My mother was a feminist all of her life but she was still very set in her gender roles when it came to certain things. She determined that the single man that lived next door was gay. Why? He did all of his own housework. We all looked that confused look. Straight guys do housework. No, he needs to find a woman to do his housework. We just had to walk away from one.

Bored Panda reached out to Lainey again to get to know more about her creative process. We asked her where she gets inspiration and motivation for her work. The artist replied that besides getting inspired by her own experience as a woman, she also follows a variety of content creators from psychologists, spiritual pages, body-positive influencers, mom influencers, and other inspiring people to "understand more about matters thousands or even millions of women go through."

    Yep...My wife was going somewhere (can't remember, its been awhile.) Anyway, she was putting on makeup and doing her hair and such, and I ask her why. She said that since she has been working from home, she kinda misses getting "made up" ( not that she needs it. I think shes fine in sweats and her hair rolled in a bun) and it makes feel good...she was doing it for herself and not anyone else. I just always thought it was a chore that she would rather not deal with.

    Why is it so hard to admit that sometimes women want to look good for a man when all those things you do "just for your self" just happens to attract the opposite sex?

    Because most people arent actually dressing to look "attractive" to other people. Also lesbians and aromantic people exist

    I dress for practicality, cold wear loose warm clothes in layers. Hot, wear less and loose clothes for cool. I wear what I like and feel comfortable and ready for my own lifestyle. I as a woman, I also don't like wearing super tight and revealing clothing. To me it makes me an object and doesn't let me be myself. I don't like men constantly staring down my shirt. Who said women need long hair and thair butt and boobs all perked and out? I wont and havent since i was a teen. I am aTom boy! Always have been always will be. The only man who gets to see me in revealing clothes is my fiancé.

I do apologise if asking this causes anyone to get upset I genuinely am curious and am happy to take this comment off if anyone desires me to much love to these natural human bodies.

    Since the majority of Lainey's illustrations are about women, we got curious whether she receives some feedback from men that are following her on social media. The artist replied that only 5% of her audience is men and she has experienced two kinds of interactions with them on different ends of a spectrum. "Some men are really warm and kind and express their support and understanding, ask about what they can do better, or tell me that they are having conversations about the topics I bring up with their families or friends. On the other hand, unfortunately, the majority of comments and messages from men are deeply misogynistic or they are trying to force aggressive arguments. Nothing I engage in, we are clearly not on the same page."

    I know it's pretty common knowledge now that women started shaving because Gillette convinced them to do it to sell more razors. The irony is they sold them on it by claiming European women were already doing it. And then French women became the butt of jokes in the US because they DIDN'T shave their armpits.

    Hear me out, fellow introverts: join a club for something you enjoy. Even if it's just online. If you're lonely interaction is out there. Sure, @ssholes are too, but that's true for everything. And if you're perfectly happy on your own 98% of the time that's perfectly ok too.

    Yes, I'm a nomad I haven't lived in the same city for very long and once I do make friends there, I seem to move on. I've been in limbo since June, not sure where I want to go in January. I'm still debating between going to a city with friends or going to a new city and maybe staying there for a few months and then make a decision if I want to stay there or go to a city with friends. But their still my friends. I'm just 3-10 hours away most of the time. Maybe one day I'll settle down in the big city and fall into a normal/socical accepted rhythm of life

    I honestly don’t get why people got so upset over Ariel’s casting. The only part of her racial identity that has significance in the story is the fact that she’s a mermaid. I guess it could be a nostalgia thing but honestly you’d be better off sticking to the original in that case.

    That's...kinda sad? Don't live your life being afraid. I'm also a woman and have gone on several trips alone. Just take common sense precautions. I would never want to base my traveling around whether someone else had the time/money/desire to go.

