Editorial Cartoons & the ‘Lazy Husband’ Myth

No, this newspaper editorial cartoon by John Deering of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette isn't sexist in and of itself. Yet research shows that women actually watch more television than men do. But I'd bet that of 100 editorial cartoons of a lazy person who does nothing but watch TV, 95 or more are of men, not women.
