The coats of arms Sternberg (left) and Simonowicz (right) belonged to the house's owners - the married couple of Stanisław Sternberg Stojałowski and Paulina née Simonowicz. Hence the oak and olive branches, in this case denoting the masculinity and femininity.
I love it that for about 4 seasons now a lot of designers have been kind of breaking gender codes and it makes me happy cause haute couture and high fashion are kind of the lifestyle precursors of every generation so maybe in 10 years it won't seem weird for a guy to wear a dress or makeup and girls won't be thought as neglected or tomboy if they don't wear makeup and a glitter dress when in a big event I love this idea

Currently unscientific experiment in sexism on the roads below the cut. [WARNING: Contains a four-letter synonym for male genetalia]
I, like a lot of ladies, get a lot of trouble when we're on the road. As a frequent driver of a Mum!mobile, I have been cut off, prevented from changing lanes, tailgated, overtaken while travelling the speed limit, and had my overtaker realise that this was their turn and swoop in front of me -sans indicator- so they could turn off.
In brief, I have seen my share of cars driven by giant dicks.
My hubby suggested that it might be because I'm Driving While Female. Even with short hair, I code feminine, and do so from behind.
I, in turn, suggested a hat might improve things.
So, with a ten-dollar fedora from a Chemists' shop (My American readers would know them as Pharmacies) and Hubby in the passenger side, I set out to see what it was like to be driving whilst also coding masculine.
For me, it was jaw-droppingly nice.
Usually, I attract dick moves from other drivers at the rate of three dicks per five minutes. Give or take two dicks.
Plus fedora, and a passenger taking up the "wife" seat for verisimilitude... I only got two technical dicks over the entire hours' drive to work.
I say "technically" because one had a stop light to potentially scope out that my car was being driven by a (gasp) girl, and immediately had to prove they had better testes by driving dangerously and cutting me off whilst changing lanes on the Flik theory [Named after a pesticide company with the motto "One Flik(tm) and they're gone!"]. Two others got half-points each. One, because they were an equal-opportunity dick, and the other because they gave me more room than usual.
Scoring such points is obviously subjective.
The point remains that I experienced significantly less dick moves with a hat on than I did without.
Hubby suggested that it may be the adult passenger skewing my results. And, to get a more objective perspective, he also suggested installing a dash cam.
But I'm already thinking about a larger sample size.
I do not want anyone to take physical notes while driving. Paying attention to the road is way more important. Leave the note-taking to a passenger or otherwise record your experiences passively.
Ladies, do your utmost to code neutral-to-male when you're driving and see how your driving experience changes. Gentlemen - do the opposite with the same goal.
I can definitely say that the view from the top of the food chain is damned panoramic.
In striking visual detail, The Codes of Gender explores Goffman's central claim that gender ideals are the result of ritualized cultural performance, uncovering a remarkable pattern of masculine and feminine displays and poses. It looks beyond advertising as a medium that simply sells products, and beyond analyses of gender that focus on biological difference or issues of objectification and beauty, to provide a clear-eyed view of the two-tiered terrain of identity and power relations.
One evening, I was strolling through the district Shivajinagar in Bangalore. A perfect area to enjoy colors, intense odors and extreme noises. The contrast between the big commercial streets and small side streets couldn't be stronger. In four hours, I talked to so many people and took numerous pictures that I completely lost the overview after a while. I listened to many stories and came up with the idea to take pictures of shop owners in front of their shops. The shopkeepers were only men who were obviously proud of their work. Some of them posed with a serious face and a straight body position, others acted spontaneously or just gave me the chance to capture their everyday business. I took pictures of them and they took pictures of me :-) Sometimes it was hard to understand each other and we finished the “conversation” with a hearty smile.
To see them working, using certain techniques and serving customers, allowed me a short insight in their lifes.
The time-lapse shows the hustle and bustle on the streets and the portraits represent a deeper insight into the details of this bustling India.
