Yeah sometimes the unwanted reminder of a history you’d hoped to not deal with again (especially resurrected in a nice “egalitarian” facade) just… hits you… I’m sending a hug to Riley.
Do Australian women normally get entire trash cans in each stall for their menstrual products, or is this a luxury Yonique offers its patrons?

SOMETIMES IT JUST HITS YA HUH
I can’t believe I called that much holy shit. Let your hair down and go sicko mode Riles!!!!! Do it!!!
(Though I guess sicko mode for Riley would be like “Welp! I think we should break up!)

Blaire’s getting suspicious. You should’ve stopped talking a sentence earlier, Riley. You might have been able to avoid the long prophesied Storm for the rest of the night… 😔

So much tension right now but I just have to admire the pretty color palette…look how nice it is!
Also: it’s interesting how revealing a snap decision can be. Looks like you’ve made up your mind where gender ideology belongs, Riles.

The second most horrifying thing on this page is Blaire being so ominous and the way she turns to watch Riley.
The first most horrifying thing is seeing foreign readers expressing awe and delight about the menstrual bins – I really didn’t know they were a special Australian/New Zealand thing! Do other women just have to carry them around in their bags to the main bin which is usually in the handwashing area? That’s terrible omg.

I had a nice big comment and then an accidental browser refresh ate it. Figures.
Run, Riley. Get away from this as fast as your legs can carry you. Blaire is creeping me the hell out in those panels.

I really freaking wonder what Riley’s tone of voice is as she says “Sometimes it just hits you, huh?” I wonder if it’s that tone of voice that made Blair realize something was off. (I doubt this is the first time poor anxcious Riley has randomly run off on her for all kinds of reasons.)
And I wonder if it’s gonna be RILEY who freaking snaps, rather then Blair being the one who’s like “where are my pamphlets, you rapscallion?” This whole time I had been expecting Blair to be the one who sets off the big confrontation, but this page makes me think Riley maybe has had e n o u g h….
Riley realizing that Blair has made her feel stupid about all of this… Questioning her own intelligence… Just the same way her mother’s religion made her feel stupid and question her own intelligence. How long has Riley puzzled over those pamphlets, wondering stuff like “If god loves me why does he make me feel so miserable” and “if this is supposed to be right why do I never ever stop feeling wrong”…. And now she’s asking all kinds of similar questions about something else.
How aggravated Riley must feel. She gave up EVERYTHING so that she wouldn’t be made to feel stupid and controlled ever again, and yet….. She slipped into this situation where she once again was afraid to speak her own mind or ask questions.
Poor Riley. I just find myself hoping that she doesn’t feel too foolish for letting this happen to her AGAIN. But it’s normal for her to have fallen into a similar situation. She was alone in this world without a support system, no one for her to ask for other opinions from. There’s definitely gotta be a LeaseBound AU where Riley was the one who got a job at Yonique instead lol. How much quicker would she have been able to build confidence if she had real support? And where would Jaden be if she were stuck working at the store Riley works at? I can’t imagine Jaden would have ended up happier there.
There is much to be said about the women who work at Yonique and have that support system compared to all the characters who don’t. I know I don’t even want to think about where someone like Violet would be without Yonique 🙂 I guess we could compare her to how things turned out for Meriam!! (Not to say that it would be the exact same thing by any means, just… you know. comparing)
I really like that comic’s message about the importance of having supportive women around us and what a difference it makes.
Anyway, given Riley’s real trauma, I would not be shocked if she just explodes. She’s been living under too much pressure with no release….
