This article shows the results of a research called: ''Construcciones discursivas de lo femenino y lo masculino en las historietas'', conducted by the author as a requirement to be awarded her degree. The principal idea of this article is to analyze the representation of women showed in mass media using principal concepts of the feminist theory. These representations are usually constructed by men in a male centered society. The comic ''Clara de Noche'' (supplement No. by Página 12) shows some of the traditional arguments used by brothel's clients when they justified their acts. Some of them are sustained in ''common sense'' or in very strong ideas that defend a certain vision of the world. This article analyzes the catch and putting in speech by subject women doubly subordinate (class and gender) by mass media. We will examine how this vision presents inter an intra gender relationships, and what kind of identities and relationships make up and naturalized a male centered discourse.
