astaire and Magic Mike.
Pole dancing is not about taking clothes off. It is, like any other dance form, or sport, about expressing yourself and doing something you enjoy. Yes, we do tend to wear crop tops and hot pants - largely because advanced moves up the pole (usually a couple of metres off the floor) require skin grip. Not everyone who does pole strips, and not everyone who strips does pole. The two are not synonymous.

I'm amused by all the white knights here, defending strippers and "pole dancing." Oh, I'm sure "pole dancing" may be somewhat difficult, but if you think strippers are pole dancing experts, you're delusional. The pole is a prop; the "dance" is about taking your clothes off and exciting a bunch of horny, pathetic men, and getting their money. Putting these two together, trying to liken one to the other, is ridiculous and laughable.
But isn't pole dancing a sport? They still require the same respect lol

except one is sexually exploited...our daughters should not look at stripping as a lucrative means to survive.
as long as they're EARNING a living, it is " a job". Kudos to them for being able to do it.

Having dated both a professional dancer and an exotic dancer (i.e. a stripper), I can guarantee that the professional dancer works much harder at her career... but also feels more rewarded by it and doesn't see it as a quick way to make a buck while she searches for her real career.
Strippers still work very very hard at their job and their jobs are still rewarding. Yes, their salaries are different compared to professional dancers, but that's because they're still different jobs! Plus some women choose to do exotic dancing and love their job

Dancing is super hard (yes I'm a dancer, yes it took eight years to learn)
Markiplier and Jacksepticeye did a video where they learned how to pole dance. It was REALLY HARD!!!
I saw that too, they were in some pain from doing basic moves.

Main difference is that the one on the right is objectified all the time. Just read at all male comments supporting it.
Professional dancers are not objectified?
Load More Replies...
Because one exists solely as an object of sexual fantasy -- a toy. I'm not saying it isn't work or doesn't take skill. But it's an outgrowth of patriarchy and objectification.
Exotic dancers should have as much respect as any other profession. It is the men we need to pity and loathe - they have to pay to see a pretty girl.
Some of the men in the comments have 0 knowledge of the world of professional dance on both sides of the spectrum, and only have experience observing the one on the right but think they're experts in the field.
Ok pole dancing looks amazingly fun. I would do it with pants on, cuz that's just me, but it still looks fun
Pole dancers make me insanely jealous - I've been trying to get a single chin-up for about five years. Never managed it. The upper body strength they have is beyond me
The first dances with clothes on for art and can be seen by anyone, of any age, during anytime. The second dances in the dark while men jerk off and they twerk, naked for people to place money in their private areas...Umm, yeah, there is a huge difference. Let's not kidd ourselves, strippers exist for male entertainment and is a construct to keep women as sexual beings for male pleasure.
A century and a half ago, and a ballet dancer WAS the one on the right in terms of respectability.
I have the biggest respect for strippers. Not only they have to dance, be fit, look good, but also be nice to asshole customers. Ballerinas don’t have to do customer service ..
Ballet dancers do have to deal with asshole directors, administration, trainers, teachers and they start training at incredibly early ages--and the work is gruelling. Like everywhere else that there is power, there is also abuse and harassment. If the b dancers can get work in their field, they do not get paid very well and their careers are short-lived.

Because the one with the vertical pole is encouraging men to think of women as nothing but sex symbols. It's been extremely difficult to get what progress there has been. Women playing into men's fantasies brings us right back down. The men that go to strip clubs and whore houses are the same men that vote down womens rights, or barely slap the wrists of sex offenders because their opinion of women is based on what women in their lives are like. As repugnant as those men are, strippers and hookers pleasing them are probably a majority of the women in those mens lives.
Correction: shıtting on the hobbies, passions and/or professionals of (in this case) strippers brings us right back down. But, then again, i expect precious little from someone with a vertical pole lodged so firmly up her sanctimonious a§s.

