I've been studying feminism a lot in literature recently, my Language and Culture tutor is a real hardline feminist and even she thought this Shirtstorm stuff was crap.
Personally I find that the sensational feminists are nothing but disgruntled women looking to blame people for whatever reason nobody in highschool liked them. Feminism should largely now be focused on the Middle East and religion, but it is a hard thing to change, unfortunately Muslims take their holy words seriously unlike the majority of Catholics.
Personally i think that religion is the main adversary to women, not some guy's shirt. I also feel as though feminists in large tend to make too much of an issue over stuff, so they want a woman on a banknote, understandable but is it really that important?
Eventually we'll need a black guy, a Jewish person, a Muslim, a Hindu and any other category that feels left out of banknote pictures, i find it a bit silly.
I wrote a poem about how silly i find it.
Hypocritical oath of the open minded
Theres nothing so bold as a sexist, held in beaten bra
The world full of enemies, their reach endlessly far
What stand can hold a torch, to light those darkened minds
As in a world of patriarchy, the cunning spring to blind
Hidden in the subtext, among the words and rotes
An uncertain phallus, through hermenuetics floats
but look for what you seek, and the answer you will find
the blindness of the cunning, the phallus of their mind
