If I used breast imagery in a pictorial political satire i.e. David Cameron’s face looks like a tit, is it unacceptable and like the use of breast imagery in a lads mag?

Dittany I have been one of the first women to of officially to have broken a completely male dominated medium in the UK, it?s taken 10 years of some of the most awful sexist abuse off other male political cartoonists. Will you deny me my self expression as an artist and my achievement as a woman?

Will you suport me when they try to silence me as a women in a male only environment?

I have been accused of sleeping with people to get my self along, and also merely a product of positive discrimination.

I can do the job, I have proved that.

I am currently researching female political cartoonists and have found contemporaries of Hogarth and gillray, they fucken wrote us out. See (posted earler) blog.seattlepi.com/bookpatrol/2010/03/11/the-mother-of-pictorial-satire-or-why-did-yankee-doodle-call-his-hat-macaroni/
I have had cartoon historians tell me to my face there has never been any.
Allot of the time women used nicknames after the 18th century, only came back when the sufferjets political artists got bizzy.They are not called political artists in the books ,they are called sufferjet propagandists. Bollox no?

Mary Darly was rude and controversial; she was pro America/French rev and john Wilkes. In American she is held in the museum of congress and exhibited along side Hogarth etc. She is not recognized in this country, she is called a 'print seller' in the cartoon museum in london. Even after the death of her husband in 89, and her name is written on the bottom of the cartoon, they are still attributed to her work to her husband in the UK.

I'm really struggling how you can't do all this without using sexist language? This is the missing bit of the puzzle for me.

I don't think I'll ever be able to look at my milk-swollen breast in quite the same way again.

AliceWhirled, its how I speak in real life, I?m from a working class background.
I prefer to walk the walk. I leave the talk to others.

This write up from yesterday hits the nail on the head.
