To me, the whole deal with women's rights, gender equality, and feminism is something that men, women, teenagers and children should look into. In my case, I think that men have put themselves on this pedestal. Feminism is not a way to push the man off and have women hog the pedestal, but a way for the man to make room for so the woman can sit down as well.(s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/7…)

It's time for us artists to change the way society views and portrays women. Remove the sterotypical skinny, skimpy,big-breate comic/magazine images you see and draw women as actual human beings, not objects.
