In the rising controversy
against the opinions of president elect Donald Trump, women’s rights is one
that majorly stands out. Only a short bit ago, millions of women across the
nation got together in their cities to march for the rights they deserve. Using
peaceful protests to get the attention of the problem at hand, women marched
together. It is a fact that men on average get paid more than women, even
sometimes for the same exact job. This political cartoon depicts the cutout of
a man as an entrance to good careers, implying that women are not cut out for
good careers and although employers claim that they give equal opportunities,
they do not.
This visual, attempting to reach the general public of
America, is trying to get the message across that women indeed are not equal.
The visual even goes to the extent to say that many employers are lying to the
public by saying the give equal opportunity when they do not. Amidst the rising
tension between Trump and the women of America, this visual has quite an occasion.
The author utilizes contrast in their political cartoon.
The contrast of the women’s shape to the shape of the man shows that there is a
really big problem in the difference between the opportunity men and women get.
The contrast effectively shows women being less than men.
The author’s purpose is to show what is happening and
open the public’s eyes to what is happening. The author wants to visually show
the disadvantage women are always at. Ultimately, the author is urging the
public to take action and defend women and get them the rights they deserve.
This was effective, considering the amount of recent attention to women’s
rights.
