- Retric 5y agoI think feminists are perfectly ok with burning a man in effigy. But that’s ok, we can get some masculismists behind this quest for equality! But what about children and the elderly... Hell why limit it to humans, dolphins in there wet little world are getting off light here. Lets burn them, let’s burn them ALL! HA HA HA!!! Which hopefully answers that one.
- bredren 5y agoThere big change recently is that the Man design is no longer only designed by one white man in collaboration with the now deceased founder. Presuming an “official” BM goes forward again, I would not be surprised if the man design changed to to include female features
- throwaway1777 5y agoThis has been discussed ad infinitum in the burning man community. Burning man is totally inclusive of all genders.
- xwdv 5y agoIf that’s true why not change the name then to Burning Person or something gender neutral, maybe just Burning?
- Zababa 5y ago"man" can be used in a gender-neutral way.
- rcoumet 5y agoNot in the LGBT... community
- chokeartist 5y agoBecause it doesn't matter. Troons will ruin everything if you listen to their endless babble.

- rendall 5y ago... Imagine, if you will, a parallel universe in which there had been no Burning Man. One day, you read an article about people who gather in the middle of the desert and burn a woman in effigy and call their event Burning Woman. The article neutrally describes the event: gift economy, participatory culture, light art, costumes, shirt-cockers, maybe drugs. It's Burning Man, but in this universe, the exact same event just happens to be called Burning Woman. Would there be accusations of misogyny, credible enough to shut down the event, or no?
- ajuc 5y agoThere is a somewhat similar tradition in Poland (without the gitf economy art and drugs). People burn an effigy of winter god called Marzanna on the first day of astronomical Spring (and/or throw it into a nearby river). It's common in most Slavic countries I think, but in some of them it vanished because catholic church was fighting it at one point. There are accusations of misogyny because that's the world we live in, but mostly nobody cares cause it's fun for kids. Ironically this pagan tradition comes from a religion that was much more woman-friendly than catholicism that replaced it.

- gremloni 5y agoThere was in Salem a few centuries ago. Good times.
- Turing_Machine 5y agoNo (alleged) witches were burned at Salem. They were all hanged, except one who was pressed to death.
