My point, which you have consistently missed, is that it's not particularly relevant where you assume she "is". She is nowhere. It is a political cartoon. The cartoon is using two extremes as symbols of different incarnations of sexism - one wherein women are primarily valued their superficial appearance and sex appeal, and another wherein they viewed as chattels. The equivalence created by the cartoon is obvious, in the sense that they're saying the same things about each other. But these two problems are not equivalent. Not even close.

I can't believe we're actually arguing about this, but hey, internet.
