31-Year-Old Independent, Modern Woman Draws Comics On Her Observations About Society
31-year-old Lainey Molnar is on a mission to empower women, and she's using her creative expression to do so. Molnar creates honest comics that cut through all of the filters and focus on women's role in society and the way it perceives them.
"I believe that the pressure on women comes from both inside our own community and outside, be it family, media, or men," the artist told Bored Panda. "It is incredibly hard to navigate all of their expectations and reach the milestones society has set out for us, like maintaining the perfect size and shape, being maternal but also ambitious, strong but also sensitive, staying youthful and fresh while gracefully accepting the aging process, looking ideal but not overdoing plastic surgery. I could go on and on and on, and we are all so tired of this."

Yep. Not okay can come dressed-up and with the make-up on. I do it all the time. *sigh*
Fun fact, many with depression don’t realize until it’s too late, and they feel too down to make a change. Please, if you are feeling any sort of way see someone and talk to someone, so that you can realize this before it becomes too hard to come out. Trust me, I’ve been there and it is not good. (For more info, read my bio!)
You could say the series was a long time in the making. Molnar, who is from Hungary and works as a digital business strategist, deals with content creators and women-owned businesses to align their goals with their social media, facilitating growth. "I started my career as my country's first personal blogger and ran my blog and the fashion store attached to it for almost 8 years, wrote a guidebook for powerful women, and I also wrote for women's magazines."
Hey don't worry. It's ok. Exercise helps, and heathy eating. I promise it does. Tried it myself. And it takes time. Don't compare yourself to others. You are beautiful xoxoxox

