Photoshop By Adobe

I read an article a week ago about how this woman was up in arms about the Adobe Photoshop commercial. To summerise, she wasn't happy with how they were encouraging people to use photoshop to make themselves look more fetching. Unfortunately, she failed to post the link to the video. Taking it upon my self, I went on a search for it to see what this hen was squawking about.

Turns out, she simply doesn't understand satire. 

Here's the video: 

People really need to pick their battles more wisely. It's clear to me Adobe is poking fun at cosmetic ads. In the end, this woman looked like a fool. In order not to make her feel like a complete boob, I've refrained from posting a link to her blog. Have no fear, though. I did post her a comment, which she never approved. 

As I researched this photoshop travesty, I came across another website that made me laugh.

Thirty Horrific Commercial Photoshop Disasters. 

In case any of you need a chuckle on this overcast and sprinkling Wednesday. 

Pro-Feminist

Why is it people think in order to be a feminist you have to be angry, listen to indie-girl-rock, have dreads, be unwashed and hate men?

That's all poppycock. Not to mention, a stereotype. And not a very good one. I bathe all the time and very rarely get angry.


I'm proof you can be a feminist and still love cock.


To spell it out, feminism is:

• the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men 

• an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women. 

Yes, it is that simple.

Women who support feminism are feminists. It has nothing to do with how long their leg hair is or whether or not they spell women with a 'y'. People who rant on about the spelling of 'women' are fighting the wrong battle. There are so many bigger issues to be tackled. Let's not waste manpower over such silly, inconsequential things as the spelling of a word.

Did you know men can support feminism?

In fact, many do.

These decent human beings of the male gender are referred to as 'pro-feminists'. There is a very wonderful blog called A Radical Profeminist and, if you're interested in reading a guy's take on the whole kit and caboodle, I suggest visiting him.  His blog exists to "challenge white heterosexual male supremacy as an institutionalized ideology and a systematized set of practices which are misogynistic, heterosexist, racist, genocidal, and ecocidal." 


I like people who aren't sexist, racist, homophobes. 


Is that stating the obvious?
