   Apparently, the men who aren’t down with feminism find it harder to ignore discussions about sexism than to ignore sexism. (Or, I think they find the one more irritating to live with.)

   That’s some excellent composition. The light and shadow, and especially the way the eyes in the background mural are positioned right over the edge of the poster.

   Also, totally checking out the jewelry, I’m in the market for pendants. Thanks for the link, Sarah!

    I’m assuming the post is about this, right?

    Or is there more I’m missing?

    I love the way that, when only the top part of the photograph is visible, the left hand of the woman holding the poster appears to belong to the woman in the mural.

    Related to the current situation: (via Lisa Millbank) the NYC Anarchist Bookfair has recently had similar problems with misogynistic objections to procedures intended to ensure safe space.
