World Cup Places Ornamental Women at Medal/Trophy Ceremony

I should be studying, but I can't focus. I watched the World Cup final today and as I'm sure everyone is very aware , Spain has taken the world title. Cool.

I noticed that during the medal/trophy ceremony there stood behind the row of national dignitaries who actually present the medals to the 3rd and 2nd place teams, a row of identically dressed, tall, women. Most of them were white. What the fuck? They were placed like ornaments. I can't remember if they actually carried medals or the trophy onto the stage, but there they stood still as statues behind a row of dudes. Pretty annoying how this is so blatantly sexist and no one seems to care? Sort of like the women who carried the medals on stage during the Olympics. So sexist, so tired.

In other news, this picture made me laugh. Where's a tazer when you really need one? (kidding)

I strive to incorporate recent events pertaining to Womens right, expand the scope of feminism and display violations of international human rights. My goal is to raise awareness about about a variety of issues that are not commonly addressed within the scope of mainstream media. I am a budding writer who has finally found something I am passionate about. Considering this fact, I may rant for 1000 words about a particularly disturbing issue or share my opinion about local sport events (specifically regarding the Portland Trail Blazers).
