Uninteresting feminist puff piece.

Yawn.

The only thing I've 'learned' is feminists usually 'marry' men as dull as they are. Anyway, I thought 'marriage' was a misogynist institution?

Ok this first this is not an article or opinion piece it's an advertizement and the target demographic is not men but women..

Lets just do a critical analysis of the visual picture accompanying the ad.

Notice the framing of the shot with the man standing higher on a sloped surface to give the illusion of a higher than average height. Next the wife notice that she is wearing concealing clothing yes it was probable cold but not that cold look at the kids. The shot was carefully staged and she is dressed in a way that conceals her body and face. Scarf side shot and eyeglasses. Not frumpy but not accentuating her appearance either.

Now back to the man notice the horizontal lines of the garage, bumper the contrasting shirt pant colors with open jacket frontal shot. Magnifies both Height and creates a visual nexus around the crotch.

Folks this is a sales pitch to women. The visual message implies that being a feminist is seen as sexy, men will find you more attractive you can score a handsome tall endowed man even if your not that great looking yourself.

This is just nonsensical because it's by The Huffington Post and even in their women's section.

The only people who will ever read this are people who are already feminists.

Over egged it. In his eagerness to please whoever it was who forced him to write this dearth of content, he ended up with twee mawkish drivel. I actually feel nauseous from reading it

I live in Germany. Quite a lot of friends of mine when I was a child had grandfathers who were sweet awesome and a pleasure to be around. Turns out more than one of those grandads was with the Einsatzgruppen.
