Lainey Molnar is back on Bored Panda with even more thought-provoking illustrations. With her art, she challenges and explores societal norms surrounding femininity, body image and more.

The artist creates empowering comics that resonate with women from around the world. "I personally believe that important or heavy topics are processed in a straightforward way - with just a few words - and with colorful and fun drawings it’s easier to relate to and connect over. I always mean to start conversations more than make statements, this content is as much about the individual stories and opinions shared in comments as the illustration itself," Lainey shared with Bored Panda.

What if he'll murder me AND doesn't look like his photos so it will be harder for the police to find him?

One thing I really hate is how some people will call a woman a "pick-me" just for not being traditionally feminine.

Same! Pick-me used to be a useful term for girls who throw other women under the bus in pursuit of male attention, but over time it's just become another way for traditionally feminine women to feel superior to butch or generally nontraditional girls (as if they needed another reason). Kind of a shame, but I guess that's just the internet for you :/

Yeah! I don't wear makeup because I have sensitive skin, and I don't wear dresses/skirts or high heels because they're uncomfortable, but that somehow makes me a "pick-me"

how to be a woman, a simple guide. step 1: be over the age of 21. step 2: say you're female. step 3: you are now a woman, congrats.

Woman is woman no matter their appearance. Man is man no Matter their appearance. Neither is neither no matter their appearance

I really like the styles of the two on the sides. I'm all for short hair, high socks, and oversized coats. I love to be comfy after a long week of working at the hospital, and I'm gonna be a ragamuffin.

Wait it’s 2024, woman is defined by that gender expression. Sex is not.

There is a video on you tube explaining why so many models fall over on the run way. Basically the shoes they are made to wear are terrible. For all sorts of technical reasons. by Nicole Rudolph

But sometimes self-care can look like and be self-centeredness.... it's quite a balance to strike.

I’m not sure if an image of her should be next to a Meryl Streep quote? Meryl is brilliant, why not an illustration of her instead?

My hair color changed when puberty happened. It's sad because my hair used to have such a pretty color.
