These illustrations brilliantly summarize the double standards women face

Illustrator Daisy Bernard perfectly summed up the ridiculous and often contradictory expectations and standards that women face every day with her illustrations.

Illustrations Daisy Bernard inspired the burqa ban in France. "Women are told to take off their burqas and undress on the beach, but at the same time they are encouraged to cover up and not show too much skin. Men, on the other hand, can wear whatever they want," says Daisy. According to her, this is not the only case.'unreasonable' advice faced by women. Even when it comes to work, relationships and sex, women are met with completely contradictory 'advice'. "We are constantly exposed to conflicting expectations: how to look (wear makeup or not), how to behave at work (like a lady or like a boss) or how to behave in a relationship (be a 'whore' or be frigid). These ridiculous expectations as usual created by men and often other women as well,” Daisy added.
