Jan Brewer

While traveling from New Mexico to Arizona via I-40 one of the first things I saw after entering AZ was this image on a billboard. It seriously made my blood fucking boil. It is so not cool to use a classic image, an image that has long been associated with the feminist movement. And then to change "Rosie" and make her blond, is totally despicable. With the racial tension in AZ I have to assume that they took the image and intentionally made it look more European. I may be wrong but I don't think I am.


For a long time now I have been really impressed with the image of "Rosie the Riveter". To me it symbolizes our country's need for women in the workplace and our ability to show the would what we could do, despite being told that we weren't able. Below I found this image of a "real Rosie", I think it is really cool and wanted to share.


In conclusion, FUCK JAN BREWER! I hope that she loses the campaign, though I don't think she will. I grew up in AZ and it makes me incredible sad to learn how racist of a state it actually is. I am glad I don't live there.
