What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical pieces mocking contemporary social issues, primarily **women's suffrage and evolving gender roles**: The main cartoon "Sauce for the Gander" satirizes the suffrage movement. It depicts a clergyman who agrees to insert "obey" into a wedding vow—traditionally required only of brides. When he asks the groom to promise obedience too, the bridegroom hesitates, revealing the hypocrisy: men demanding women's submission while refusing reciprocal obligation. The joke highlights the absurdity of unequal marriage vows. A companion piece mocks a suffragette claiming women have "suffered in a thousand ways," with a heckler retorting they've "never suffered in silence"—a crude jab at female activists' vocal advocacy. The third joke criticizes suffragettes' demand for "plain speaking," with a male voice sarcastically suggesting women speakers aren't plain-spoken *enough*. These pieces reflect **Judge's anti-suffrage stance**, portraying women's rights advocates as shrill and hypocritical rather than engaging their substantive arguments.
