Explanation
This comic comments on the gendered language people use when talking about children's bodies. A character observes that when discussing boys, people use descriptors like "running, drives, and machines," while for women's bodies they use plant-related metaphors like "plant parts" -- blooming, budding, flowering, and similar botanical language. The other character agrees.
The first character then notes they do not know why women's bodies are seen as passive and men's as active, and declares: "We will teach our children to be different." The final panel reveals their supposed solution: a teacher at the front of a classroom describes "your trachea" as being "dressed like coconuts ripening in an island breeze," applying the same flowery botanical language to anatomy class rather than actually removing the gendered framing.
The joke works through a bait-and-switch. The setup appears to be a sincere feminist critique of how gendered metaphors shape children's understanding of their bodies. The punchline reveals that rather than eliminating the botanical metaphors for girls, the characters have simply extended absurdly florid plant language to everyone and everything, including basic anatomy instruction. The humor lies in the gap between the characters' well-intentioned goal of equality and their hilariously misguided method of achieving it -- making all description equally ridiculous rather than equally neutral.
