Plime/1Feminist Magazine Rejects Ad Praising Women In Power : ATOM 0.3www.plime.complime@plime.com2008, www.plime.com.2008-10-12T18:14:00+01:0047016

2008-01-12T11:33:13+01:002008-01-12T11:33:13+01:00Ms. Magazine is a magazine allegedly all about female empowerment. However, they refused to run an ad touting the political power of women. Their reason was incredibly lame, perhaps the fact that they were women in political power in Israel was the problem.
[wasn't sure if this should go in politics or wtf]]]>

But, frankly, I don't have a high opinion of these types of magazines. I find them extremely condescending. I'd be incredibly offended by anyone trying to "empower" my sex, race, religion, any other group, etc. I don't need publications congradulating any little accomplishment I need.

The biggest respect I can pay to successful women is treating them like I would any other successful person. Clapping my hands and fawning them with praise for any little thing they do like I would to a child learning to walk is degrading. Of course a woman can be a CEO, and of course she can do the job well. Do you really need a "yay, look what we can do, mommy" magazine to prove it?

ahh, well... I digress.]]>176591
