Sexist cartoon depressing for reader

Dear Editor I enjoy edgy editorial cartoons as much as the next person, but, wow, the Christy Clark “What she says, What we hear” catfight cartoon the other day was just depressing.

Dear Editor

I enjoy edgy editorial cartoons as much as the next person, but, wow, the Christy Clark “What she says, What we hear” catfight cartoon the other day was just depressing.

You know what I hear? “I’m an out of date male cartoonist who thinks it’s still 1952, and has no respect for his mother, wife, sister or daughter.” Perhaps that’s not true, but that’s what I hear.

And he got it all wrong anyway, it’s not “meow meow meow,” what I hear from Christy Clark’s mouth is more like, “I’m doing all the same stupid non-progressive, conservative things all the white guys have done before me.” There, now I’m sexist, too. Apparently it’s still all the rage.
