Best Political Cartoons

its negated seeing as what we see is different from what they see

I'll try to find something.

Please do, and I'm being serious here. Because I would like to see some genuine sources about how often this happens. Because I'm curious. I'm not saying you're full of crap, but I've only ever heard bits and pieces about it before and I'd like to see some legitimate stats.

Also seeeing as the cartoonist wants to repeal the 19th amendmentI get the feeling that he wants to be able to beat up women

That seems likely, given that the duo behind this are a pair of misogynistic pricks.  But that doesn't mean they don't have a point.

My boything has a phrase he uses a lot: even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.

Just because someone gets a little something right doesn't mean all of their arguments have merit.

I've heard the same, but with squirrels ^^.

Like I said, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.  They're horrible dicks, but in this case, they have a point.  Of course, that doesn't make any of their other material any better.

Well depends imo it doesnt since in the context of the other strips is bad

Well at least the woman on the left has the freedom to wear what she wants. She isn't forced to wear a bikini and won't be stoned in the street if she doesn't do so.

Not all women in burqas are forced to wear them.  That's an Islamophobic misconception.

for once paragon is right in france women are forced to not wear a niqab

At least some of them are, that's the point. Once that's the case, it gets hard to really decide when one wears them by choice or because they are forced to.

There isn't really a law against niqab per se,  it's more that it's forbidden to hide one's face in public places, or to wear ostentatious religious garments in schools and mairies and whatnot.

that doesn't really make the law pro islam also almost no nations have a niqab mandate

Why would you need pro-islam laws in a secular country? As long as they aren't anti-islam, what's the big deal? (and no, they really aren't anti-islam as written. True, the law might be abused because case of people wearing carnival masks don't lead to a police intervention while people marching with niqab might, but that's not a problem with the letter of the law in and of itself.)

You have a point.  Parade regulations were often used against civil rights marchers.

On the other hand, I'm pretty damn sure this law was specifically targeted at Muslims.

It's pretty hard to be sure. There have certainly been people saying that here in France, but others are defending the law saying that no religion should be allowed to be visible in public, and since staying visibly secular is a big thing in french politics (to the point that every time a political movement eyes our equivalent of the religious right the presse goes into an uproar), it's a bit hard to tell who's right and who's wrong.
I for one am not against that law. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong.

Honestly, I think dress codes in general tend to be pretty fucking stupid, specially for schools.  Can't come to school wearing short-shorts?  Well, if your teachers weren't so god damned boring, maybe the students wouldn't be so easily distracted.  Plus, a lot of them are teenagers, or to put it a better way, a horde of kids who are at various stages of extreme hormonal changes whose decision-making skills are largely dictated by their genitals.

Seriously, though, I'd go to France in full face-mask-and-gown attire (whatever the proper term for that is in Muslim society) just to fuck with the limp-dick assholes who make such asinine laws.  Though, I do find it somewhat ironic that a country most stereotypically known for an abundance of extreme promiscuity has moronic dress code laws.
