In this drawing, a boy is having breasts sewn over his eyes. He’s happy about it. He is being made more feminine. Usually, that means taking something away (castration). But this is an addition, not a subtraction. I think femininity, including traditional parts like motherhood, is a positive thing. Men and women are both better off if they can be feminine. Instead of other thing, but in addition to them.
