A red title banner reads: "Signs feminism has succeeded: everyone's internalized it." Below, a comic panel shows a frightened woman tied to a chair with rope in a dim room. Two men wearing blank white masks hold large knives and loom over her, while a third masked man stands behind her. One of the masked attackers says in a speech bubble, "Wait... guys... is this sexist?" In the votey (aftercomic), a single masked man, drawn in a rougher sketch style, replies, "Stab in a gender neutral way." The joke: even violent kidnappers now pause to second-guess whether their crime is sexist, the punchline being to simply commit the violence "gender neutrally."
