I Am Woman

Below is a feminist deconstruction of the phallo-centric, patriarchic oppression of womyn in the late 20th century by means of re-enforcing gender stereotype.

As part of the sisterhood, Nora has taken her lead from such feminist 'humour' as Six Chix, Dykes To Watch Out For and Bitchy Bitch.

(Click on the images to view the detail of the denigrating archetypes):

Notice how the man uses his superior size and virility to physically intimidate our sister with an understated threat of violence. Leave him! Can't you see he's oppressing you!

Yes, typical male. Just check that aloof expression - classic emotional abuse tactics - withhold love, give love.

But check the last frame, it may be possible that there is hope.

Plans? If you mean getting a job! NEVER! Work is for squares.
As part of the progressive leftist construct, we can applaud 'the other' for exploring his feminine side through his artistic pursuits which is part of his acceptable latent homosexuality and his rejection of autocratic capitalism with a brave, impassioned appeal that should inspire the revolutionary proletariat.



But then again, perhaps not.

Yes, Dick... I DO love you enough to marry you! But listen to me... What would we live on?
What a disappointment he turned out to be. After delivering such a promising blow to the Bourgeoisie, he demands that his cultural superior conform to the despotic institution called 'marriage'.

And look at our sister suffer angst. Naturally she requires liberation as she still believes that she needs to remain dependent on a 'husband' as a father substitute. Vile men!



Good on you sister! You've broken out of the oppressive regime of male dependence! Have you thought about exploring your inner lesbian? Your friend looks nice.



Noooooo, you CAN forget him.

Look, the doctor can prescribe you some happy pills, also there is a good psychotherapist you should see.



Well I suppose if you are going to conform, this is an acceptable outcome. Look at the example of the oppressor class. On his knees, as he should be.

She is Womyn: Hear Her Roar!
