Gender War Factory

I look forward to the day I never have to read another newspaper piece blaming feminists for the "decline of civilisation" and beating up "the gender war" or "the battle of the sexes". I mean, how can treating such fundamental interpersonal relationships as if they were a war be good for humanity? This is not to say I believe women's quest for a fair go is over. Far from it. Sure, women have made great advances over the past century, but patriarchy remains a destructive, limiting force for both men and women, and its end cannot come too soon.

The newspaper I work for has moved its office into an industrial complex with lots of old and dingy warehouses out the back. These mannequins sit on the first floor ledge of a shopfitters warehouse. I can't help staring at them every time I go for a fag break (don't lecture me, I plan to quit smoking within a fortnight). In a few weeks I'll upload an alternative B&W version with better lighting and a slightly different arrangement. This was a quick digital snap to tide me over

Oh ... I'm creating a Mannquins devpack. If you have mannequin pix I should add, let me know.

I find it interesting that a mannequin facotry would set up a display like this. In an industry where craftspeople have to amplify the qualities of each sex to make mannequins the usefully items they can be, there seems to be an awefull lot of those who just seem to amplify the male domination. So i see this and smile. They may be stuck making skin and bone women and muscle clad men, but at least they can poke fun at their customers.

I love the subtle humor and sarcasm in this terrific statement you are making. I like the textures, the expressive poses, nice capture of tone and light, too.

Great capture and statement, Iain.

What is it that "they" say... a picture is worth a thousand words? This is a fine example of that.
We fight because we see ourselves in each other and feel threatened by it. Just because the "outside" may look different, it doesn't mean that what we have on the inside is all that different.

This is great, i completely love it.........
sexuality is always an aenigma, they fight because itΒ΄s easyer than questioning theirselves........
