A webcomic in one panel. A woman with orange hair stands at the front of a classroom next to a green chalkboard that has a rocket drawn on it. She lectures: 'The phallic shape of rockets clearly belies a scientific bias toward male sexuality!' A seated student, seen from behind, raises a hand and protests: 'That's ridiculous! The Society of Women Engineers spent years developing a vulva-shaped rocket, and we never got anywhere!' A caption below reads: 'SWE Rocketry, Week 27. Reasearch Notes: The men keep stealing our rockets!' Votey (small follow-up panel, black-and-white sketch): one man holds out an open hand to another and says wryly, 'Let's be honest: do you really want them back?'
