Women s studies?

I am taking a women s studies class and need to come up with a political cartoon about women s rights or women in the news. I was thinking of showing Hillary vs Trumps criticism and for the Hillary talking about what she is wearing, this could also go for a female celeb at a red carpet event. Or this one is a bit dark but someone was hurt (a woman) and when told they said she was asking for it because her dress was too short.

What ideas do you have please help?

    "I am taking a women s studies class and need to come up with a political cartoon about women s rights or women in the news"

    If you want to talk about women's Rights, you should make one that contains the last Right that women do not have across the board in the West. And that is the Rights to go topless in public. Otherwise, you could flip the script and talk about how it's men that lack more Rights in today's Western society

    Bring up men's legal obligation to the Selective Service, or how they are often legally discriminated against by the state via affirmative action, just because they are men. Or how men are often denied access to the same taxpayer funded benefits and programs that are provided to women only under various "empowerment" programs.

    If you just want to speak about today's feminist issues such as the clothing issues that women face in society then I can't help you there. It's just such a non-issue from my perspective.

    Talking to her staff about how they must make women earn as much as men when the very staff she's talking to, women are paid less than men by her. Maybe have hourly rates on their shirts or something.

    Maybe something about how she's said she's going to have half women on her cabinet no matter what and how sexist this is compared to hiring people because of their ability.

    Go deeper. How about the accusations that people would vote for her based on her sex, but that is exactly what has been happening for centuries, voting men into office because they are male. Draw legions of famous men behind Trump while he makes that accusation. Draw just a few famous leading women behind Hillary. Include Malala Yousafzai.

    With either one, it's a matter of going up and down the hill trying to fetch a pail of water, rather than do this on level ground. Making everyone else try and follow suit with it, isn't going to produce the results needed.

    hmm the trump vs clinton thing I dont think would be very solid, just because i think most anti-hillary people dislike her for her past/policies rather than her gender. Essentially, it would be a red herring argument. Maybe do the victim blaming thing, since it is somewhat prominent in today's society.

    You are a bigotted sexist hypocrite.

    What are you doing about the gender work deaths gap?