    I think a lot of the problem here is that we have created a situation where sex work is most often done by exploited people (not that other people aren't exploited, but it's not the industry standard) and the people doing that exploiting have motivation to make sure the work remains seen as shameful and fringe so they can keep the workers and the customers from having power and it also plays right into the pseudo-religious forgiveness industry to maintain guilt. Beyond that, sex work tends to make the workers vulnerable to violence even when not marginalized because the work is, by nature, personal and intimate, and something that is itself violence if not consensual (and it genuinely can be hard for a third party to sort out consent even with the best intentions and great wisdom. Having said all that, we have great evidence that destigmatizing, legalizing, and regulating sex work makes it safer and logically, with modern medicine, there is no reason to shame sexually active people.

    There are men who look downright gorgeous in skirts or dresses. Women have fought for wearing "men wear" a.k.a trousers. It's time men fight for the acceptance for wearing "women wear". Clothes have no gender. Edit: Men should wear skirts/dresses when they want to, not when it looks good, of course. That first sentence was just an observation that I made over the years. Perhaps the gorgeousness came from the *selfsureness* (sorry, don't know the right word in English) they had

    I somewhat disagree. Femininity and masculinity are two different ways of presenting (though it should be noted that one can present as both), people can be masc/fem no matter their gender and it doesn't make their gender any less valid. These are simply descriptors! Although, they are defined by dated societal norms, and it feels a little unproductive to put everyone's style under labeled boxes.

    I don't know dear, but when I was growing up it seemed to me that femininity was a limitation arbitrarily imposed to stop me doing or wearing things, with no actual logic behind it. Half a century later I see no reason to change that definition. On the contrary I expand it to include masculinity.

    Working vs staying at home? Not always. Only if the partner doesn't mind and you can afford it. Knew a couple who had no cent. We helped em, cause their 3 y o kid ate peanuts from hunger and they had no central heating. Then I got a baby and everyone asked her: why don't you get a job? No she had chosen to be a housewife. Well good luck. I didn't help her anymore.

    GENDER of sexual / life partner. If you are a woman who likes women, that is perfectly okay with me. If you are a guy who likes guys, that is perfectly okay with me. And if you like both, that's also okay with me. And, guys, just because I comment on how nice a woman looks, doesn't mean I "like girls". It means I'm not blind and I can appreciate when someone -- anyone -- looks nice. And I'll probably go and compliment them, too! Deal with it.

    I was with you until you said "women's and men's sexual life depend on women's decision." You cannot put your own choices onto the opposite sex whether male or female. You don't want women to blame men, yet you put all the responsibility on women for the man's choice... that's hypocritical. Only you are responsible for your own behaviors!

    I got the double bump: genetics and minor accident as a toddler. That took 30 years to get used to.

    I got a witch's nose. Even the big colorless mole. I used to hate it, but now that I practice witchcraft, I kinda like it.

    Random fun fact I learned from youtube, the little ridge that some people have is called a dorsal bump, which I think is awesome because it makes me think of dolphins, and who doesn't love dolphins?

    Bottom left describes my nose. When I was younger, I used to get teased by some people about it. I was so self-conscious about it that I would not let people see me from the side if I could help it. As I got older I stopped caring. Now as I see it as being unique. As for people expecting pearly white teeth, that bothers me. I've never had white teeth and I've been drinking a lot of coffee lately, so that just exacerbates the problem. I've even had a couple rude people over the years ask me why my teeth are yellow. They're not yellow, per se, they're just not the fake white you see on TV or in magazines. Because of those people, I don't smile very much anymore. It's ingrained in my head.

    I have this issue. I tend to need more personal space than what folks are willing to give me.... I tell them this up front, before we even get into it, and months later it's like their LIVES ARE OVER simply because I don't want to spend 34/7 with them. Makes me wonder if they were even listening at the start, or did they just agree because they thought I would change?

    If you can't be happy on your own - you can't be happy in a relationship eighter. It's about sharing love/joy/strength. Not making the partner responsible for that.

