# Judge Magazine, March 5, 1927 - Cartoon Analysis The main cartoon illustrates the caption: "The woman-hater tried to assert his pet principle of equal privilege in the subway—he got off with a near-lynching and 99 years in Leavenworth!" The scene depicts a confrontation in a crowded subway car where a man (the "woman-hater") appears to have physically assaulted women by kicking or pushing them to claim equal treatment in seating. The other passengers—both men and women—are shown violently attacking him in response, while a police officer observes. The satire mocks men's rights arguments of the era: the joke suggests that literally enforcing "equal privilege" through violence against women would result in swift, severe public retaliation. The absurdly lengthy prison sentence (99 years) exaggerates the severity of consequences for such behavior, satirizing both chivalric norms and the social consensus protecting women from male aggression.

WAY CROWD A German scientist now in this country says that gasoline, kero- sene, lubricating oil, paraffin wax, phenol, pitch and sulphate of ammonia can be extracted from American coal. Apparently, the only thing that can’t be extracted is heat. According to a radio trade journal, the latest type of loud speakers are made of concrete. Any one who is at all skeptical should spend a day at Congress. Under the wage rule of the English Actors’ Association, Lon- don thespians will receive $25 for appearing to be dead.
