Well said!
Guys, if you don't want to give the wrong impression when you're talking about stuff like this, it's a good idea to reread your posts to see if you're projecting your own experiences (and privilege) in situations where it doesn't apply -- or implying that the way men approach things is better than how women do.
- mfukar 16y agoThat's exactly what's being done by women too, in articles like the one posted, and it hasn't stopped anyone from sympathizing or the collective hypocritic outcry of the masses that are offended by public displays of parts of the human body.
- jdp23 16y agoTry reading the article again. She was explicitly writing from her own experiences, not projecting them on others. And her primary point was that Wired doesn't feature women on its cover.
- mfukar 16y agoNo, don't fall into that trap. She was projecting her experiences onto a cover which could be received in many different ways. The way she rejected it as sexist is the result of this underlying process.
