With femicide, DV of all types and sexual violence stats showing the war on women, along with this gender woo woo is very, very real and waged by individuals and Governments causing high rates of poverty for children and poverty, homelessness and no access to the existing law or justice oppression of women, particularly Mothers (which is just the way men as a class like it for unfettered access to women’s bodies and unpaid labour and children’s bodies to be legally and paid to be trafficked as Mothers are increasingly disrespected, unsupported and exhausted so access to their reproductive resource are exploitable by men) it’s a damn fine question.

Get those women back into the industrial machine to work for low or no (slave) wages or caring for men again unpaid and pass the children off to others often with other agendas (money or sex) ALL of which is still the current MO.

In New Zealand there are laws like Social Security Act which directly limit our freedoms and contradict our other rights under Dissolution of Marriage, Property Relationships Act and Child Support Act etc and excludes women’s access to Justice as lawyers are unaffordable and Legal Aid inaccessible to women.

This toxic stew has one goal and effect and that is to disenfranchise and impoverish and enslave women ensuring we remain 2nd class citizens and then it’s all veiled in secrecy.

Women don’t even know they’re being this deceived and it takes some experience to work it out and see how we are coerced and failed by systems with certain duties and obligations to women and children by law.

No wonder erasing and appropriating us and our names and identities (now down to our DNA)is the go to option given the magnitude of this crime against half of humanity.

It's vile, I agree. Women on both sides of "the ditch" need to get together to fight this faux-progressive assault on our rights IMO.

Really women are simply treated as though we have no rights and can’t access them as this is obstructed quite purposefully. So why wouldn’t bully boys both establishment and non establishment simply disregard our existence or their obligations and take everything we have? Taking our biological reality away is next level and a line has to be drawn and a stand made with restitution made for damage done to us and our children due to this oppression appropriation and denial of our reality and now even our existence. Just because we are all busy with children and working paid and unpaid and disregarded so we can’t engage at the level of governance doesn’t mean men should be able to take further advantage of women’s predicament. They need to start to ask women as a class, especially working class women and Mothers what is required. No decisions made are valid without this engagement.

Fabulous. These are beautiful and very much to the point. And can I say Graham and Rover/Comix? Bravo to you both.

Misunderstanding discussed and resolved without rancour. Gracious apology, equally gracious acceptance. Wish everyone would listen like that. A better world this would be.

Totally! No one threw a fit, no one plastered the misunderstanding all over the Internet. 👍

Thank you. These are eye-catching!

As Rad Dude says, variations on WW2 themes will resonate.... as Brexit disaster may elicit a "war mentality".

Wonderful. I would buy the whole set.

HUGE potential for this! Dozens of WWII posters await adaptation to the fight against the new enemy.

That poster was not anti-Semitic and was not intended to associate the site with anti-Semitism. It was a poster consisting of 6 frames. Each of the first 5 shows an absurd claim which has been publicised and has led to dreadful consequences: the Brexit claim about the NHS, the anti-vaccination claim, the one suggesting Covid is a hoax, the Stonewall claim that women can have penises, the Nazi propaganda poster. But the clear intention is not to endorse those claims. On the contrary, the conclusion is Voltaire's warning in panel 6, namely "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities". Thus the intention is to put the Stonewall claim on a par with the Nazi one, both claims being absurd, both leading to atrocity. Would you mind looking at the poster again, please?