I'm realizing that I'm in the minority here were I see the stripper and think "damn she's powerful". I'm a straight woman and though I've never gone a strip club specifically, I do frequent burlesque shows and have tried pole dancing. Both are beautiful forms of art and there is this person on stage commanding the feelings of the audience through movement. Art is meant to make you feel. What it makes you feel is open to what the artist intends, so what if the artist intends to make you feel desire. I'm honestly sick of people shaming sex, sexuality, and sexualization when some people find beauty and power in it for themselves and that should be okay. More people should. So long as everyone participating has agreed to the rules, there shouldn't be a problem.
I tried pole dancing once, it's hard. After 1 hour my whole body hurt for a week and amazingly even though it was all upper body work, my legs get like i ran a marathon. Huge respect to pole dancers.
All people deserve respect. The difference between these two professions is the purpose of the dancing. Some men might enjoy seeing women performing ballet, but is the purpose of ballet to arouse men? What is the purpose of professional pole dancing?
Think of it like this it's like the difference between a violin and a viola if you're a two set violin fan you will understand. There's not that much of a difference in difficulty and skill it's just that one is more respectable in the eye of musicians.
Can we just talk about the sheer amount of strength a person needs to pole dance? Sometimes they are holding themselves up by only their thigh muscles. And the core and ab strength they must need! I could never be able to do that!
Sadly the worth of a person is often judged by the amount of money they recieve for their performance.
My mom, who is a baptist, once told me she thought ballerina dancing was a sex thing. I couldn't convince her otherwise.
Fun fact, that ballerina has done more damage to her feet than the stripper in the platforms.
Try reading Gelsey Kirkland’s ‘Dancing on my grave’.. might change your mind about the perception that Ballet Dancers are treated any better…
"but the pole dancer is a stripper and she's selling SEX" So were ballet dancers, 250 years ago. A ballerina was a sex worker. They'd dance in shows for a pittance, then earn the real money backstage with 'patrons.' Rent, better rehearsal clothes, new pointe shoes, better parts in the show - all related to how popular a dancer was. Not to mention nice gear makes it easier to dance better and get noticed. Ballet dancers weren't respected. Not even by Degas as he painted them. Also, look at those paintings. See the leering men EVERYWHERE? The sex work wasn't a secret. I could go on, but it's really a fascinating deep dive and I don't want to deprive anyone. Also also, so what if she's selling sex? If she's safe and it's voluntary then it's fine by me. She still deserves all the respect.
250 years ago French ballet dancers WERE sex workers. Even the little pre-teen trainees. They danced in shows, sure, but they earned their money after the show, meeting 'patrons'. Rent, new pointe shoes, nicer practice clothes, better parts in the show - all directly related to how popular a dancer was. Ballet dancers weren't respected, not even by Degas as he was painting them. Also, look at those paintings. Look at how many of them feature leering men. It wasn't a secret. Poor girls would join the ballet to make money for the family, rich girls wouldn't be allowed to be ballet dancers. Ballet has a sordid history too.
And sadly both get harassed about their bodies and weight till they become bulimic drug addicts...
like bruh, try literally lifting yourself upside down with a pole. ( i dont speak from experience, just imagining the pain and physical strength
Both types of dance require loads of practice, skill and ability. However the targeted audience makes a very big difference in the types of people you will meet while practicing your trade
pole dancing and stripping is not about dancing and making a living, its about being willingly objectified by and selling yourself to disgusting perverted men who view you as nothing more than a s*x toy
Even more for the stripper in the FREAKIN 10-INCH HEELS POLE-DANCING. HER TOES😭
Nallet originated with dancers in operas. They were treated as whores backstage. Google it.
Respect has no scale to measure amounts with. They will both be respected as dancers. It is the audience showing respect that will be different. One will watch a ballet and that audience will resect her for the practice time and effort training to become what she is. The other will have a different audience who respects her for different reasons. Her audience has little care for her hard work dedication and commitment. They both are shown respect. The true question should be who do you wish to be respected by?
Theae are all beautiful and well done…also well said… but this one had not occured to me like that before. Well ayed, Madam
Yes, pole is for male pleasure. It's just a fact. HOWEVER: it's not about equating the two, it's about RESPECTING BOTH. All human beings, regardless of occupation, deserve respect.
Ok theme aside... Why do the shoes on the stripper not match her outfit????
I tried the class with some friends one day and the next day my body was so sore I didn't even go back lol that pole stuff is way harder than it looks
Have any of you seen pole dancers or ballerinas out of costume? They're f*****g JACKED, it takes a ton of strength to make that s**t look graceful and effortless
same profession almost...people are just judgy when they don't understand or want to see eye to eye on something(not saying you should see eye to eye on everything, just be a bit less judgemental and go on about your own business...other people don't need your concern, you need your concern)
It's difficult to respect someone while treating and thinking of them like a toy. I think women project blame of their man's disloyalty onto the women that are the objects of their lust.
yes and no. Does the ballet dancer required to sell drinks to the patrons or do lap dances?
Because: 1. Polishes her technique for ages. 2. Polishes the pole for all ages.
man, pole dancing takes a LOT of practice so idk what ur on about.

