As a well-endowed Latina woman from Spanish Harlem with a generous cup myself, I have had plenty of white misognistic bastards up for a Saturday fling pant and slober over me after only a couple of mojitos. As such I have read this thread with disdain and disgust. Most responses here, whether from well-meaning, chivalrous men, or from those encouraging this ignominious behavior by a complete idiot and his cheering section of Neanderthals who seem to believe that women should be seen and not heard, have missed the point.
This seemingly meaningless cartoon seems to me to be about ownership issues and a patriarchal narrative that bestows the right to tell women what to think and how to dress on the white male, who also reserves the right to tell all others who he considers his inferiors what they must do. In short, issues of male ownership are reserved for the white male exclusively. To men like most of those depicted here with few exceptions women are either reified body parts, or expressions of male power or status or both. In short, women are property, a relationship that has been enforced historically through economic inequality. And economically independent women are threatening because they are independent and cannot be controlled in the normal power relations established by the capitalist system, in which family, as an ideological construct, sanctifies one particular form of household organization, treating it as a universal ideal: that form is patriarchal, the nuclear body with a male head. This distasteful and degrading patriarchal narrative underlies most responses here whether against that originally posted or that of the loons, goons and buffoons who responded in agreement.
To pretend as some here have that a rejection of his prehistoric representation is a result of a "thin skin" is to confuse women with the uttertly predictable rehearsals of mindless bromides and glib sophistries that we women have to confront in real life on a daily basis.
What remains to be adequately explained is why the caveman claims he is changing his name after the debates; does this indicate some kind of misogynistic psychological warfare against a woman who dared enter the white male purview of a debate generally reserved for men, and in so doing, challenged this particular white male, who apparently has some still unidentified and unresolved masculinity issues, frightening him into an irrational response?
