Artist Illustrates The Pressures She And Other Women Face From Society In 24 New Honest Comics

Rapists deserve to be beaten with a hot iron stick for the rest of eternity

This.

PMS is a fact and to be honest, I am much mooore emotional before and while on my period.

As a father, I hate it when people refer to me caring for my daughter as 'babysitting', it's parenting. Honestly though I've never met a father who called it babysitting himself, its mostly other people who do that.

i like how subtle the change in their faces are, yet you see them :) great art style

2nd picture is me plus my beautiful black cat! ^.^

Louder for those in the back! Edit: I really hate how every time Lainey's comics get posted one BP and there is a woman with a hijab on the comments are mostly hate and how she's oppressed. Like you're missing the whole point.

Honestly, I'm always kinda scared to say it because I don't want to sound "weird" to those who wear them... but I think Hijab are beautiful.

I think people hate what they don't understand. I, for one, cannot understand why any woman would want any part of ANY religion.

There's people who think woman are forced into wearing the hijab when most of the time it's not,it's encouraged

Religion in general is used as a tool to oppress people, especially women. It doesn't matter if it's Christianity and their crusade with abortion right now or religion that doesn't allow a woman to leave the house or go to school or wear a piece of fabric around the hair so men won't have sinful thoughts. Religion is poison.

One of the little touches I liked about Ms Marvel, her friend who'd decided to wear the hijab, but she was no meek and obedient young woman, it was her own choice.

This goes much further than hijabs. It's a problem in pretty much every multi-culture country. People are afraid of things they don't understand and what may be acceptable or encouraged in one culture, might be not accepted in another. Often people need to change or adapt to a certain point. So when immigration happens, who is supposed to change or adapt? The immigrants or the locals of the country? Obviously, in a perfect world, everyone adapts and everyone can live in harmony, but you can see how this doesn't work out. Locals thinking they are coming to my country, why should i adapt, meanwhile immigrants being proud of their heritage and wanting to preserve their culture doing the same. You can see how this can create conflict. How do you prevent that? It's kind of like cats and dogs, some are able to look past their differences in live together in harmony, but how do you stop a cat and a dog from fighting?

There are few Muslims where I live, but when I see a woman wearing a pretty hijab, I make a point of complimenting it to her.

I have NEVER had a woman wearing a head scarf tell me all about how great and wonderful her God is, and hoe I should join her, it's then only way I'll get to go to heaven, blah, blah, blah. I have been harassed by annoying white men tell me all those things, and more, unprompted, usually when I'm at work, and can't tell them to stop, or just walk away. So...guess which one I'd rather encounter? My religious choices are not your business, and I don't want to hear about yours.

Agreed as someone who knows people that wear those for the religion it enraging

... this one ain't that easy. There are a lot of conservative families pressuring women, even preschool girls, to wear one of those imaginary-friend-disguiseries. Then, there are those voluntarily wearing one. There's no really right decision, as a free society owes it to its very every member to be free, even free to chose not being free in some regard. A prohibition in, say, school or so may ensure the freedom of those trying to chose not to wear any of these, while, of course, it does restrict the freedom of those who voluntarily chose to let their god's representatives, usually male and wearing a naked head in broad daylight, take over their clothing choices.

Religion is stupid and misogynistic by design, if you cannot see that you're been brainwashed.

So we should respect your archaic customs, that where enforced by stoning and torture in your home country that you fled?

Hm. Growing up, that assigned role of Provider was a heavy burden on me, and it led to me choosing a field of study less aligned to my interests but more profitable. It was a bad choice. Never met somebody who had his heart set that much on the provider role.

Are dad bodies actually hyped?

THIS>>>

I was raised to believe I was ugly because I was fat.

My problem is that it became sexualised and it's f*****g gross.

Only in 'murica

Lmao as a black woman, I didn't get called beautiful until I made myself look less black. People literally went out of their way to make sure they thought I was ugly and would never date me, despite having no interest them. Just because I was nice to them, they were scared I was interested in them or they'd become bullied for it. Because I'm brown I can make myself 'look' like different POC depending on especially my hair and the way I introduce myself as. Despite having the same features, I'm seen as far more attractive when people think im asian/latina/native American (I'm pretty ambiguous when not wearing black hairstyles because of mixed ancestry). I'm also seen as more intelligent and people approach me less aggressively. I mean, the girl in the pic IS beautiful, but not the best example for this picture, because the racism is just as real as what is being portrayed here: ageism and sexism. Luckily its getting better with more representation!

Left-most person is clearly modeled after JVN! Adorable.

Fur babies are still babies

Yes!

I don't care who wears a bikini, as long as it is a well fitting bikini where you aren't sausaging your body into two slivers of fabric that are struggling to uphold your public decency.

If you don't want to shave don't. If you do then go for it. Its your body.

This woman is gorgeous!

Yeah, you are still the same person and people don’t get to treat you differently because of how you look

Different worlds. Different cultures. Different people.

i need help... this i've been going through all year and still don't know what to do... stay with who I need or go and be with who I want/what I deserve

I’d love to see a take on hangovers in your 40’s, lol
