Traditionally,
women in cartoons have suffered from the same gender bias as in
other medium. They have been objectified and depicted as greedy,
seductive, or as plain frivolous creatures. Even the conventional
body outlines in the cartoon reflect the sexist view of the woman’s
body. Women in power on the subcontinent are no exception to this
bias. Male cartoonists, after all, are the product of the same male
oriented societies. |
