I find your picture of the week extremely offensive and sexist.
God did not create an inferior being when he made woman, but made her in his image. With this picture, you perpetrate the myth that a woman is a laughing matter. With this picture you offend a God who thought it worthy of his creative power to make a woman. You challenge his creationary dicision.
Would you be willing to approach Christ with it and show it to him to see if he'll laugh?

That cartoon was sexist? How so? I see it as a sarcastic description of the place women have in our allegedly "egalitarian" society -- I see it as a complaint against how things are, not a description of how things should be.

Exactly... It's an attempt to point out (in a humorous fashion) that the view of womens place in society has "evolved" very poorly over the ages.
Even in todays society this kind of view of women as inferior lives on, even though we (as a people) should have evolved beyond it a long time ago.
If anything the pictures makes a statement against sexism.

it is exactly as you say, but this example of how things are is demeaning with the message that the issue is for laughing, not for changing.

Humor?
The depiction is as funny as a heart attack.

Love the Picture of the Period yet to be determined.
It is a great and true depiction and if demeaning of men, justifiably so. It is an honest representation of how women have been seen and treated for thousands (the number 2000 comes to mind) of years.
Hopefully it will inspire many and the men that see it will be suitably chastened.
