Thanks for the clarification JD. I’m not sure that other pieces showing a man’s ineptitude in the refrigerator (around the house) is really what I was getting at in terms of presenting an anti-sexist message. It is, however, a good example of how sexist stereotypes are often damaging to both men and women.
It is weird to me that the sexism in some of this art is not obvious to all. From messages of a woman’s career is in the home to a woman in the military being terrified of a mouse to the symbolic “humor� of a woman being pinched in the ass, a common form of sexual harassment, there is an avalanche of offensive symbolism here.
