Family Circus: Now, can we make him a snow LADY so he won't be lonely?

I think today's cartoon really puts Dolly's ceaseless drive for power in perspective. What we're seeing here is a young girl staring into the face of a deeply ingrained patriarchal hegemony, as symbolized here by her father, three brothers and male dog. They built the snowman without even giving consideration to building a snowlady, because of course all snowmen are male. It's not their fault, really. It's simply all they've ever known. Dolly's trying to change the world here. And who can really blame her?
