Feminism, like any socio-politicalmovement has changed over time. And unfortunately, not for the better. Modern feminists began to forget that their ideology initially wore a much more liberal character. Now the accusations of misogyny and sexism are often unreasonable. For example, some feminists believe that their feelings can offend ... a shirt. And the sexist is the guy who dared to put it on. Well, this is all a bit strange. But let's understand everything in order.
Sexism is a bias towardsrepresentatives of a particular gender, often accompanied by gender discrimination. Accordingly, a sexist is a person who practices such discrimination or shares the view that members of the same sex are superior to those of the other.
Sexism is most often expressed in relation to girls or women. Historically, it was manifested in the deprivation in some cultures of women of any civil rights, the appearance of gender stereotypes.
This is all clear. But what kind of scientist was discussed at the very beginning of this article?
One American scientist was interestedthe origin of life on earth. He worked long and hard together with his team, and in the end he managed to land a research and development module on the surface of the comet. This scientist spoke about his success at a press conference, but no one listened to him. Everyone was looking at his shirt.
We are now talking about the head of the research mission "Rosetta". His name is Matt Taylor.
Why is this a memorable conferenceclose attention was paid to the shirt? What is special about her? It was the usual colorful Hawaiian shirt with a bright pattern. And this picture, to admit, was really bright - sexy girls in underwear and latex costumes.
And then, at this very press conference,A correspondent from The Atlantic magazine Rose Evelet, not listening to Matt's revelation about his scientific breakthrough, asked: "What is it wearing on him?" And then the feminists from the world of science, journalists and housewives sitting in front of their televisions, made the unequivocal conclusion: Matt Taylor is a sexist scientist.
And it ended with the followingpress conferences accused of sexism Matt Taylor apologized to feminists from the scientific community and in general all women. “I am very, very sorry. I have offended many people and now I apologize for this, ”said the scientist. However, he was very sincere and barely restrained tears.
The feminists finally calmed down, and all those similar Hawaiian shirts were bought up by those who were on the side of Matt Taylor in this moral dispute.
In fact, probably no one.The shirt of the scientist can even be regarded as his small personal contribution to domestic sexism. Nevertheless, it really captured vivid confirmation of the fact that beautiful and sexy women like men, that it is with such young ladies that some of them try to surround themselves in life. But after all, to put sexuality above all other advantages of a woman is still not entirely correct.
On the other hand, a sexist is not any man who likes a beautiful female body. Normally, it should attract all healthy men, it is natural.
Someone will say that such a responsibleThe event, as a press conference, could also be worn. This remark is also true, but let's not forget that Matt Taylor is a talented person, and eccentricity is characteristic of talented people. In addition, he has many high-quality color tattoos, it already says a lot about the style and worldview of the scientist. And in the end, Matt Taylor really achieved a lot. Did he have the right to look the way he wanted?
Человек работал десять лет, чтобы посадить на comet research module. He did it, and it really opens up new horizons for scientists. So why at that moment, when you can rejoice at important scientific discoveries, many followers of feminism shout that the shirt of a scientist offends their feelings? Maybe it’s too early to call such women mature, accomplished personalities?
In this situation, it is hardly correct to say that the sexist is Matt Taylor. Or maybe feminists attacked him only because he was a man?