One performs a hobby with very low market demand and the other refused to get a good education and help society so she got a high demand low skill job, no education required. I respect whores but don't dare compare it to the level of other professions. Being a whore is easy and high pay work. But i think we should stop propagating a society where men constantly pay for women. Ballerinas should just grow up and understand that we don't care about that nonsense
Ballet is an art. Table dancing, selling your body isn't. What is respected about an art is the discipline required to master it.
lmao just try to do half the move pole dancers do. it's a skill if someone chooses to have it as a career it's their choice.

EQUAL!! Although I would say the ballet dancer's shoes are harder to dance with.
why is this downvoted? Its 100% true. As a former dancer-- its WAY harder than pole dancing. (FYI, I've tried both)
Load More Replies... Ok yeah they both work hard but ballet is a art not some thing she’s doing for some gross man’s pleasure
I wouldn't wish either on my kids. Dancing does not promote longevity. It's really hard on the body. My cousin was a pro ballet dancer. She retired in her twenties because she started developing arthritis. And exotic dancers don't exactly last into their forties. It's physically demanding. I know i couldn't hang myself upside down from a pole. And those women get s**t respect. I'd rather my girls find safer work, like demolitions and explosives.
Meanwhile, i don't judge you for what appears to be the stick up your arsə.

What "mentality" and values is that? I work in Aerospace and spent a solid 7 months stripping as a second job. Bc I needed to support my kid. 8 out of 10 other dancers I worked with were either married, moms with kids, or paying for school. And strippers don't have sex for money, either. It's no different than burlesque dancing. Just pays better.

What Motivates Modern Women Like Lainey?
Motivation and creative block are some of the most crucial topics for all modern women, especially artists. Lainey hasn’t had to experience creative block very often. The illustrator claims she simply has too much to say: “In an ideal world, a lot of what I’m communicating would be obvious, but as we’re not there yet, I don't mind processing the same pain points over and over again via a visual medium.”
Lainey is thrilled about the feedback she gets, as she says it’s “overwhelmingly positive.” Of course, that would drive any artist’s self-esteem, right? So, Lainey’s case is also not an exception, as she finds feedback as an endless source of motivation.
I can confirm. After having spent 35 years of insecurity over different aspects of my body, now that I am pregnant and my body is growing another human being, I'm astonished and very very satisfied with my body even though it has changed enormously.
What Influences Lainey’s Art?
Artists like Adam Ellis, Tiny Moron, and Wowocomics inspire Lainey. She says: “They all have very different styles and a very different sense of humor, but I think it always comes down to personality that shines through the art, so there is space for all unique creators to show how they perceive the world.”
Looking at these artists from Lainey’s perspective, she values vision and purpose over technical skills such as anatomy or shading.
What's Up With Lainey Molnar?
One of Lainey’s most significant projects was releasing a book Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic and the Domestic. As she has worked in publishing and was a blogger for more than a decade, the artist claims herself as a “huge bookworm.” Hence, captions in Laine’s art play an equal role as the illustrations themselves.
Daily, she shares her art with her one million followers on her Instagram. Lainey keeps her comics consistent, exploring the same social topics and keeping an authentic style, as she claims: “I really hope that I can create something magical that will help women be happier and more liberated from societal expectations.”
Note: this post originally had 81 images. It’s been shortened to the top 30 images based on user votes.
Reflecting The Modern Womanhood
Lainey Molnar isn't just an artist but a voice of her generation. Suppose you’re looking for your daily dose of motivation. In that case, her feminist motivational quotes reflect the essence of modern womanhood, with all its joys and challenges. This is what makes Lainey’s comics so relatable to millions of women.

In doing my little part to adress societies double standards, I did NOT raise my sons to see femails as trophies or conquest. I know this will sound old fashioned, but I have encouraged them to wait for marriage. I know that isn't going to happen, but it's a good baseline. As for my daughter. At 9 years old she is one belt away from her Black Belt in TKD, and I have been teaching her hand to hand and take down for self defense. I also take time to explain the physical advantages women have in situations. She also does jazz and tap dance. In short I won't have to be one of those dads who threatens her dates. We are raising a strong and confident young woman.

Nobody in this series has body hair. Even the one specifically regarding a 'natural body'. They are all totally shaved. ..Wild pubes, leg & armpit hairs are WOMAN. Also, petite & slim people have body image and societal pressure issues too. Ya know how many times in my life people have gone out of their way to say things like, 'Eat a burger or something.' It's important to note that screens, especially before bed, a bad sleep routine, a lack of physical movement & sunshine, and a bad diet contribute significantly to poor mental and physical health.
After my son was born, I had so many people ask me how I lost the baby weight so quickly. It was actually Grave's disease--an autoimmune disorder that attacks the thyroid and one symptom is unintended weight loss. I went from 130lbs pre-pregnancy (healthy) to 150lbs during pregnancy (also healthy) to 110lbs about 8 weeks post pregnancy (very unhealthy). It was awful.

