Hello, internet world. Fancy seeing you here. Today I stumbled upon this little...well, I'm not quite sure what to call it. I guess I'll approach my reactions in list form.
1. Gendered color throughout.
2. Why aren't women allowed to talk about vaginas? In the men's room, why weren't they shown to be talking about penises? Many men (erm, immature boys, particularly when I was in high school) couldn't seem to get enough of the word. In fact, it became a game in school to see who could yell the word the loudest without getting in trouble.
3. I'm sure I'll harp about this all blog long, but feminism. is. not. just. for. women.
4. So the girl stick figure leaves the men's room because of 'inappropriate remarks regarding appearance and gender' but enters the women's room and generalizes about stereotypical topics women may talk about (materialistic, whiny, trivial things).
5. Lemme get this straight, men are the only gender able to comprehend humanity, politics, science, etc. and, to join in on the conversation, one must be like the mighty man. Only then will one 'feel human'. Wow.
Yeah--feminism "just for women" would probably be another subtle way of "keeping women in their place." "Look!!!!! You get to talk about women's liberation while we still get to run the world."
