Sanitary Panels does a web comic series on gender and technology including discrimination faced by women in STEM education and careers. Here are two comics on circles of complicity around sexual harassment and STEM careers for women.

Image description: One panel

Panel: Concentric circles.
Text in inner most circle: Sexual harassers and abusers.
First concentric circle contains text: Those who condone this behaviour - By defending it.
Second concentric circle contains text: Those who condone this behaviour - By making jokes about it.
Third concentric circle contains text: Those who condone this behaviour - By remaining silent about it.

First panel: A girl says - I want to be a scientist when I grow up. Boy says - That's silly. Girls can't be scientists.
Second panel: A man and a woman tell their children (a boy and a girl) - This month, we can only afford tuition for your brother.
Third panel: Boy says - Man, there are no hot chicks in my engineering college.
Fourth panel: Girl says - My job at the IT company is terrible. HR won't look into my sexual harassment complaint.
Fifth panel: Man says - So yeah ... I don't think women are cut out for STEM.
