Facebook Sexist?




The facebook default for not having a picture is sexist. It resembles a male head and shoulders in silhouette. Regardless of the fact that we live in a patriarchal society, male is not the norm and half the population is female. I realize most people put up their own photo but to have a default photo that promotes the idea that being male is the norm while being female is deviant is blatantly sexist. The question mark was a much better idea. I really dislike the new silhouette.
