I still need feminism because all of my trophies from debate had MEN on top!So I have just been down into the basement after seeing this picture, and I found my old Speech and Drama trophies from high school. To my dismay, I found that the ones that did have figures on top were all male. Then I looked closer. There were no genitalia, there were no breasts, there wasn’t even any hair! Yes it had muscles, but since men and women both have the ability to train themselves to achieve visible strength, it still wasn’t a giveaway. It was a completely gender neutral figure standing top on of my trophies, yet here I was presuming it was male simply because it was bald and didn’t have breasts. Then I remember the hype surrounding the Oscars. I follow a fair amount of feminists myself (gotta keep updated) and there seemed to be a fair amount of disgruntlement surrounding the award figure because it was apparently male. Which is now apparently sexism. Which is now apparently oppression. Which is now apparently a legitimate need for feminism… Despite the Oscars award not having a single gender definitive characteristic in the figure!!For all we know, this may be a valid claim. Maybe there is an unusually large amount of trophies out there that have figures in suits and fedoras with slight bulges just below the belt that are silently oppressing the recipient of that award. I don’t know.My biggest concern is that matters as trivial as the shape of a figure on top of a trophy are being categorized as oppressive. It clearly isn’t sexism if the trophy is being award to the worthy winners, regardless of gender. So if it isn’t sexism and discrimination in the judging process, is this issue seriously solely about the shape of a trophy? Get right out of town.- fraudulentfeminist -- source link
