Recent times have shown that sexism is far from being eradicated. This is evident from the scandal with Vindicat's 'Sincere Almanac' and Donald Trump's misogynistic statements. The hypocritical thing about these examples is that those guilty of sexism often preach gender equality on stage. In practice, however, they apply different standards when it comes to women. High time, therefore, for a Left Dicks evening with a feminist twist: Left Pussy! This evening will take place on Wednesday 23 November at the premises of the PvdA (Haddingestraat 10). Doors will be open from 19:30 and we will start at 20:00.
During the evening, we will focus on the following question: why do so many people pretend to be in favour of gender equality but still hold sexist thought patterns in practice? We also want to discuss how these sexist thought patterns came about and whether they can ever be broken. The evening will consist of an in-depth part and a part reserved for discussion. The in-depth part will be provided by Iris Busschers, researcher and board member of the Centre for Gender Studies at the RUG.
