Dumbest Protest Signs

If this was true, ever consider how little opportunities women have had to do great things

[Jack Mann]

And some of them still managed regardless.  Because they were awesome like that.

It's criminal to keep half the potential contributors locked out of human achievement.

The issue with women and inventing things is more of an old sex role stereotype dying out too slowly.

Drafting and designing a prototype is great, but you really need to know how to use tools to develop an invention

 - even if you plan to hire out the prototype build, or produce a 3D model on a rapid prototype machine -

because you have to understand what is possible and what is not in the manufacturing process.


Many more parents are now willing to teach their little girls how to use basic tools, and their little boys how to use a

vacuum or sew a hem, but the old meme of "tools are for men/tool use makes you look butch" thing for women remains

kinda prevalent, and many girls still never learn how to use tools. I hate that. I have used tools since I was six, building toys

and eventually, a crossbow that my dad deemed "good enough" for safekeeping in his rifle display case. 

Yeah, the thing was a bit deadly for a ten year old, unsupervised.

 

I'm recording videos as I build out a tricycle vending cart...you know, so people won't think I'm a liar when I tell them I built

my own cart? The clips are mostly intended to be primers for newbies on tool use, structural concepts,

alternative energy devices, and for anyone who likes my cart and wants to build one like it.


It's got a solar panel that runs the 12 volt ice cream freezer. I'm building a solar evacuated tube oven for baking fresh

cookies, and using more of the same tubes for a solar coffee brewer. It will have LED lighting effects and signals, a 60

volt/1000watt electric hub motor for the tricycle, a 3G hotspot,  etc.

I'm not sure why women should get the blame for millennia of oppression by men. Nor why men as a gender should get credit for fixing in part the crimes we created as a gender.

Remember the other sign from Moms Deman Action about fairytales and the rifles?

Well... 2x the stupid in this one. Guess why:

I wonder, did the kids get to read the ad copy before the photo shoot? 'Cause that would explain why the girl has that "thousand yard stare" thing going on.

I always assumed the point of those graphics was that they're willing to ban books & that chocolate egg thing but not ban automatic weapons....I thought it was a good point. Perhaps I interpreted it wrong.

[Shane for Wax]

Neither are banned. Same with the fairy tales and the rifle in the other ad I posted.

Also the girl has no trigger discipline.

Damn!

I've actually re-blogged stuff on Facebook & Tumblr that was doorknob stupid because I misinterpreted it to mean the opposite. I must learn to comprehend better.

I re-blogged on Facebook the "Fairy Tale/Gun" graphic because I assumed the message was "We ban books but we don't ban assault weapons, our priorities are all wrong".

Likewise, I re-blogged the "Pics of North Korean People" on Tumblr because I assumed it was saying, "If we end up at war with North Korea, let's not vilify or make light of the suffering of the citizens like we did with the Iraqis".

If there's anyone else guilty of this I'd LOOOOVE to know.

This.  Kinder Surprise eggs were never banned.  Distributors pulled them because a few small kids choked on the plastic container that the "prize" is in.

Considering the size of those little prize pellets, there are actually some pretty cool things inside Kinder Surprise eggs.  But stateside, you can only really get them in places that specialize in Euro-candies.  I had one yesterday.  There were teeny little stickers inside with "magic" moving pictures of sports cars.

Are you certain? The FDA thinks otherwise.

[Shane for Wax]

American Kinder Surprise anyone?

Also, I think you can specially import the European ones.
