What Politics Looks Like When You Delete Men From The Photos

ADVERTISEMENT

Elle UK recently published a video showing how few women are in powerful positions around the world. The video is part of Elle’s greater #MoreWomen campaign, and was produced by Alex Holder and Alyssa Boni from RSA films. To make the film, pictures of political gatherings were Photoshopped to remove all men, leaving eerily empty rooms with only a few women.

“The story of how women in positions of strength continually support and empower each other is consistently ignored while the myth that we pit ourselves against each other perpetuates,” reads the #MoreWomen campaign page on Elle. “We want to change this narrative in our feminism issue and create a more positive conversation – to reflect the power of women, and to support and grow each other as we push for global equality.”

I really believe people should be chosen to be take posiiotn based on their professional skills, not gender or genitals

I do to, but you have to understand the complexity of the issue. Someone should not be chosen to fill the "woman role" or the "token black" but we instinctual hire and mentor people more like ourselves. Its good to note the lack of diversity in any area. We need more men in elementary schools and nursing for example.

What exactly is the point of this? That men should be removed from politics? I don't understand the message they're trying to convey here

I was joking of course... Actually I find it quite sad that women are still so underrepresented in politics...

I'd rather we had #MoreCompetent people in power. Genitals are the least important ''skill'' when running a country. In fact, the only place where genitals make a difference is the bedroom. Can we please stop with that silly feminism thing now? Its embarrassing.

It would also be nice to stop with that silly sexism that has ruled the world until, well, today, as those pictures show.

Emma Watson can no more speak for the most oppressed women and girls in the world than any man could. She's never know a days poverty. I'd be surprised if she wipes her own a*s. Further, she's not a political figure, she's an actor, and mediocre one at that.

So it's not about the individual women or the positions they hold (Queen Elizabeth II of the UK, Hillary Clinton who will likely being the next POTUS) but rather, the important factor is a gender-centric representation based on raw numbers? That's a little, oh I dunno, sexist?

The U.S. was built by men. You're welcome for the country you live in.

Well women were only allowed to birth kids, raise kids, cook, and clean for centuries. So what exactly is your point 'Man Rulz'?

What if men were deleted completely? And since we're there: allow women to take jobs in wealding, allow women to pursue a career as a dustman (we'll call it dustwoman), allow women to work in mines, allow women to do hard work, allow women have a social status in order to be desirable, allow women to do hard labour and so on. Why should men get all the fun? Now to be serious. Good photoshopping, but useless article.
