I just discovered Gyno-Star and it’s the best! I’m so excited to finally find a comic with a good, unabashedly feminist message that still manages to be funny. I love that you’re able to communicate some serious messages without being boring and preachy! This is great work, can’t wait to read more! 🙂
A crisp summary of cultural norms: Europeans tending to favor natural body hair, American women feeling forced to shave or Nair. “Italian off your ass” is at one time obscene and clear.
idk where this stereotype about Europeans favoring natural body hair comes from, but let me tell you as a woman from central Europe – I get shit for my unshaven legs on a daily basis.
Yes we have been indoctrinated is the minimal hair look. Except that more women favor hairsuit men, especially on their face. Not full blown beards, but 2-4 day growth. But I shall never grow it. I don’t like facial hair myself beyond eye brows.
Didn’t know that GynoStar was Italian! Laughed my tail off!
its an analogy. stating the stereotype that italian women are hairy
Wasn’t aware of that being a stereotype of Italian women… then again, I don’t know many.
Indian women, on the other hand…
Brilliant.

Thank you very much!
Very cool comic! This is pretty cool so far. I’m going to sit back down this evening and read a bunch of it at once.

With a name like Rebecca Cohen, I would have thought Gyno-Star was a fellow Jewess
Wait, Italians can’t be Jewish? o_O
GS is Italian? Excellent. =)

I know you meant hirsute, but I’m laughing my ass off at the idea of hairsuit-wearing men trying to seduce women.
Hey, haven’t you ever seen a guy looking for a little Wookie?
AS an old girlfriend used to say: There are two kinds of men in this world – Men with beards, and men that don’t matter.”
