In a way, what I had in mind isn’t that important. After all, art assumes its own meanings once it’s in the public sphere. Without the cartoonist to explain his cartoon, readers bring their own experiences and biases to bear to it, and that becomes the real meaning.
I was ruefully commenting on the fact that, while women seem to have made much progress in the workplace and in educational aspiration, much of that progress seems to have resulted more from men backsliding. This is especially true due to the fact that men have suffered disproportionately from layoffs in the current Depression, prompting many feminists to wonder whether they’ve been conned.
