Suggestion: Disposable Woman

Go To

Another BUPKIS.

This one focuses solely on the woman being disposable, and I feel like an image to showcase the ensuing angst would just be another trope entirely. At the very least, she lampshades her role:

It’s not perfect, but it’s probably one of the best image examples we can get for this trope. [tup]

Honestly, I'm not a particular fan of images that suggest that Tropes Are Bad.

Also, there's a watermark in the corner.

[up]The trope itself is highly controversial due to its nature as a Double Standard. Even the description, despite being as neutral as possible, is rather negative in tone.

It's gonna be difficult to find an example that doesn't lampshade or parodies it. Any serious example will likely overlap with The Lost Lenore or Stuffed into the Fridge.

That's enough consensus. The new pic's in and tagged, and I'll take it off the BUPKIS list. Caption?

[up][up][up] That's a can of worms in itself it's probably best not to delve on. I just don't think we should be lecturing readers.

That said, what about the watermark?

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
