As Dhaliwal says, everyone (not just women) should have a great time. That’s a smart insight for any reader, even one who, like me, has a penis.
The page of cloud penises is funny, but also surprisingly though-provoking: If you don’t see penises all the time, then you don’t see penises all the time. I rarely laugh out loud at comics, but Dhaliwal approaches her fantastical premise at unexpected angles, revealing humor in the collapse of some old assumptions-and the continuation of others. Just a cute, tongue-in-cheek feminist comic.”ĭhaliwal’s self-description is as on target as the book itself. The idea for Woman World came fairly soon after, I never wanted it to be preachy or forcing any sort of message. Soon after a couple different friends, and friends of friends posted their signs, t-shirts and banners from the march on social media, and we all watched an instant backlash from certain types of people online. Everyone (not just women) had a great time, I loved it. “The march was so refreshing, exciting and supportive. The graphic novel is an expanded compilation of the Instagram series she began after the 2017 Women’s March. If this post-apocalyptic future doesn’t sound so bad, you need to get a copy of Aminder Dhaliwal‘s Woman World. And though art by male artists won’t disappear, when you look at a painting that used to foster “unrealistic standards” for feminine beauty, you’ll only notice the unrealistic heaps of fruit. Even better, when you look at a sky filled with dozens of explicitly phallic-shaped clouds, you’ll only see the one that looks like a fish. Oh, and no feminism-since feminism as defined as gender equality between men and women will go extinct with the passing of the last man. There will be no more: shirts that button on the wrong side, dildo factories, Starbucks, race wars, Twinkies, “motorized chariots”, malls, and tooth whiteners. There will also be a few new things, like mayoral elections with only one, self-deprecating candidate and, unless you live in the capital, your village flag will likely feature a Beyoncé body part.īut a world with no men will involve some loss, too. There will still be: ingrown nipple hair, flatulence, vomiting, crushes, nudity, unrequited love, deer sex, doctors, stool samples, traveling art shows, periods, pregnancy, gossip, artificial legs, mixed messages, break-ups, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Oprah worship, monogamy, anxiety issues, and bananas. It turns out that a world without men won’t be completely different from a world with them.
