Artist Illustrates Hilarious Daily Happenings And Conversations That Are Frustratingly Relatable For Women
Don't worry, it's not just you. There are others too.
Everyone has daily struggles; they aren't new; it's how the world works. Some of them happen so often that you develop a coping reflex to get through them.
People share their struggles, but women experience many moments that men couldn't comprehend. They're frustrating and even downright embarrassing, leading you to doubt whether anyone else goes through them the way you do.
A Brazilian cartoonist named Deya Muniz candidly illustrates women's daily struggles—struggles she herself experiences at the age of 22.
Her work aims to provide a light touch to topics that are usually a hassle for women, such as periods or societal standards of beauty. She includes things that people associate with women, including makeup and shopping, but also everyday experiences.
Her comics do not generalize what women feel; rather, they reflect her personal experiences, which tend to resonate with many. It's a way for her to express her rants and complaints without casting them in a negative light.
Exploring Muniz's cartoons can make you feel that the little burdens you experience are more bearable, and perhaps you can find a kindred spirit. They are unconsciously geared toward women who need a little pick-me-up or who seek solidarity through, ironically, shared struggles.
