"They did it first," was something my mother had me broken of by the time I was four or so. Justifying it by attaching some sort of culpability on her part because her boss and some of her co-workers commit this sort of behavior is tarring with a broad brush, indeed. I've never heard her say or of anybody else claiming she ever said anything critical about anyone wrapped around their physical appearance.

It bothers me the cartoon is slamming a woman because of judgement over her looks as not meeting some sort of beauty standard.

She's lied. Plenty of times, as did Sean. Should she be allowed to lie because, of course, Sean lied first?

This isn't personal and has nothing to do with you. This just has to with the cartoon.

Peace.
