24 Interesting Comics Depicting An Honest Illustration Of The Pressures Women Face From Society
"Men should not show emotions, and women should apply makeup."
When more and more people adhere to the same standard, it becomes a societal expectation that is mutually and openly agreed upon without the necessity of a law. Men should not show emotions, and women should apply makeup—these are two widely held beliefs that can be found everywhere.
However, we are all unique, and these "expectations" do not accurately describe the vast majority of people. As a result, artist Lainey Molnar focuses on these issues in her comics, which resonate with many, particularly women. According to Dr. Madeline Levine, a renowned child psychologist, “The pressure to conform to societal norms can be overwhelming, especially for women, who often feel they must meet unrealistic standards.”
Lainey's work has previously been featured on various social media platforms. In addition to her comic illustrations, Lainey recently began posting short videos about being a woman, relationships, and identity, which she loves. Dr. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist, states, “Society often imposes roles that can stifle individuality, but it’s essential to embrace one’s true self.”
She is determined to delve even deeper to help women all over the world. Many women are chastised or shunned by society for not meeting the "right" milestones, whether they are pursuing them at the wrong time or have completely different plans than what is expected. As Dr. Gary Chapman emphasizes, “Understanding and accepting diverse paths in life is crucial for emotional well-being.”
Lainey's goal is to remove the burden of societal stigma from every woman's shoulders because personal life decisions that do not harm others are neither right nor wrong; they are purely personal. If you want to see some of the best works from Lainey, you've come to the right place.