    Nah. It’s not good to be unable to bond with someone because they’re “better at” your shared interests. The lady here lost a great opportunity for inspiration, growth, and self-improvement. In the end, she’s just acting from a place of deep insecurity, and instead of addressing her insecurities she’s found a person that she perceives as less threatening to her ego to be her “tribe”. Probably wouldn’t make the friend/tribe person feel too awesome if she learned of her new “friend”’s motives.

    Its pride that tells us to "step down" so we compare better... If you feel like you are comparing poorly, set a goal, make a change, learn a skill and ask people who are a little ahead for their valuable wisdom. that humility will take you father than "sitting steady with your tribe". Build your tribe out of people who cheer eachother on.

    Its a pride cycle that tells us to surround ourselves with people exactly like us so we dont "compare" poorly. If you compare poorly, set a goal and make a change, learn a skill etc. value the step your on and ask those ahead of you for valuable wisdom. that humility will get you farther that "sitting steady" with your tribe.

    Noooo!! Don’t do it Sedona! Seeing yourself in the little window while looking at all those other girls who have the “perfect “ face is the worst way to see YOURSELF. See yourself when you’re laughing or crying and see how beautiful it is that you can laugh and cry. Look at your face when you’re happy and smiling and look at it when you’re sad. It’s YOUR face it’s for YOU. Not for anyone else to cut up or judge. You’re beautiful!!

    It is not a scar, it is a cleft lip which happens during fetal development.

    Unfortunately as a woman society still does not reward you. Trophys? Try hard. Muslim? People hate you. Vegan/vegetarian? Ew eat real food. Always working? You should get out more. Married? Too young for that/ should have found a different spouse. Work a lot? Workaholic. The world hates us and we can't fix it.

    You’re not buying any of the s**t in the second panel without the effort of the first panel.

    I don't know of this was intentional, but thank you for including (what I assume to be) a Orthodox Jewish woman, because as a Orthodox Jewish female/feminist, it always bugs me that never do they show a lady in a tichel when we talk about girl power, so thank you for making me feel included :) your posts are so true and awesome!!!!!!!!!

    We (hubby helped, he loves our sex life) got my bbbbzzzzzz off a big brand name store here in the USA. Super cheap but has lasted and it's rechargeable so no worries over batteries or acid burn from them.

    Vibrators, yes, go for it, but I do not feel comfortable with my partner discussing my size or our sexual life with strangers. Especially because I always know when they did. I hate those meaningful looks and laughs when they see me.

    What a weird conversation. They're trying to talk about fruits and vegetables and the bi*ch keeps talking about how she's masturbating. What the hell.

    Someone should've told this to my prudish former friends, who reacted like seeing Satan after a tasteful innuendo joke. And not my kind of reaction to seeing Satan either 😈🖤

    Shame is also a valuable too. You should have a healthy relationship with both shame and pleasure

    Is the sister implied to be a lesbian? 🤦🏾‍♀️ Please give her an eggplant because contrary to popular belief, we sisters DO have happy marriages and relationships with MEN.

    I'm fine with the rest, but don't over pluck your brows, kids! You can get new jeans, wash off the glitter, and pretend the dumb hairstyles didn't happen. But your pencil thin eyebrows will be with you forever.

    I use my barely-there eyebrows as a reference for my girls to make sure they don't over pluck.

    As a female, no it doesn't. WE ALL just need to remember that it isn't realistic. I don't need porn to be politically correct.

    As long as everyone participating in the porn consented to being there and they are all legal adults it's fine. Everyone has their fetishes and preferences and that's none of my business.

    er there is actually gay male porn online as well, this trope of porn objectifies women is just neo-religious propaganda. If the participants consent then they consent. If they don't consent then it is illegal. I know plenty of women who watch straight porn, and gay men watch tons as well. It's not just about you.

    Yes. Just because I don't like "Porn Type A" doesn't mean I can censor it and restrict other people from enjoying it. As long as we all remember it's fiction, like 2picklesinabun said, it's all good.
