This article was issued on December 3, 2007. The author is anonymous. The article explains how Peter "Buck" McGowan took over as the new chief of worldwide initiative for women's rights. He oversees the day to day operations. He made eliminating sexual harassment his first priority before working on securing many other things. He says, "All the feminist movement needed to do was bring on someone who had the balls to do something about this glass ceiling business." Throughout the whole article, he had used phrases like "You cant wast time pussyfooting around protests and getting all emotional about a bunch or irrelevant details" Even the women, are praising him, saying how he is a self assured guy and now the feminist movement gains respect. Do they not see what just happened? It is supposed to be a FEMINIST movement , and they put a guy in charge? They just lost the whole concept of what they were working for. The movement is supposed to show, how women are independent and can do anything just as well as men. I believe that this is where the sarcasm and humor kicks in. It shows, how women can be so blinded by men's power, and the author uses great phrases that Mr. McGowan has said, to show that he is also sexist. He says, "If you want to enjoy equal rights you have to have a real man-to-man chat with the people in charge." He is using other men to help the women movement.
I think this article gives women much to think about. Why would they put a man in charge? Women can do the same things as men, even sometimes better. The humor and sarcasm is all in this ironic situation.
