Lainey Molnar is back on Bored Panda with even more thought-provoking illustrations. With her art, she challenges and explores societal norms surrounding femininity, body image and more.
The artist creates empowering comics that resonate with women from around the world. "I personally believe that important or heavy topics are processed in a straightforward way - with just a few words - and with colorful and fun drawings it’s easier to relate to and connect over. I always mean to start conversations more than make statements, this content is as much about the individual stories and opinions shared in comments as the illustration itself," Lainey shared with Bored Panda.

The artist has previously shared with Bored Panda that she gets ideas for her illustrations from her own experiences as a woman. But she follows other content creators and inspiring people as well that touch on a variety of topics surrounding womanhood.
"I don't want to stop feeling emotions, I want them to be acknowledged by someone important to me"
It’s the aftermath they are referring to. After stretching to accommodate a human being the skin often sags and puckers after childbirth.

mf really grew a freaking human being inside of her for 9 months, which was squishing all of her organs, and people get all shocked pikachu face when you get stretch marks and cellulite afterwards. the more chubby the tummy, the better the cushioning when your excitable toddler jumps on you.
People are only thinking about the baby about to come. The rest of the time a woman is told what to do, how to maintain her appearance and physique, even while pregnant. Then after the baby is born, everyone gushes over the baby and then turns to the mom with sour glares, and raised brows interrogating her about how she's taking care of the baby and scolding her over how "tired, dishevelled and disgusting" she looks, and to remind her to "wear a longer shirt". Then they wonder why she's depressed.
'Friends' who say things like this to their pregnant and post pregnantcy friends.... are as much friends as bagels to donuts (they're enemys btw)

Am I sheltered or is their people like the people in the second picture. Because I don't think anyone would say that, especially to their face.
Yes! People do make it known that stretch marks or women with a pooch from having a baby is unattractive or not sexy.

But sometimes self-care can look like and be self-centeredness.... it's quite a balance to strike.
Top 4th hair, middle 1st clothes, bottom 2nd shape (and boots!). That's me.
What’s the pink thing on the lower right she’s holding in her left hand?
i love lainey molnar! i was actually going through all of the old bp posts with her comics last week
In the time it took me to read these, BP changed the headline...
No hate, but isn't our population going to decrease because no one's having babies? Again, no hate just wondering.
