Feminism, as well as any socio-political movement, change over time.And unfortunately, not for the better.Modern feminists have forgotten that their ideology originally wore a much more liberal.Now accusations of misogyny and sexism are often brought groundless.For example, some feminists believe that their feelings might offend ... shirt.A sexist - it's the guy who dared to wear it.Well, it's all a bit strange.But let's look at the first.
true meaning of the word "sexist»
sexism - a prejudice against a particular sex, often accompanied by gender-based discrimination.Accordingly, sexist - is a person who practices such discrimination or shares the view that members of the same sex have the advantage over other members.
Sexism often expressed in relation to girls and women.Historically, it was manifested in the deprivation of women in some cultures all civil rights, the emergence of gender stereotypes.
With this all clear.But what kind of a scientist in question at the beginning of this article?
On Learned detail
One American scientist interested in the origins of life on Earth.He worked long and hard with his team, and in the end he managed to land a research unit on the surface of a comet.This scientist was talking about his success at the press conference, but nobody listened.All eyes were on his shirt.
issue now is head of the research mission "Rosetta."His name - Matt Taylor.
What is sexist shirt
Why memorable conference at such close attention was paid to the shirt?What is special about it?It was the usual colorful Hawaiian shirt with a bright pattern.A drawing of this, I confess, was really bright - sexy girls in lingerie and latex costumes.
And then, on this same press conference, the correspondent of the magazine The Atlantic Rose Eveleth, not listening to the testimony of Matt perfect their scientific breakthrough, asked: "What's that wearing it?".Then the feminists out of the world of science, journalist and housewives sitting in front of their televisions, it was a clear conclusion: Matt Taylor - scientist sexist.
What this whole scandal is over?
and ended all that at the next press conference, accused of sexism Matt Taylor apologized to the feminists of the scientific community and all women in general."I am very, very sorry.I offended many people, and now I ask forgiveness for it, "- said the scientist.He was very sincere and barely restrained tears.
Feminists eventually calmed down, and all related Hawaiian shirts sold out those who are in the moral debate has been on the side of Matt Taylor.
And who is right?
In fact, probably no one.Shirt, even a scientist can be regarded as its small contribution to the household sexism.Yet her was really embodied a striking confirmation of the fact that the beautiful and sexy women like men that just such young ladies some of them and try to surround yourself with in life.But to put sexuality above all other virtues of women is still not quite right.
But on the other hand, sexist - it's not every man who likes a beautiful woman's body.Normally, it must involve all healthy males, it is natural.
Some would say that such an important event like a press conference, it would be possible to put on a costume parade.This observation is also true, but let's not forget that Matt Taylor - a man gifted and talented people is peculiar eccentricity.In addition, he has a lot of high-quality colored tattoos, that's says a lot about the style and outlook of the scientist.And in the end, Matt Taylor really achieved a lot.Did he have the right to look at this as he wants?
man worked for ten years to plant a comet research module.He did it, and it really opens up new horizons for researchers.So why, in a time when you can enjoy an important scientific discoveries, many followers of feminism shout that the scientist shirt offends their feelings?Maybe these women is still too early to call mature valid identity?
In this situation, it is hardly correct to say that sexist - is Matt Taylor.Maybe feminists attacked him because he is a man?
