Yasak Meyve bir grafik romandan biraz daha farklı değerlendirilmesi gereken kitaplardan. Geçmişten günümüze ataerkilliğin egemenliğinden dolayı doğal yapısı gizlenip değiştirilen adet, cinsellik, vajina ve vulva konularında insanlığı yeniden eğitmek için ideal kitaplardan. Kadın bedenine dair asırlardır kulaktan kulağa yayılan ya da daha kötüsü bazı adamların çıkıp bizim bedenimizi bize anlatmaya kalkmalarının sonucu oluşan yanlış yönlendirme ve fikirleri “hayır o işin aslı öyle değil” deyip tek tek düzeltiyor. Gelecek nesilleri, kadınlığı erkeklerin anlatması aptallığının etkilerinden kurtarmak için, ders kitabı gibi gençlere okutulmalı bence.
Grafik roman kısmından bakarsak açıkcası çizimleri çok başarılı değil, en azından benim tercih ettiğim ve sevdiğim bir stil değil. Ama toplum bakış açısının erkekler tarafından nasıl çarpıtıldığını, kadınları kendilerine yabancılaştırdıklarını ve mansplainingin bilim tarihinin hangi aşamalarına kadar uzandığını görmek isterseniz Yasak Meyve çok iyi bir seçim olur. En cazip yönlerinden birisi de konuyu temel hatlarıyla anlatıp başlıklar şeklinde düzeltme yapıyor. O yüzden okurken sıkılmanız gibi bir ihtimal yok. Ancak bu grafik romanı okuduktan sonra bu konuda, ileri okumalara geçmek isterseniz de ilham verici ve yol gösterici bir kaynakçası var. Her yönden çok iyi bir kaynak. Tavsiyedir.

I lent my copy of “The Four Agreements” to a girlfriend, and in exchange, she gave me this book, and here we are.
I liked the graphic novel-ness of it, and I learned some things I definitely didn’t know, but I didn’t like how nearly every page was filled with exclamation points. It feels like you’re constantly being yelled at as the author delivers her points. It’s obvious how frustrated Stromquist is with the system/patriarchy, but generally speaking, I could do without all of the proverbial hollering.
I mean.. the ultimate take away is that women and the worth of their bodies have always been dictated by men, many of whom we know (Freud, Sartre, various other famous/historical men). There are some surprises in the book though, and there are some good talking points. Like why do tampon commercials advertise their products as something that has to be discreet (“it fits in the palm of your hand so no one sees!”)? Or why do they say that you have to feel fresh and clean? Answer: because your body and what it does is something to be ashamed or embarrassed of, because male scientists, theologians, philosophers, etc. decided it was so. They came to that decision with little to no evidence, but rather by making their own hypotheses and basing them off of god’s will, or off of another equal-status man’s opinion.
I also liked the flipped thinking she does when she talks about how women must be dirty, sinful people to want to enjoy sex, and then changes the wording around to imagine what it would be like if authors/historians/scientists said the same about men. Basically, we existed (largely in the historical context) to please men or to procreate, and if we thought otherwise about sex or our bodies, we were considered witchy, unworthy, unholy, and gross. A quick, informative read, albeit ripe with enthusiastic !!!s.

Strömquist has collected lots of (hi)stories and myths about women, patriarchy, menstruation… and put them together in several comics. I love her drawing style and her humour, and gaped in awe (or disbelief… or anger…) of some of the facts she presents here.
The downside for me was, that these stories often seemed randomly threwn together and I was missing an arc, in some of the chapters more than in others. All in all, an entertaining AND educating read though!

J'ai ouvert cette BD, j'ai lu quelques pages au hasard et j'ai tellement ri que ça m'a décidée à l'acheter. Et vu les sujets abordés, chapeau de réussir à me faire rigoler : l'exploration de la misogynie médicale a de quoi faire pleurer et rager, mais l'approche de cet album est souvent hilarante sans pour autant minimiser les problèmes dont il est question. Un vrai tour de force. J'ai appris beaucoup de choses et maintenant j'ai envie de le distribuer à la cantonade.
Erinomaisen opettavainen sarjakuva. Strömquistin reipas tyyli sopii aiheeseen hienosti, ei näin tyhmistä jutuista voi kirjoittaa kuin hämmästelyn, ärtymyksen ja raivon sekoituksella. Kaikista hulluintahan tässä kaikessa on se, että ihan joka asia ei ole edes tänä päivänä paremmin.
Onhan tämä näitä kirjoja, jotka vähän kaikkien pitäisi lukea. Asia on tärkeää, vapauttavaa ja riemastuttavalla huumorilla kuorrutettua. Naurattaa ja ärsyttää yhtä aikaa. Onneksi nämäkin asiat kehittyvät parempaan suuntaan, vaan eivät kyllä ilman työtä ja vaivannäköä, ja kaikenlaiset taantumuksen voimat pyrkivät kehitystä jarruttamaan. Tämän sarjakuvan luetuttaminen mahdollisimman monella olisi jo hyvä askel eteenpäin!
