11. What would the female equivalent of this toon look like?
I bet it wouldn't get the chuckles this one is getting.

14. I totally thought about that as well! I'm not saying I don't find Bertie repellent in the...
...extreme, or that I find this funny, but I was considering posting something like "You know, you can only get away with this implied mutilation if it's a guy and probably only if he's caucasian."

Just imagine, say, something similar with (?) a woman being hung by her breasts in a similar comical manner. I can't imagine how disgusted I would be at the image. I like when people point this sort of disparity, as you have done. For those willing to ponder it for more than a moment, it reminds us that while we like to think we're un-biased, we actually have all sorts of little (or not so little) biases running around that we also likely have blind spots to.

17. So that's what a petard is. He's most definitely hoisted by it...
:)

(Disclaimer: I actually do know what a petard really is. I'm just reaching - feebly - for a joke...)
