Feminism in perspective....

> think about it

*explanation to be posted tomorrow

>> > Times up ! Those of you who have come to the conclusion that its just another one of those weird animation type things that so often do the rounds are in fact WRONG ! Inspect closely and what do u see... A women trying to get on.... but in trying to, she ends up falling, and being crushed (no mater how many times you replay the scenario) by these giant balls which are scattered everywhere...

...A metaphor for a testosterone dominated world if ever there was one !

Louisa: but do we have to be blond and wear a bikini?

Sheraz: I cant claim to have been responsible for the animation - just the subsequent spin on it BUT I suppose her being blonde and fit and bikini wearing does fit in... I mean it makes it even worse in a way... i.e. Its the beautiful people, and not just those who you would expect to be let down by the system who end up being victims to... *good blag !!

Louisa: but despite the obstacles she quite often slips through, you could say this was a very pro feminist comment, that’s despite the big static balls, the agile flexible (disturbingly so) woman prevails and goes further than the balls.. or men. Hence showing despite our years of oppression we are just better than you. Of course i don't agree with that statement. but there you go.

Sheraz: " but despite the obstacles she quite often slips through " yes she does - but the obstacles are always there which is in itself a bad thing, " you could say this was a very pro feminist comment, that’s despite the numerous obstacles, the agile flexible (disturbingly so) woman prevails and goes further than the balls.. or men. " well you say that - but at the end, after trying to fight the system so to speak, she just ends up in a painful mess (quite literally) - and whilst she is collapsed and unable to continue the world around her remains unchanged - that’s hardly a sign of going further is it = P " Of course i don't agree with that statement. but there you go. " well it amused me anyway !