I do not necessarily see this as something negative, but rather as a celebration of how multifaceted we can be, of how many different styles we can choose between, each time appropriate for the occasion and how we feel. It is also a recognition of how nicely other women can show off their personal style, albeit totally different from our own. Appreciation, not envy.
If you feel insecure find a place where you feel secure just because.
Yeah pretty much, I would like to say men don't do this but they really do
Drawing and art in general has been Molnar's hobby for over two decades now. "After my blogging days, I stepped away from the limelight because of the habitual online harassment I received, so when [the place I live in] went into lockdown [due to the pandemic] earlier this year, I decided to create a comic-style avatar for myself and started posting drawings about her to process what I'm going through (or all of us go through) as a woman under the pressure of society and just simply... life."
It’s 2020 can we stop telling woman how to dress their own bodies already? No matter where we are on the scale from tatas out to modest - judgement, sexual assault, objectification, catcalling, accidental pregnancy, broken heart, and disrespect can happen to every single one of us. The way we dress mirror our personalities, moods, beliefs, and comfort zones, not out moral backgrounds. You do you.
@Petra Christovová, It's not that everything Islam is women-empowering, it's that normally Muslim women aren't perceived as confident, empowered women. This artist was showing people that they too can be confident and empowered. I hope I cleared things up.
Great job at standing up to a judgemental comment, Kate Baumann.
Load More Replies...Hm ... hm ... I'm a bit ambivalent about clothing that follows religious (or otherwise sexist) rules, as this may be a free choice in one country, mandatory in another, and mandatory with cruel & unusual punishment elsewhere ... opposing dresscodes of that kind isn't doing anything valuable in itself, but sometimes may be needed to gain the opportunity to chose freely...
i love how she set a muslimah as an example... some people thing hijab opresses women, but the truth is, they wear it because they want to and cuz they feel safer... hijab is a crown for muslims rather than a peice of cloth.... so its the best feeling in the world for me when i wear it
In many countries they wear it because if they don't they will be killed, beaten, or imprisoned.
Load More Replies...In a liberal country, a woman should be allowed to wear whatever she pleases, however, in no way should we turn a blind eye to the fact what she is wearing is symbolic of one of the most repressive religions on earth. In many ways, it is like sincerely wearing a Nazi outfit, wearing it symbolizes her agreement and tacit approval of the harassment and bigotry of everything not Muslim. There is no Muslim country that is tolerant. There is no Muslim country in which women are "empowered". In many Islamic countries it is illegal to be gay, and often fatally so.
Because she is wearing what SHE wants to wear. >:(
Load More Replies...Throughout her career, Molnar has always been a supporter of no-shame talks surrounding stigmatized topics like mental illness, adult friendships (or the lack of them), not wanting children, and failing and getting back up again. "The idea to start drawing about the vulnerability that is actually our biggest strength came naturally to me. I think us women (womxn, actually) need to stick together to break the barriers and push these topics so far that eventually, nobody would even question 'alternative' life choices that are out of our control anymore."
It's okay! It's normally a chatty video and if its made by someone you like - you will like watching.
"At the end of the day, they don't hurt anyone. Going against the grain when it comes to societal standards and still being happy and content can take away the sense of control from people who align with these standards and I believe that's why they're judging, because suddenly their system isn't foolproof and that can be scary."
Molnar said she has empathy for these people too but she strongly believes that it's time to normalize women's choices, whatever they might be.
Always glad to see harry potter. BTW my Patronus is an Occamey.
At least there is some reference to Harry Potter. Harry Potter is amazing
Wait till you hit 50. Menopausal hormones. Adolescence with wrinkles. Oh rapture.
Thanks for that Leo, next time just lie to us if you could.
Load More Replies...Jesus if you have wrinkles like that at 30ish, you’re living a hard life.
Don't overlook the arrival of new chin hairs...oh, the magic just goes on and on!
Never had any complexion problems my whole life, even as a teenager, except for my one temporary period pimple per month. At 59, I expect to have some wrinkles—-and I earned every one of them. But I didn’t expect to still have the occasional zit pop out at 59!
I'd love to see a real version of it - I think it should be stunning.
Load More Replies...It's meaning to say everyone can be something else, whatever suits their needs.
Load More Replies...Life choices don’t range from wrong to right based on societal expectations. The last 30 or so years the world turned upside down - the internet, social media, dating apps, remote work, digital nomads, startups, cheap air travel, EU, globalization, and the cracking of the glass ceiling raised generations of women whose priority isn’t marriage or children. We are the 30-something Lost Boys, half of our friends our age buy houses and raise families and the other half is still at school, figuring themselves out. There’s a constant pressure of missing out on something and the constant validation of freedom. It’s sometimes incredibly lonely, but the privilege of sleeping in, going out, and traveling on a whim is super rewarding. No matter how you decide to live your life, or no matter what life decides for you, give everyone else respect and compassion, because we’re all doing our best.
Except for the fact that many women have children due to society pressure... That's what is wrong.
Load More Replies...A friend of mine got pregnant at 14 as did the daughter she had then . So by the time she was 31 she had a 3 year old grandson. Her mother had her when she was 17 so she was a great grandma at 46 and her mother was a great great grandma at only 67 while her mother became a great great great grandma at 89, 3 years before she died. They each have a beautiful portrait of the 6 generations hanging in the living rooms of all their houses.
As a teenager, I can say this is pretty much bs. Most of live in oversized T shirts and sweat pants, not tint bralettes lmao
I live in hoodies and jeans, so idk if this is true for everyone. Definitely some people, but not all
Load More Replies...I think I'm the first one. Not quite a teenager yet but still, u get the point (I'm 12) I refuse to use any form of social media, I hate it. Too many nasty ppl. Bored pandas ok tho, it's nice here.
Me to dude/dudette and dude to notice nasty PPL jus play among us on American public server it is HORRIBLE people are either dating or fighting or calling me N***** they are very bad but bored panda is clean and more happy place .and there is also another website like boredpanda it's called brightside.com it's also pretty clean and lit
Load More Replies...This is bollocks, I'm 31 and remember some teen girls dressing like this over 15 years ago. Age hasn't got anything to do with it, it's whatever you feel comfortable in, or however you manage to not be pursuaded by peer pressure and the media.
I'm 38 with a 20 yr daughter and she does not feel comfortable with the sexualisation of young people! Jean's... tshirts.. just be comfortable and be u Nor does my son and nephews....it's all very fake. Too much pressure on the young ones to look sexy instead of being just young and happy! If they are genuinely happy then good in them but they are missing out on childhood. Its makes me so sad x
Yeah honestly, Social Media is so superficial and toxic. It's really bad.
Load More Replies...Not all teenagers look(ed) like this.... there is always a mix of both...
oh for f**k's sake! I am so tired of everyone thinking that teenage girls now dress slutty, hook up with every other guy, and are constantly high on heroin! Newsflash, people: THEY DON'T!! Just because a few girls act like that, all of us teens get tarred with the same brush. I'm a teenage girl, and I generally don't like to change out of comfy tracksuit trousers and a big jumper all day. Stereotypes are so annoying! If you think that this is how we all act, then you're the childish ones. Stop whining about how today's teens are all slutty and retarded, and take a good long look at yourself. Quit your judging!
It’s because now we have social media, and now there’s so many people to compare to ourselves
Where are the dogs that run around barking and making as much noise as possible? My dogs do this when my mom is on the call. I think it’s because they hear all the voices

