rejectedprincesses:rejectedprincesses:“Women’s Work” by Chris Crisman Photographer Chris Crisman went around photographing women who worked in lines of work that are considered by many as unusual, to represent and normalize women in those spaces. Determined to show his children that they could be anything they wanted, he sums up the photo series’ message in one sentence: “Gender should not determine professional opportunities.”[more info here][Crisman’s website here]So I posted this yesterday on the RP Facebook page, and something amazing happened: women started showing up by the hundreds and posting pictures of themselves doing stereotypically “non-female” jobs. It’s pretty amazing.The photographer himself waded into the thread and started taking feedback and suggestions (he knows there need to be more PoC and he’s working on it). We even had a number of armchair OSHA inspectors helpfully pointing out that these carefully-staged pictures from an obvious photoshoot didn’t meet food handling standards! Good looking out, random internet guy!Anyway, check out the thread here, it’s pretty cool: https://www.facebook.com/rejectedprincesses/posts/1497308330283560 -- source link
