Artist Illustrates The Pressures She And Other Women Face From Society In 30 New Honest Comics

Who knows, perhaps we're forced to chase after goals that don't really reflect our true self, or even worse, we can lose our true selves whilst chasing them.
If that's the case, perhaps we need to do the opposite It's very important to continually deprogram ourselves from things that are not true, and in some cases even harmful. Therefore we need to find ways to heal ourselves from the harm that modern life may cause.

Which is why it's great to have artists like Lainey Molnar, who help others to do exactly that. She has a mission to point out all of the wrong and right things of what it means to be a woman at this day and age, and illustrates these things in a very accurate and aesthetic way. In her comics, she explores the topic of femininity, double standards, societal pressures, expectations, and various other problems that modern independent women face every day.
Yes. It's never about the clothes. You should be able to control yourself and your thoughts.
And many people are grateful that she's raising awareness on the aforementioned issues. In fact, she's really popular both amongst her fans on Instagram, and you, our beloved Bored Panda readers. Her Instagram has a whopping 896k followers and the two posts (which you may find here and here) were viewed by millions on our page. Lainey an important voice.
Ok, where are the people who do this? Raise your hand. No one? And there you have it folks, another problem. No one wants to admit they said that
What's great about these illustrations is that their tone isn't restricted to criticism and negative stuff. While she criticizes, which is an important and a difficult task in itself, she also promotes body positivity and mental wellbeing. She kindly reminds us not to follow norms which don't suit your natural needs, she reminds us that we're all beautiful and normal in our own special way. No size is wrong, no height is wrong, and no habit is disgusting. All of it is you, and you should accept that first and foremost. And if the other's can't accept that, we'll, sucks to be them.
Yeah. This one is tricky and requires a never ending balancing act.
Though the expectations and the pressure for women in our society may sometimes feel like they're crushing you, don't give up, girls. Just remember, diamonds are made under pressure. They're also a woman's best friend. This might be that extra bit of inspiration you may have wanted to hear to get out there and take over the world. Tread on, women!
Exactly! So unfair! You capture the most unseen stuff in this world and put it out there! You are now my new favorite artist
Never. My therapist said "your progress is not lost just because you had a bad moment". Better to let it out rather than let it eat you up from the inside. It's just a bump in the road, not the end.
I had a pet rat of 3 1/2 years who did the same. She was there for me when no one was and I was there for her. My love for that rat was like if I had love for a human child (in context I really really don’t want children) r.I.p my rat
Dogs are just so loving, my beautiful girl boxer was perfect. I'm biased, but she was stunning! People used to stop me in the street and ask if she was a show dog (she wasn't) She didn't have a bite in her, but when my son was born she was so tender with him and she instantly loved and protected him. She died in 2017, my family all miss her.
My dog was the same, she was the sweetest thing ever! Sadly, she was getting very old so we had to put her down. Sorry for your loss ❤️

And yet, every time Madonna is featured on BP, she's roasted like a Christmas turkey.
Bro yes. I get really sweaty between and behind my thighs and oddly enough my inner elbow it’s uncomfortable so I always gotta cool down.
Our differences are what make us beautiful. The world would be boring if we were all the same!!!!!!