Load More Replies...i feel bad for females with bad cramps. if u do, have a cute bulldog picture. maxresdefault-4.jpg
And this is why all these people who want teenagers to be nothing else than older girls, to continue being children only, are dead wrong. Mother Nature makes you prepare for being a woman once you start having periods, and that whole notion of 'the innocent girl-child' is a figment of the imagination. Please, teach your girls about sex before they enter puberty, the more they know, the fewer mistakes they will make, and they will be better prepared to not have sex only because a boy or man wants to pressure them into it.
Not to mention bloating, zits, greasy hair, near-hemorrhage bleeding the first couple days, and cramps. I’m post-menopausal, and believe me I do not miss that.
Okay, I've never had bad cramps before. Someone please explain the feeling to me.
Pinch yourself really hard on your arm, with skin and some flesh between the fingers. And then imagine that kind of pain inside your lower belly, for hours, mostly coming and going in waves. That’s the okay kind of cramps. Really bad cramps feel like a knife turning in your insides and have you crying on the floor.
Load More Replies...It can be especially hard as a teenager when everything’s irregular. Sometimes I got cramps and tenderness about a week before the bleeding started, sometimes 1-2 days.
I'm REALLY lucky that mine's crazy-regular. except for a four month time with NOTHING. that was weird.
Load More Replies...Ehh, it's not that great. No periods, yay, but lots of other crap. Having had both, I'd take the periods to get the youthful hormones back!
Load More Replies...I always launghed at the “your metabolism will change with age” type of comments and now I’m unbuttoning my pants at dinner. Ps. This post has nothing to do with nutrition, diets, and workouts, I know this is a complex issue that has solutions, but that doesn’t make aging less cruel lol. But anyway, both are lovely, perfect bodies and they’re worthy of love and care!
Solutions like what, I wonder? Surgery? Never aging? Never eating? We change as we age. It's normal. Medically speaking, that is.
Healthy eating and a lot of exercise, choosing comfortable clothes that flatter your body, plus the daily required dose of 'I don't give a damn about the way I look' mentality.
Load More Replies...We usually cut down on how much we move and on how much exercise we get when we age. I think that is the real problem, not that our metabolism changes. A well-exercised body is a healthier body, with a healthier body comes a healthy mind, and also more years with a higher quality of life. Win-win-win, in other words. Now, please excuse me. I shall have to follow my own advice and go for a walk!
Hmmm, nahhh. Even keeping up the same activity level and weight, the collagen that supports your tissues breaks down and you start getting bumpy and saggy. Especially in women and especially after menopause. I've been a gym goer for 36 years and have seen many, many slender, fit older women who nonetheless have sags, bumps, and bulges. Including myself, in spite of all those years of weight lifting and doing many other activities. Even super skinny ladies get saggy skin; however, some of that can be avoided by staying out of the sun, since sunlight breaks down collagen under the skin.
Load More Replies...Just wait until menopause does a number on your body. Put 75 lbs on my otherwise healthy body, of which I have now lost 55, also triggered a gluten sensitivity and thyroid problem (they’re related through Hashimoto’s). Weight, gluten, and thyroid were problems I never had for the first 49 years of my life. Then wait 10+ years to straighten it out and almost feel like yourself again—-but not quite since you’re 10+ years older and have been through “the change”. Is there an upside? Yes. No more periods!
Aye whatever! I wld kill for a body like that! Sick and tired of these people who are like "oh look I have 2 stretchmarks I am a TIGER" If your a tiger hen I'm the queen of the feckin jungle/world I'm a size 10 2 kids and still wobbly bits no matter how hard I try! Just be happy mamas and papas and enjoy your bubba xxx
Yes, just like that, just not one hair but a handfull. And that's why i wash my hair separately. :D
I know right??? I can not STAND to have my hair in the crack of my butt like that, so I end up feeling REALLY weird when I have to run my finger through to get it all out! (I can't believe I am talking about this openly. XD )
Load More Replies...Bend over and rinse it upside down, so none goes “down there”. Also, watch your laundry coming out of the dryer, or you’ll end up with the same thing, only fully dressed and in public.
Oh wow this morning I was wandering if other people have the same problem 😂
Stay sane, stay healthy, and stay safe. Wear a mask, wash your hands, keep your distance, and avoid crowds and inside gatherings. Be nice, be kind, and have a laugh at something silly!
It took me a while to learn that people who expect happiness from anything that can be taken away from them any moment are the furthest from it. Beautiful things and experiences are so easy to get used to but the problem with them is that they’re never enough, there’s always more and bigger and newer and fancier and there are always people who do better than you. If you base your value on things you own, they will end up owning you. The “perfect” life we are sold on social media is a sad one full of denial, distractions, and unresolved traumas. Appreciate nice things for what they are, just things. The truly great things in life are really fucking simple.
I super related to this one. I always dreamed of being a CEO workaholic type of person. Slaving away at my desk for 70 hours a week, always in important meetings, being in control and having a lot of power, be married to an equally powerful man and just be these super busy workaholics together. My husband is the most relaxed person on Earth and career aspirations are low on his priority list. I am still kind of a workaholic but I love that he is not because it balances out our lives and I decided that I would rather spend time at home with him than sitting in an office all day, screw millions of dollars, as long as I can comfortably pay my bills then I am golden where I am.
This is a extreme example. Money doesn't just provide luxuries. It provides the ability to chase our dreams and invest in things. To help charity or pay for the best medical expenses for family and ourselves. If I had money I wouldn't be doing things like owning a yacht or doing parties with drugs or wearing expensive stuff. I would be traveling ,trying new things and taking expensive classes. And trying to help others. great things r not always simple, people make a mark in the world with money. Not saying they can't make without but money helps alot.its our tragedy that most people who have money spend it on stupid stuff and just showoff with it for emphimeral ego

