Another lesson in marginalization-- I wanted to add a little humor to a post,

[BlancheSplanchnik]

So I go to trusty ol' Google, looking for images for FacePalm...(that term itself is kind of schmucky, but the image would have worked)....

I wasn't really thinking about *dramatic musical sting* SEXISM, until I saw funny images
of men

men
more men
statues
jesus
men
bears
lions
men
men men
cats
dogs
cartoon dudes
men
kitties
men

Not one single female in ten pages of Google search.

The world is interpreted back to us all through the eyes of men, guys, dudes, whatever...and it is chilling to see that in the eyes of the other half of the population, we DON'T EXIST in most any active way, except as one nameless, interchangeable pair of tits, ass and usually but not always, a head. With a pretty, vapid face. Of various color. But always pretty and vacant.

It always pisses me off, but sometimes it just...gets to me at a deeper level. Ya know?

1. I think I'll use the term,

'Invisiblized' instead of 'Marginalized.' And it's in memory of Mary Daly.
