There’s a dismissive characterization of democracy that calls it “three wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.” I first heard it in Spoonerian anarchist circles; but these days, Republicans in the USA have their underwear in such a wad about democratic socialism that you’ll often hear the same phrase uttered by Republicans. It’s unclear just what Cthuloid horror they hope to invite into the power vacuum left behind when they’ve chucked democracy out with their dirty bathwater, but nevertheless, here we are.
Of course nobody argues for pure democracy anyway, unfettered by human rights or constitutional checks and balances. That would be madness. This cartoon from the February 1959 issue of For Men Only magazine recasts the “three wolves and a sheep” along gender lines, and illustrates the folly of unchecked pure democracy to boot. These three wolves cast up on the proverbial desert island want to vote themselves a wife:

Once you’ve made a deal with the devil that results in letting him take your hair, every day is a bad hair day for the rest of eternity. That’s the reality that’s just now dawning on this beauty:
Actually I don’t have the foggiest idea what the backstory actually is for this illustration (see much larger version); I don’t read enough (any) German to puzzle out the page in Jugend #28 (1896) where I found it.

This scene of a bunch of topless wives fighting at a well is from an artwork out of Thailand, currently held in the non-displaying collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
It’s said to illustrate a scene from the Vessantara Jātaka (aka “The Great Birth Sermon”) about a generous and compassionate prince. The scene is establishing character motivation for Jujaka, one of the people who scheme to take advantage of Vessantara’s generosity:
Jujaka, a greedy old brahmin who lived as a beggar, had a very young wife, Amittada, who was also very beautiful and hard-working. During the drought Amittada used to regularly bring water from the well for her old husband. The husbands of the other women in the village held her up as an example of a good industrious wife. One day, in a fit of jealousy, all the village women gathered by the well and beat up the Brahmin’s young wife, tearing her clothes.
From that day onward the girl stubbornly refused to go to the well any longer.

The world yet lacks a decent teledildonics technology, and we need one. Lovers separated by distance sorely need better technological options for remote mutual stimulation and feedback. But the key word there is “distance.” If you’re in the same bed, you don’t need the teledildonics, so take off the damn VR headsets!

There’s always something a little bit … sideways … about the religious practice in artwork by Georges Pichard, and the humiliating penance performance in this artwork is no exception:
