People are reading this completely wrong. It's not saying it's bad to play with dolls, or get married or wear makeup. It's just saying it's bad to force those ideals on people. They should get a choice. I never played with dolls as a child and still concider myself a functional woman, I'm not married either and I seldom ever wear makeup. And I'm happy. Feminists and Glossy are promoting freedom of choice, not the doctrine of society that says you are a bad person if you DON'T do this that and the other. It's not the dolls and marriage themselves that are bad you see. It's the fact that theres no option B. It's 'Girls are supposed to do this, they're supposed to wear pink and be ultra girly and laugh at all the guys jokes'. Which IS bullshit.

I get the message.

I appreciate the message.

Not really willing to fight about it with the hateful today, though.

The number of sad insecure half-men that come sliming out from under a rock any time there's a feminism strip on sinfest makes me a saaaad panda.

It mildly bemuses me how some people get so het up that they seem to forget that what we're seeing isn't the political belief system of an actual feminist organization. It's what one guy wrote and drew. These characters can't do or say or think anything that Tat doesn't decide for them -- doesn't command them -- to do and say and think.

Glossy's Sisterhood doesn't actually exist, okay? Get ahold of yourselves, people.

Sheesh.

On another note: Could what we're seeing on the screen be The Life of Fuchsia? That looks more like her than like any other known Devil Girl.

From my agreement with the sentiment of this comic springs forth an epic battle between my inner feminist and my inner and outer anti-ism-ists

I find the problem with this is that isn't this kinda the parents job?

Back when I was a kid I used to watch cartoons with my parents all the time, they basically told me to think rationally about everything when it comes to stuff I see on TV. I remember watching road runner cartoons, and my mom and dad asking "now if you ran of a cliff in real life, what would happen to you?

It was the same when I was growing up. I asked if it was okay if I played with dolls along with my action figures, since most boys seem to never do that. They said it's your choice, and no one has control over you when it comes to those decisions.

So while I can understand in this style of comic with the "patriarchy" being an evil empire that is saturated in real life, rather than a vague idea or excuse, Monique saving Mini was needed, though I do wonder why it had to be her and the patriarchy, and not her family?

heh. Its fun that the first 8 panels could make a comic all by themselves.

Its so sad that this thread started with such a poor understanding of the meaning of this comic. So full of hate and arrogance. I dont wanto to discuss it, i get it. It is bad to force those ideals on people and they should get a choice. Not that the ideals are absolutly wrong, they are just one option.
Thats it.

On a side note, that cloud effect on the last panel. Perfect. So fluffy im gonna die.
