- Dorothy Cambridge: Yep! I’ve ordered the closure of all boy’s rooms!
- Cloud: WHAT!?
- Dorothy Cambridge: I can’t believe that there are still public institutions in which boys are allowed to expose their privates just inches away from members of the better sex!

In these times of dire need, we men do the unthinkable…we use the women’s bathroom. It’s a lot nicer in there than the boy’s bathroom, so I honestly don’t mind.
Ok, this is just down right villainous
Talk about some messed up issues… Could someone tell her that she’s being oppressive towards the male gender?
Now this is just getting ridiculous. This is too cartoony, even for parody. Must be a dream sequence or something.
Well, she has crossed over from equality warrior to sexist pig in one comic. Granted, I didn’t like her before, but now I just hate her. Shutting down the boys’ restroom? Now that’s just inhumane!
“[boys] expose their privates Inches away from the better sex”? What is she on about? Mens’ washrooms exist precisely so that this doesn’t happen.
So are they supposed to go to the ladies? She sounds like an extreme feminist (feminist means equal rights for both sexes, but some women take it too far :/)
I’m not sure where this is going. Color me cautious.

That old gal’s insane in the membrane…by Larisa standards.
Sorry to go off-topic, but what about an unofficial crossover with a popular video game series? I mean, you guys have seen Powree’s art in [a video-game spin-off comic that will not be mentioned by name]*, right?
*koffmegaman
Also is it just me or does it feel like Cloud is being drawn subtly older looking than he was in his last appearance? It could just be that he looks taller standing next to that crazy lady. I love how the characters are indeed aging even if it’s slowly.
@ Mr_Nabby:
Considering that the responses on the last page took the “feminist” here seriously, I don’t think making it even sillier to get the point across was a bad call.
Can she even do that? Was the principal of the school the one who was teaching them?
Men should pee sitting down anyway. It empties the bladder better than standing.
/This/ was a funny strip. The others felt off, but this one hits the nail on the head. Hopefully this goes somewhere.
And here is where Novil attempts to break Poe’s law of mocking extremists.
@ Jo:
Oh…really…? WELP! you learn something new everyday! Thanks! Now I gotta spread the word to all my guy friends! XP
@ Random lurker:
She is being very extreme because she sees females as superior a.k.a. as the better sex and sees herself as a feminist though she is not, she is being unfair to males. Some ideas have logical fallacies that can’t be seen as easily with foresight than with hindsight e.g. that guys will just enter the girl’s room instead because they aren’t stupid.
@ Jo:
No. No it really doesn’t.
You can stop straw-manning feminism now. We get the point. Unless this is going in some direction I don’t see coming, but all I see is an exaggeration of radical feminism. Which is obnoxious and to be perfectly fair pointless. The real extremists basically mock themselves. And maybe it’s just me but I don’t come to Sandra and Woo to find discussion of modern social issues.
Now that just makes zero sense… someone obviously just broke out from a mental institution 😀
So, is this an attempt to appeal to the conservative fans, or is this going to contradict Sandra’s statement made two strips earlier?
She’s taking the piss!!
Thank you and goodnight *tips hat*
How illegal is the stuff that Mrs. Cambridge is smoking? (Hint: it is not shown in the comic.)
She who fights monsters…
She shouldn’t have done that. Firstly, public buildings are required to provide toilet facilities… and secondly, Boys’ Toilets are usually so repulsive that you wouldn’t want to set foot in them anyway, so she’s wasted effort and materials. Oh, and just inches away, Ms. Cambridge?
Dorothy Cambridge: Yes, just inches! There are just 63,360 of them in a mile, you know!
Did this just become Cloud & Larisa and The Order of the Pee-Nix?
@ Preadatordetector:
She was already a monster. I am sorry, this calls for dowsing her in itching powder and wrapping her in duct tape, and then leaving her in a broom closet.
@ Gargoil-Cat:
She won’t listen. She lives in an echo chamber. I’ve known people that, while not THIS oblivious to reality, were pretty far gone. Definite True Believers. To a true believer, no amount of supporting evidence is necessary and no amount of contrary evidence is enough.
Pretty sure this really is all jokes and satire, but this festival of ignorance is still painful to read. I see enough of this crap on Tumblr. Gonna take a break from S&W until this is over. When is this story due to end? I’d like to know when it’s safe to come back.
Now you’re just being silly
Having cleaned BOTH bathroom types I would disagree. Often as not the “ladies room” was nastier and the graffiti more graphic and spiteful. Honest.

