Not armor. Prickles. Get someone to genetically engineer a garment covered in outward-facing nematocysts. Preferably trouser-penetrating ones.

And all these men with their crude advances, do they ever work?

Women already go around with Kevlar, it is called a thick skin from dealing with perverts all their lives. Instead of armoring women, or changing the names of programming, it is time to oust sexual assaulters and teach boys to keep their hands to themselves along with any other body parts. If we really wanted to do something about it, we’d treat these “men” like a black kid with a bag of skittles.

How can you think this is going to stop when this country elects a dotard with a history of multiple sexual attacks on women, as President?

Love the cartoon, Jen …. Thanks!

I’m grinding my teeth in utter disgust while reading it, so yes – absolutely brilliant cartoon Jen.

FAUX Noise H.Q.??

In pre-computer days we actually had a typing pool on the first floor of our building. When the girls (and they actually were; mostly just out of high school) had to to come upstairs they used the back staircase as the shortest route. It took them into the sales department. On the way down, they would light cigarettes to keep the salesmen at arms length. That’s back when women had a spine instead of just a mouth.

Women, complete with spines, have been working to topple this one-sided system for a while. They have help from people who think men should have their own way, and a different kind of help from those who sneer at them from the sidelines as though what they are doing is just talking.

Thank you, Jenn. Brilliant. Both in succinct content, and in a punch line in each panel. (I’ve only seen that done well in Calvin & Hobbs). Rock on, Jenn!

Never had any man with “power” over me attempt anything. BUT a male co-worker fondled my butt one day. I hollared, “YOU EVER TOUCH MY ASS AGAIN, YOU’LL PULL BACK A BLOODY STUMP.” Word got out and I was left alone.