I’m looking at the comments. Some people don’t agree with them… some men wrote rude and hurtful things… “the number of how many jobs-oh wait women don’t have jobs” -Britney Raye Dunn. “But why is she so fat”- tee Witt “the fat one needs to cover up”- Robin Wodge, etc etc. first of all, these comics are written with a woman’s perspective, so obviously if will be written by a woman’s thoughts. That doesn’t mean men aren’t important and have their own issues. Secondly, stop fat shaming and beauty shaming people. That’s just twisted. Third of all, women are just a s capable as man.

I love everything about this. The positivity, the self-love, the art style, and the outfits. Like hello, where can I get them?
This is definitely one of the least patronizing/over simplifying “woman draws it as it is” posts.
Im gonna bookmark this, and come back whenever I don't have any confidence on myself
I loved them so much. They are inclusive with such an important message to spread. I would love to see more from this artist.
For all those posts criticizing her for not including this, that, or the other: How about you make your own...why was it her responsibility to address any and everything? I think this was a totally awesome beginning...
I love how positive and supportive these comics are! As someone who is working on self-confidence and loving myself, seeing stuff like this helps
Thanks for the one including the Angel Mom. We need to normalize not waiting until someone becomes one to tell them if our loss
I love this so much!! Especially seeing women drawn with overhanging bellies like mine - you hardly ever see them depicted accurately!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS:)!!! It was so very healing to watch. We are so subconsciously influenced and to see it all was really healing. I would love to see one from a mans perspective too. It would probably be healing for men to age the many mixed messages they get too:) It would be great for men to see this and woman to she the men ones:) Thank you soooooo much for making this:)!
Abuse occurs from all angles. It's not just male on female, as women so wrongly proclaim (which is just a way to deflect from their own disgusting behaviors and attitudes). Abuse from a female is absolutely real, and happens a lot more than people think. I'd say they're actually more mentally abusive than males are overall. These kinds of cartoons ignore facts like that while at the same time try to claim they're about some kind of "equality" thing. Nope. It's about being the same way you claim men are, the actions of which you claim to hate. It's called hypocrisy and double standards.
Notice how you won’t find anything like this about men on the internet to make US feel better. Now I understand that there are many differences but how often men get mental help? We suck it in no matter what. And when we do speak out? No. One. Cares.
ok, that's fair, but consider this: you don't need to read it

This is definitely one of the least patronizing/over simplifying “woman draws it as it is” posts.
Im gonna bookmark this, and come back whenever I don't have any confidence on myself
I loved them so much. They are inclusive with such an important message to spread. I would love to see more from this artist.
For all those posts criticizing her for not including this, that, or the other: How about you make your own...why was it her responsibility to address any and everything? I think this was a totally awesome beginning...
I love how positive and supportive these comics are! As someone who is working on self-confidence and loving myself, seeing stuff like this helps
Thanks for the one including the Angel Mom. We need to normalize not waiting until someone becomes one to tell them if our loss
I love this so much!! Especially seeing women drawn with overhanging bellies like mine - you hardly ever see them depicted accurately!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS:)!!! It was so very healing to watch. We are so subconsciously influenced and to see it all was really healing. I would love to see one from a mans perspective too. It would probably be healing for men to age the many mixed messages they get too:) It would be great for men to see this and woman to she the men ones:) Thank you soooooo much for making this:)!
Abuse occurs from all angles. It's not just male on female, as women so wrongly proclaim (which is just a way to deflect from their own disgusting behaviors and attitudes). Abuse from a female is absolutely real, and happens a lot more than people think. I'd say they're actually more mentally abusive than males are overall. These kinds of cartoons ignore facts like that while at the same time try to claim they're about some kind of "equality" thing. Nope. It's about being the same way you claim men are, the actions of which you claim to hate. It's called hypocrisy and double standards.
Notice how you won’t find anything like this about men on the internet to make US feel better. Now I understand that there are many differences but how often men get mental help? We suck it in no matter what. And when we do speak out? No. One. Cares.
ok, that's fair, but consider this: you don't need to read it
Load More Replies... Some women have to look at this to not feel like complete sh*t about themselves, myself included because men like you in this world (I'm assuming you're a man because most women can see why this means something) make us feel like we are crap for existing. I came out of this feeling great about myself, and then I read this comment. Thank you so much. Oh, and I do give a f**k. Sorry to ruin your little put-down party.