I relate so hard. When I was 8-12 people around me conditioned me into believing all I want/need is a working husband and to be a stay-at-home mother to 2-4 kids. 4 years later, I realize I actually want a girlfriend/wife who loves me, my dream job and to foster/adopt 1 or 2 children, preferably teenagers.

I have a few friends of this caliber. They stabilize the entire world.
When growing up, my favorite TV chef was the Frugal Gourmet. He was a mild mannered Norwegian who taught how to cook yummy things cheap. One day, while making baklava, he put down everything and yelled at the camera, "YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH GARLIC", then continued layering filo dough like it never happened. Its still my favorite cooking show moment.
Load More Replies...There have been times when I am cooking a pot of slow-food with a lot of different ingredients that I do get a feeling of slowly stirring a witches' brew. The food usually turns out great, as if by magic!
I always feel like a monster when I say I simply prefer adults at all times, but what can I do about it? Us women are all different, with different desires, preferences, and life goals, and for some being a mother is none of them - at the time or at all. But as we all are nurturing in one way or another, a childless woman can contribute so much to making the world better and we’re running on more sleep to do so. Love to mamas and love to kidless ladies, we all deserve to follow our hearts without judgement!
The world is still changing, not everybody would be OK with the single, childless, independent woman - mostly by projecting old fashioned life standards on their environment; "how dare you are alone, free-spirited, and on top even happy with your life!? This cannot be true, you cannot be satisfied with such a life..." Overheard such things many, many times (mostly women bitching women). On the other hand childless people (don't make a difference tween men and women) are putting themselves into the position of criticizing (most often) single moms when they are experiencing a child mid-breakdown. That breaks my heart, too, as nobody really knows what kind of situation this mom (or dad) has to actually overcome atm. It's not only a crying / screaming child... there is always more beneath the surface... Just make your view on life a bit more permissive would make this place a better one for sure.
Just an FYI, "childless" usually refers to people who want, but cannot have children. The term for people who do not want children is "childfree".
Load More Replies...I have two kids. I love them to the Moon and back. I've always wanted kids. I had them at right time with the right man. But...oh my God...parenting is sooooo hard, so full of dissapointment, silent tears...it's not for everybody.
I had a very, very dear friend, much older than me, older than my parents in fact, but a great friend. She was born in 1920 and decided that she did not want to have a family because she wanted to see the world. At fifty, she ended up marrying a man from a different country, and though she never gave birth to any children, her husband's son always introduced her as his mother and she was the grandmother of his children, but also an extra grandmother of all her friends' children. She died in 2004 and she is missed by many of us who were lucky to know her.
This! In some cultures it's like a crime to not want kids. Often time girls get pressured or shamed into wanting kids. Not wanting kids should be a norm, not something that people give you a double look for! I'm not a girl, but stop making us childless people explain ourselves - we can be unmarried, childless, and happy.
Exactly!! Children are awful happiness stealers. It's been proven that childfree women are way happier and childfree couples are happier and divorce less.
A lot of the time babies or toddlers scream or cry a lot for no discernable reason, or because they're pissed that they can't have whatever it is they want right that second. Life still has to happen, despite the screaming baby.
The first baby cries and screams a lot, the second a lot less, and the third only when it is really serious!

