Instead of just enjoying these by myself every once in awhile, as I’ve been doing, I thought I’d share. We can laugh (and we can cry) as we continue to work towards changing this dynamic.

Robby Robin's Journey 
It’s so laughingly sad.
Just last week, a director for our business unit suddenly disappeared from the ranks. Then 2 wks. later it was announced she retired. This is someone with over 15 years in senior management roles.
Wonder what she did to annoy the top male dog.
Wow. So sorry to hear this, Jean. I shouldn’t say this, but depending very much on the top dog, it may not have taken much! 😉 I was lucky and mostly had excellent ‘top dogs’ to work for and who mentored me. But … from time to time the stereotype with the fragile male ego would emerge!
She didn’t get a proper ‘retirement’ goodbye from her gang…like a normal retirement. Even during covid, one can do all sorts of great stuff online..like what we did for our immediate manager. So something else negative happened to her. She was a refreshing change with lots of both career and life experience.
Oh, so sorry. That’s just not right.
Laughing because otherwise I’ll be crying. Sigh – so much to fix in the world….
We have to be able to see the perverse humor in these things as we work to fix them. THE SOONER THE BETTER!!!
😀 Love these! (At least all’s equal in the bedroom! 😉 )
Lol. We like to think that at least is true, A.S.! 😏
I think the interview one is my favorite. 🙂 – Marty
You weren’t on a hiring panel like that one, right, Marty?!!
Laughing me here, Jane. I was never included in one. I suspect they didn’t trust me to not tell the truth about the operations. 🙂
😂😂🤣 Kind of like the final cartoon, eh?! 😏
Yep!
OMG. Soul destroying. 😳🥵
Sigh.
Exactly! 😥
Wonderfully illustrative of the blind spots a lot of men exhibit at times, thanks again Jane for your wit and wisdom.
Thanks, Wayne. “Blind spot” is a reasonable way of describing this behaviour insofar as it’s so ingrained; way past time to change that!
Il n’y a pire aveugle que celui qui ne veut point voir. – Proverbe
Parfait, Julien, merci. For readers who don’t speak French, this translates into English to: There is none more blind than he who will not see. Sadly, that is being shown to be true in many areas these days, including not only too many men not taking female colleagues seriously but also with the denial by so many of the seriousness of COVID.
Wow, this is definitly very thought provoking. Love the way this is all illustrated by pictures, yet it is so powerful.
Thanks, Vicky. If only these cartoons weren’t speaking the truth!
