Women shouldn't have rights? Be slaves? Be seen and not heard? Be dominated? Know their place?
Are we serious here, World? Especially America, the supposed land of equality and freedom. Shame on you. If you aren't familiar with the way Google's search process works, it takes what you have personally searched for into consideration for suggestions, yes. But, much like Twitter, it takes the most common or popular 'trending' searches as well. This is what the results of the most popular searches yields currently on the subject of women.
I was understandably frustrated at the sight of this. Especially because of the Anonymous effort to bring attention to the stereotyped rape culture we live in today by bringing national attention to the Steubenville rape case, which would have been quietly shoved under the rug, otherwise. (Thanks, guys.) The media results after the guilty verdict came down remind me again why we need feminism in this country: 'The tragedy of two young boys ruined football careers after the verdict was announced'. WHAT?!
Did we forget that a young girl was raped and video taped, pissed on in the street and then turned into an internet joke and the tragedy is that two rapists can't play football anymore? Gee, thanks for some perspective on the world, CNN.
As per my norm, I posted it on Facebook, where I do most of my ranting via memes and little snippet comments. Here are the results (again, people are darkened out to protect their privacy, because I care about them. I'm out there on purpose, but I won't make anyone else be. I'm also friends with a lot of Transformers.):
So, I suppose the only thing left to say is....
.... and I will not shut up, not ever, until people see the fallacy is our "traditional" thought processes and something is done about how we as a nation mourn for the rapists and not the victim.