Load More Replies...Interesting facts: 60's = Twiggy was anorexic. 80's = the curves were criticised initially as being to "amazonian" / "warrior-like". 90's = Kate Moss was publicly insulted for years for causing heroine addiction, and being "ugly" and "too skinny". 10's = the shape of Kim Kardashian was the same shape that Jennifer Lopez was trashed for having ie curvier butt and hips.... and Kim wears corsetry to create her "small waist" ie the 10's took us back 100 years where women wore corsets for the same reason. The 10's just called them "waist trainers" instead. ie no era is ever perfect for every women, and we should just let women be themselves. <3

Kamala is the incoming Vice President of the United States and Melania is our current president’s First Lady. There’s a running joke that Melania is “trapped”, even though she too is more than complicit in her husband’s activities. It’s just a joke that Kamala and Biden, by being elected, have freed Melania. It’s also speculated that she is a gold digger and now that she knows how much debt the president is in, she will leave him immediately after leaving the White House.

Unfortunately 2020 is robbing us of those, unless we have a death wish, so we’ll just have to dress up for Zoom parties until the pandemic is under control, a useable vaccine is released, and things get back to whatever the new normal is going to be (doubtful it will ever be restored to pre-pandemic conditions—-which may turn out to be a good thing, we’ll just have to wait and see).
Live and let live. You wanna do push-ups? Knock yourself out, sweetie. Just don’t try to push the rest of us to do them too. If we want to, we will. If not, we’ll tell you you’re doing great and leave it at that.
Exercise is important, but there are so many ways to do it. Just find an option you enjoy. Personally, I like to blast music in an empty room and flail around in a way that could possibly be called dancing.
'Every single time!! I hug guys with my head bent back like an exorcism patient and still get stains on their shirts, so I started yelling “No no I don’t want to get makeup on you” when hugs are initiated. They usually say “I don’t care” but I feel mortified. Anyone else?'
I wear tinted moisturizer and it can still do this a bit.
Load More Replies...Too much of a good thing is bad for everyone. All things in moderation.
I have a trick. Use your hand to block where your face touches the shirt. Two ways in this pics angle: 1. Place your left, non hugging arm, palm facing down on their right shoulder for you to place your face on while right arm loops around they're neck. Kinda how you may lay on your pillow, if you're a side sleeper. 2. Hook you left arm around their right shoulder on top (not under their armpit) where your hand comes back around and you place your face on back of your hand. Hard to explain but both work well!
Make-up to be attractive, then when you attract someone who wants to hold you, you won't let him hold you because your attracting stuff makes you feel bad. Doesn't it EVER get tiring, ladies?
It's a backwards tan......and the sad thing is, is that some women do this on the daily and THINKS it looks good.

I don't bother with makeup really. When I do, it's not to impress, more to feel good about myself
You don't feel good about yourself with your natural looks? Fake looks make you feel better about yourself. What about changing your looks makes you feel good about yourself? Where is the "yourself" in this equation?

I AGREE!!! I don't want it have kids, I'm sterile and i would rather change a guy, than change my mind. But it's soooo frustrating, when I hear all the f time "you will change your mind". Stop.

Love the realistic "non-cartoonish" style and the ever pertinent messages to all women.
Really pretty art style, and I love how this comic has a mostly non-judgemental vibe compared to a lot of other "relatable" comics
i thought this would be another "im not like other girls #relatable" comic post... was not, thank goodness!
most of these r so relatable like anna waking up for elsa's coronation day.
Empowering comes from within, not from someone else. So does pressure. Internalizing what you *think* others are saying/thinking about you is what needs to be met with, recognized, accepted, and overcome.

Just stop. Accept people the way they are. I'm not walking around people and talking about tattoos or saying, that they will change their minds and get one. I respect others, their opinions and their choices. Do same or go home

Love the realistic "non-cartoonish" style and the ever pertinent messages to all women.
Really pretty art style, and I love how this comic has a mostly non-judgemental vibe compared to a lot of other "relatable" comics
i thought this would be another "im not like other girls #relatable" comic post... was not, thank goodness!
most of these r so relatable like anna waking up for elsa's coronation day.
Empowering comes from within, not from someone else. So does pressure. Internalizing what you *think* others are saying/thinking about you is what needs to be met with, recognized, accepted, and overcome.
I'm jus saying are u sarcastically saying they are amazing?? Just asking no offense
Load More Replies...I heard about a girl who was going to get a sterilization, because she didn't want children. On the day the (male) doctor arrived with his nurses in tow and asked her if she was sure, that she wouldn't regret it. She answered "No but it is better than if I had a child and regretted that" She told, that the nurses tried not to grin so that he would hear them.
