HuffPo: Bathroom Signs Are Sexist Since Women Aren’t Wearing Pants In Them

Posted By Eric Owens On 11:41 AM 07/04/2015 In | No Comments


The Huffington Post is exhilarated about a Seattle-based feminist’s “truly glorious” dream to produce and sell a Badass Feminist Coloring Book.

The would-be author of the Badass Feminist Coloring Book is Ijeoma Oluo, who bills herself as “a feminist writer and speaker” in her Kickstarter funding appeal.

The Badass Feminist Coloring Book, if it becomes a reality, will contain stark, black, white and gray images of feminists along with quotes by those people.

For example, the quote under Hari Kondabolu is: “We live in a world that is so sexist that women still can’t wear pants on public restroom signs”

 
Kondabolu is a graduate of Bowdoin College who is eking out a living as a comedian. (Annual tuition, fees and room and board at Bowdoin is $61,354.)

Another feminist featured in the prototype of the coloring book is Jenny Yang. She looks very angry in Oluo’s rendering of her. Yang’s quote is: “Find your fury.”

A third feminist featured in the prospective book is Michi Trota, a self-described community organizer who writes about geek culture.

Trota’s quote in the Badass Feminist Coloring Book is: “Your argument is invalid. Deal with it.” Oluo shows Trota crouched in some kind of ninja battle stance, wielding two blazing torches as weapons.
 
 

The “incredible” Kickstarter project is a “radical book” which “combines the meditative lull of coloring with the revolutionary spirit of feminism,” HufPo arts and culture editor Priscilla Frank gushes.

According to Oluo, the 20 different feminists (“at least”) in her coloring book “have awesome things to say.”

“These people are writers, comedians, mothers, daughters, sex workers. There are feminists of different ages, races, body types, gender identities,” Oluo explains, and “this is the intersectional feminist coloring book you’ve been waiting for.”

Oluo’s Kickstarter drive has been very successful. Her goal has been to raise $4,000. However, she already has $13,912 pledged from 393 backers as of Saturday.

“Nothing is more calming and strengthening to me than focusing on the amazing feminists fighting to make the world a better place,” Oluo earnestly told The Huffington Post.

“I wanted to shine a light on feminists that you may never have heard of — who don’t always fit the middle-class liberal cis heterosexual white woman image we usually see,” the coloring book author added. “I want people to see the beauty in feminism, not a conventional beauty that often hurts women, but a beauty that comes from strength, resilience, kindness and empathy. Also, I really just want to give this to my feminist friends, as a celebration of community and solidarity.”

On her Facebook page, Oluo’s likes include the Queer Students of Color Conference, Feministing.com, Plus Model Magazine, Blacks Going Vegan and, of course, Al Franken.

Of course! Assuming we even continue to have separate rest rooms for males and females, the only thing to do is to put photos of naked people on them so we really can determine which is which. Darn silly sexist skirt pictograms!

We just got back from a two week trip overseas, and it's a darned good thing they put those little skirts on the women's bathrooms.

Even though I hardly ever wear a skirt, I appreciate very much NOT walking into a men's bathroom in a country where most people don't speak English and there's no way to explain your mistake.

Mountaineer's got it, though.  The goal is to make all bathrooms unisex, end results be damned.

We couldn't be headed downhill faster than we are right now.

Funny.  I was walking through Atlanta airport a couple of weeks ago, and took notice that the women's restroom showed the signs in pink, while the men's were in blue.  I wondered how long that would last. With the left, it's all about symbolism.  Substance isn't really much of an issue for them.  They believe they can destroy our white European culture by getting rid of symbols.  Maybe they're right.

It all begins to make perverse sense when you understand that this Progressive war is not merely against sexual identity, but about denying the very existence of objective, discoverable reality.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

It appears the progressives are pushing us towards unisex bathrooms...

I should think women would not want men peeing around their toilet bowls. Poor aimers that we are.

Heck, I like separate and distinct bathrooms.

You know, there are some things biological that should be left alone.

Why, thank you, aligncare!  It's nice to BE back!

One of the countries we were in was Russia, and there some of the restrooms have separate stalls in separate rooms but general sinks.  Truthfully, I didn't even like that much.

But what I was thinking about was that in some countries (Russia included) the alphabet is different, so that you can't necessarily decipher the words men/women on the sign (unlike, say, "Damen" und "Herren" which most of us can figure out  ^-^). 

People depend on those little skirts to make sure they're going into the right place.  It's just being nasty to take them away.

The farther we go down this road, the more I think that liberals are just stupid people.

That is so true, andy.  Just think about the things they're forcing us to debate now....... not just regarding gender, but also color.

It's the logical extension of the left's campaign to find "their own truth."

The result when everything is subjective is that nothing is real.

The way things are going, it would be a mistake to assume this.

Prediction:
Twenty years from now, there will be at least -some- places (most likely liberal universities), where only a "universal" lavatory is available for all...
I realize there have been "unisex" bathrooms at coed dorms for some time now. What I'm speaking of above are "general purpose" rest rooms for all visitors.

We may see this widespread in certain states -- i.e., Oregon, Washington, Vermont, etc.

Yes, your point is exactly on target. Women without penises, according to Liberals, is in fact racist and sexist. Why shouldn't women have penises? It is a violation of their God given Constitutional rights!

Why shouldn't we all have penises. Penises all around for everyone.

I am telling you all, that I may be a pervert or a weirdo, but the idea of a girl or a woman taking a leak or a dump next to me is strangely sexual. I do not know why.

But yes, I agree with the group. I do not want to be unzipping in front of ladies, with or without penises.

 
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Many of my patients and the people I work with are from the former Soviet Union. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to come to know people who have escaped communism and learn from them why they love America.

All my life I have loved being a female. I am not a leftist feminist nor do I envy the male their penises. I also celebrate all the men being men and not wimps. I also like the fact men have a penis since I have had a lot of pleasure over the years because of that fact. I think God was awful nice and I thank him for creating male and female humans to fit one another so nicely and attach pleasure to the act of procreating. He could have made us like the animals who are in heat maybe twice a year and then go their way with only a handful of animals that mate for life. I am tired of people celebrating perversion we should all be celebrating how exciting it is to be very normal male and females who love the sex they are.

What a "blessing" for pedophiles!  Hanging out in a bathroom where little girls and boys go can't be considered as stalking, then, and pedophiles will be free to take their pick of victims. 888sunglass

While my children were of an age that could still be considered "little boys" they never went to a public restroom alone.

We need to be better parents than that.