Okay…this gal is the kind that really pisses me off. It’s one thing to push for equality, it’s another entirely to do the exact same thing as a misogynist, just flipping the gender. She a misandrinist, and no better.
But great writing, Oliver! You know you’ve put a character together well when she can rouse feelings of dislike and anger and fully be in two strips. XD
@novil :
I am sending you my popcorn bill. The amount of angst in your readership is impressive.
@everyone else:
I actually think, as it goes, this is closest to representing what some of us refer to as TERFs, trans-exclusive radical feminists. They are pretty much a blight on the world, think anything with a penis is evil, transpeople especially so, and… Yeah. She pretty much fits the bill. It is a segment of feminism even radbid (though admittedly trans, so biased, I guess. 😛 ) feminists like myself abhor. They really are the other end from the equality-feminists into the women-are-better-and-magic realm. I suspected it last comic, this one pretty much confirms it. The kind of radfems who spell it womyn and hold special concerts that noone who’s ever even SEEN a penis is truly welcomed. 😉
Thats Sexual abuse, that Teacher would get fired…..
Off topic, is there a way to subscribe to comments on a strip, or to replies/messages aimed at you? Sometimes I post, someone replies, and I don’t notice for forever because I don’t think to check (I read the comic via RSS so only usually hit the site at updates. Love you for providing RSS, @novil!)
This calls for over the top ironic vengeance. I seem to recall the North family having some expertise in that area.
I don’t get why Cloud is so worried.. All he has to do is skirt around the outside of the building, pry the window to the boy’s room open, ninja his way inside while leaving a handy rope ladder available for the less nimble to follow, and all’s well in the world.
All else fails, start finding empty softdrink bottles to top up and leave on her desk with anonymous messages..
@ Helz’Bayne:
In these days of DNA tests, there is no such thing as anonymous pee.
..okay, absolutely everything else in this comic, I’ve been able to roll with, but how does this woman have the authority to close the boy’s room?! Last time I checked, schools can’t do that to ‘any’ room unless there’s something hazardous to the health of the students that can’t be dealt with immediately, like a gas leak, or structural damage. And even then, it wouldn’t take much for a court to demand the school provide a boy’s bathroom.
@ Tzivya:
while that is true, does she seem remotely capable of staring at those bottles and thinking of forensics, or simply turning pale shades of green and running off in horror? I for one, doubt she would even understand it as an act of protest.

Fun fact: The idea that boys wear blue and the girls wear pink is actually a pretty recent idea. Conceived in the early 1900 thanks to a magazine. Before that for hundreds or even thousands of years boys wear pink because it close enough to red while girls wear blue.
Tbh in old kingdoms like the Chinese Empire no one give a damn about colours and sexuality. Red is worn for bride and groom. Purple was worn by royalties both male and female because the dye was expensive. White was worn for mourning etc etc.
Tbh I hate the fact that rainbow closely linked with LGBT group. Colours are never about sexuality, they are light spectrums FFS! I love rainbow because it’s an awesome colour spectrum. SCIENCE!
I have this feeling everything will turn hilarious when the handsome teacher that got transferred recently (you know who) appeared.
I can’t help but get the feeling that Dorothy Cambridge here is supposed to be based on Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter.

@ Jo:
Depends on the anatomy of the person involved actually. Personally as a man I am incapable of peeing sitting down in most bathrooms. Please don’t press me for details, suffice it to say the uurine stream would get “pinched” off.
It seems she doesn’t know who she’s dealing with here. I do believe that tomorrow, the boys’ rooms aren’t going to have doors anymore.
@ Tzivya:
Urine doesn’t contain DNA, although if he left any hairs behind that still contained a folicle THEN a DNA test would nab him. 😉
@ Mr_Nabby:
There are seriously some feminists that think like this.
Let me guess, Dorothy Cambridge is mean to be a Professor Umbridge type character.
