Artist Illustrates The Pressures She And Other Women Face From Society In 30 New Honest Comics
Society puts pressure on everyone: most are expected to be someone, do something and whatever else. But that does not mean that those expectations are valid, or if the pressure is really necessary. 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.
Exactly! I may not feel that I can care for children now, but hopefully one day!
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!!!!!!
In French, there is a saying: à force de vouloir entrer dans le même moule, on finit par avoir l'air d'une tarte. Meaning: wanting to fit in the same mold makes us a look like pies/idiots. The word pie in French has 2 meanings. It is also an insult, meaning stupid/idiotic woman (because the word is feminine).

I wish my eyebrows didn't thin when I got hypothyroidism, though. They've always been really light and barely noticeable; but now they are just about non-existent. One of these days I am going to get microblading done.
Yep and thank god, Alla, the universe or whom ever. Those are my opinions. Ultimate I’ve loved you women and generally supported the best way I could, if actually go this s**t I really don’t get other than people seriously have the capacity to be just terrible.
You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same!
Sometimes you need to step outside to realize how beautiful it is to see people of every shade and genetics. Went abroad to a country where diversity was almost non-existent and it was so eerie the first days, I kept hoping to turn around and see a variety of cultures. It's really beautiful to see that here in the US but also sad that we do not appreciate it or each other.
i have SUPER hairy legs, and i almost never feel comfortable enough to wear shorts, and i hate that i am uncomfortable about it.
One of my happiest days was when I gave up wearing high heels, or any....Birkenstocks all the way!
Don't wear those pointy shoes - you'll live to be sorry. Bunions hurt.
I have really thin eyelashes but really thick eyebrows.
It is perfectly ok to strong and independent... ..why do women still want commitment and marriage... It is pointless.. if u don't entangled with nobody... Marriage is a trap for men to benefit women.. now if we are equal... Remove marriage and marital laws then we all equal... Women can decide who they want to be with.. nice guys don't need to be backup...btw women runs after 20% men by evolutionary psychology... Gd luck 80% women finding ur soulmate
