ART & DESIGN

Created using Illustrator; used only typeface (wolf is drawn with parentheses and slashes).

This comic demonstrates the issue of gender discrimination during the hiring process in China. On one side of the coin, it appears to be an issue of sexism. On the flip side, irresponsible and dishonest women are contributing to the problem.

Synopsis: In this comic, two women are rejected solely because they are young women who hasn’t married. Thus, the short-haired woman proceeds to fake her marital status on her resume and claims that she is married and already has a kid. The long-haired woman proceeds by claiming that she doesn’t want a partner and wants to stabilise her career first. After she got the job, she immediately had kids but still received wages while other employers had to do her work. After receiving the wages, she quit the job entirely. In other words, she received wages by barely doing any work. At the same time, the short-haired woman received a job offer after faking her martial status, who knows what she’d do next?
