Facebook’s Sexist Default Profile Picture is of a Male Silhouette
Dear Facebook Representative,
why is your sexist profile picture, for people who have not uploaded a photo, that of a man or boy in silhouette?
Is Facebook so sexist that they only regard boys and men as users? Or that women and girls will just have to assume that they’re included when really they’ve been explicitly excluded?
How would you like it if we showed all pictures of a girl in silhouette and all of the boys and men had to just assume that they were automatically to be included into that default category?
PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS SEXISM QUERY?
Thank you

I agree! I’ve often thought about that too.

acctually, if you put your gender as female, it is a female silhouette, and male if you put male. Get your info right, and get a grip. All youre doing is reinforcing the negative stereotype of a feminist.

Yep…get a life. As a female I agree you need to find something better to do.
