Dear Cricket,
Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue
Dear Cricket,
Dear Cricket,
You should all stop bullying Ladybug. If she were a boy, you'd be calling her a good leader.
"When a little boy asserts himself, he's called a 'leader.' Yet when a little girl does the same, she risks being branded 'bossy,'"- Sheryl Sandberg. I am an activist and I will stand for equal rights and I think everybuggy is being sexist to Ladybug. Thank you.
Dear Activist,
You make a good point. I really don't think we bully Ladybug, but I'll think about it.
Love,
Cricket

Sorry, I'm confused. Do you mean to say that insisting on one's own way and being generally obnoxious is leadership? I know this is about a comis strip and doesn't matter, but not giving an annoying person their own way all the time is not sexist. Ladybug already sees herself as a victim-- don't confirm that for her, Cricket! ;D

It would be leadership if she were a boy.

I agree.

Whoa, this is from March! Ha ha, I though this looked familiar.
If Ladybug was super-kind and stuff, the comics would be drab. She makes stuff interesting. And she's not exactly that bossy.
(personally if a boy was being bossy I wouldn't call him a leader)

aww, ladybug isn't bullied. And I don't think it's sexist, either. She is totally a bossypants!

Uh, I'm probably wrong, but does it even say anywhere in the comics that Ladybug is a girl? I mean, we all assume she is because LADYbug, but... do they ever use a female pronoun?
(August 5, 2016 - 11:27 am)
Admins, do you know if it ever says Ladybug is a girl?
She is a girl, but I don't know if it says that anywhere. She's just always referred to as she.

Ooh, this old thread!
I'm making a new thread with a similar argument.
