Abstract

Cartoon

November 17, 1997 issue

add to cart   close window

The cartoon tries to show the mindset of the priests towards women. It very beautifully draws parallel between Islamic and Christian fundamentalism and how much they are common in thinking. The caricatures show a bird in conversation with a man who has a badge on his coat reading "I love Jesus." The male chauvinistic view against the women has been depicted. It considers women as a beautiful object for the pleasure of the male folk. The caricature strikes at this thinking about women, which considers them a commodity, always at the beck and call of men.
