Write 1000
OBJECTIVE:
I have collected tweets pertaining to the discussion of a woman’s role. The majority are written by men. The discuss women in sports, the army and her place in a household. They are generally against women in these generally male roles or that a woman to be in the kitchen. They also list their opinions on the appearance of women. These tweets will collected into a list that looks like the website.
SUBJECTIVE:
These are a group sexist tweets ranging from blatant disregard of a woman’s rights to hiding it behind certain words. They are opinionated and leave little room for argument. There are possessive words used to describe women as if they are their property and how they prefer them to look when it is the woman who gets to decide not them. The idea of gender roles is put into play where women can’t announce sports or shouldn’t be fighting on the front lines and that they should only take care of the house and the kitchen. The majority of the tweets start with “I’m not sexist but…” which is stupid because obviously you’re going to say something say something sexist. Just because you say “no offense..” doesn’t make what you say any less offensive. Not to mention they usually have #notsexist and #truth on there like that actually means something. Men just can’t stand that some of their perceived power is being “taken away.” It pisses me off so much that I can only look at so many at a time because sometimes I’ll laugh because it’s so stupid and the sometimes I feel like smashing my face against a wall after doing so.
