When I'm bored and don't have a clue what to blog about I normally go to Yahoo Answers and see what people are asking. This morning when I realized I was super busy this week and forgot to do my blogs, I logged on to Yahoo Answers. I found a person asking "Are some women more equal than other women?" This kind of related to another blog I wrote asking if I could possibly be more monogamous than another person. The more info part of the question says:
For instance, the media will pay a lot of attention if a young blonde white woman is murdered by her father or brother. Yet if the same thing happens to a Middle Eastern or South Asian woman in the same country, the media is very quiet about it, if they pay any attention at all.
Does this mean that some women are more equal than others, or that some women are less equal than other women?
Feminists and equalists, please explain this to me...
I wouldn't say that women are more equal, but I would say that some women get a lot more attention. I feel like it's a media thing though. There's a typical person the media wants to show. Blond white women are popular, I don't know why. But, I've seen a lot of things with them. I wouldn't say they are more equal than any other woman though.
How would you answer the question?
