But I would insist that it does, precisely, say that they'll have to take arms against the oppressor's wrong, that there are forces arraigned against them. I don't actually think they have to resist those dummies.<br />Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858865501469168339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10721624.post-68558444450896991042017-04-21T02:29:14.977+02:002017-04-21T02:29:14.977+02:00You guys! You have misinterpreted the Microsoft ad...You guys! You have misinterpreted the Microsoft ad. It doesn't say "you won't solve these problems because you're female." It doesn't. Usually you guys are on point and analytical and read carefully. On this one you have misinterpreted it very badly. Why? <br /><br />It shows some examples of young women reacting to preposterous (to them if not to us) claims that they won't achieve their dreams. In their own ways, they are expressing what Thomas has written: you don't tell this stuff to 12 year olds. It's not age appropriate. Inspire them. (That's what the ad does). Arm them to resist dummies with stereotypes of what they can achieve (that's what the ad tried to do also). Show adults how these young women react (stunned silence and disbelief) when presented with a preposterous claim.<br /><br />It's a typical ad in many respects, but that's the medium of an ad. We can criticize it for suggesting that Microsoft VR will help them solve climate change (yeah, right).
