Rosie’s Legacy

This cartoon symbolizes girl power and resilience. A young woman, in a pose reminiscent of Rosie the Riveter, flexes her bicep while holding a sword akin to Excalibur. Behind her lies a defeated and tired dragon, representing toxic masculinity, macho fascist incel nonsense, and regressive ideologies that have seeped from corners of the internet like 4chan into the mainstream discourse. The cartoon critiques the efforts of those who wish to turn the wheel back to the 1950s—or even earlier—but asserts they will not succeed. It is a bold, empowering image intended to inspire and offer hope, showcasing the ultimate triumph of progress and equality over discrimination and hatred.
