Radical Gender Ideology

This cartoon is by me and Nadine Scholtes.
In a way, it’s also by Samantha Fulnecky, because a lot of the dialog was swiped verbatim from a paper she wrote. But I don’t think she’d appreciate a co-writing credit.
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has four panels.
PANEL 1
A pretty young woman carrying a textbook talks cheerfully.
STUDENT: God made male and female and made us different from each other for a purpose! Trying to change that would only do harm.
PANEL 2
As she speaks, a big thought balloon appears. In the thought balloon, we see Adam and Eve, Adam holding a hammer, Eve holding a broom and a baby. God appears from a cloud, offering Adam a six-pack.
STUDENT: Gender roles aren’t “stereotypes”! Women naturally want to do womanly things because God created us with those womanly desires in our hearts. The same goes for men.
PANEL 3
The snake offers Adam a pretty pink dress; Adam is delighted, hearts in his eyes, dropping his hammer to reach for the desk. In the background, Even watches, holding her baby and crying.
PANEL 4
In the original scene, a second student has appeared, and is giving the first student a skeptical look.
SECOND STUDENT: Huh. So you’re saying it’s the left that’s got a “radical gender ideology”?
FIRST STUDENT: Exactly! Thank Jesus my beliefs are just common sense.
CHICKEN FAT WATCH
“Chicken fat” is obscure cartoonist terminology for silly things we put in the background.
PANEL 1 – There are three flyers on the bulletin board. The first one is incomprehensible because the character’s head is in the way, but it says: “HEY! Please move your head it’s in the way and now they can’t read what I’m saying it’s really unfair.” The second says “LOST” with a picture of a woman holding a cat. Smaller print says “My human. Very tame. Answers to “meow.” If found, please return, I’m hungry.” The third flyer says “Study group seeks lonely smart person. Come do our work for us! Please bring snacks.”
PANEL 2 – God has a “Mom” heart tattoo. There’s a very “My Little Pony” looking Pegasus in the background.
PANEL 3 – Two birds are playing soccer in the background. The snake is wearing a beret. A book on a stump is entitled “Sick Trans Stuff.”
PANEL 4- The second student has a tattoo of the Triforce symbol from the “Legend of Zelda” videogame. There are again three flyers hanging in the background. First flyer: “TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. Everybody else really is happier and more together than you are.” Second: “STUDENT HOUSING.” There’s a picture of a shoebox, and then “You’ll be amazed at how little space you actually need.” Third: “COLLEGE: You’ll never make friends so easily again! It’s kinda sad when you think about it.”
