As much as I like 9/11 memes, not a fan of this one. It’s feel kinda uhh uncomfortable
This is awful but I can’t stop laughing
Context:
Misogyny warning
“The blog ruminations of the director of mensaction.net, who was a former military officer himself, was particularly Ripperian. ‘The phallic symbol of America had been cut off,’ he wrote of the World Trade Center, ‘and at its base was a large smoldering vagina, the true symbol of American culture, for it is the western culture that represents the feminine materialistic principle, and it is at its extreme in America.’”
— Susan Faludi, The Terror Dream (2007)
This was not the only site to say this after 9/11, and I can only assume that’s why the towers are depicted this way here.
It’s actually based on this meme.
Interesting. Thanks for clarifying.
It’s disappointing though that people somehow used 9/11 to justify misogyny to the point that this was my interpretation of the image.
It’s an important context in regards to 9/11 reaction that someone one day made a misogynistic remark on a far right website about it?
Edited above comment to clarify my intention
