We're back with another important post featuring relatable illustrations by Lainey Molnar. Many of you may already be familiar with this artist. However, for those of you who need to catch up with her previous work, we recommend checking out our earlier Bored Panda posts where we shared Lainey's best illustrations.

It seems that people are becoming increasingly aware of the beauty standards that were once imposed on every woman. Nonetheless, some women still face unrealistic expectations from toxic partners, friends, or even family members. This is one of the themes Molnar challenges in her work. The illustrator highlights the absurdity of the criteria women are expected to fulfill in order to be considered worthy. She also addresses various misconceptions about femininity, revealing how misunderstood women still are.

Scroll down to see the most recent selection of illustrations shared by the artist and to learn more about her recent work.

    I RAISED my standards and am having the most emotionally contented time of my life chugging wine with my cats instead of being the physical and emotional punching bag for men who NEVER deserved me.

    I absolutly HATE! When people say 'thats not my job' to things that clearly are! You chose to be a parent so it IS your job to work with your spouse to take care of your kids, its not the sole job of one or the other its a team effort... chores too

    Was everyone an adult? Was it consensual? Then it's none of my business.

    This is also what the fat acceptance movement is about. We just wanted to be treated like human beings, the same as non-fat people are.

    This is so true. It's important to talk about unrealistic romance expectations because they're so present in so much media, especially in stuff that's typically geared toward teens or women. Which is not to say there's anything wrong with the genre so much as it needs to be talked about just like unrealistic body expectations.

    Personally I don't want to look like a Barbie doll and don't see the appeal. But then I make a poor target for this sort of thing anyway.

    I hated my body for many years and agonized that I could never get below 150lbs (and I only got to 150-something by starving myself and running 4-5 miles multiple times a week). As it turns out, I would have to be emaciated for that ever to happen; even when I was doing my best to starve myself, I just don't have the build to meet modern beauty standards. The military has NOT helped things, since if you fail weigh-ins, the tape measure system is completely broken; I'd have to surgically remove part of my pelvis to pass the rope-n-choke as we call it.
