Iron(y) for females in today’s society

Success is still a long shot for women, as the Standard reported earlier this week. It’s of course great that newspapers (even if it’s just The Standard in this case – it’s free and gave us Kikimushroom for which we are eternally grateful) and internet forums are talking about how things need to change for women across the world, as many still face inequality and oppression and eh.. zzzzz.

The unfortunate matter is that there always seem to be things going against women. Have you clicked on the above link? Try to ignore the French phrase in the first sentence, as it is way too sophisticated for the average Hongkie (including us) and a paper/website like this. But when you scroll down, you’ll notice a ‘Potshot’ on the left hand side (screenshot here). Click on it and you’ll see a picture of people admiring a sculpture of of a giant hairdryer in an open-air exhibition titled “The Magnificent Innovations for Women,” which is taking place as we speak in Budapest, Hungary. But there’s more, for example a giant pantyhose. But best of all is of course THE IRON.

If the same people created an exhibit named “The Magnificent Achievements of Men,” it would probably show at least one giant domesticated woman. Speaking of giant women, this video will surely be appreciated by those fighting for recognition and emancipation since the 8 bit graphics days. And look what we just found on lamebook.com.. terrible!
