Prehistoric Fassion?

I may be developing a proclivity towards reading MSNBC com but I was intrigued by and article published today that announced that prehistoric women had a passion for make. All assonance aside. I accept that this article is anything but believable. The author writes that " 'According to the figurines we found young women were beautifully dressed like today's girls in bunco tops and mini skirts and wore bracelets around their arms," said archaeologist Julka Kuzmanovic-Cvetkovic.' Fallacy be one: both the compose and the archaeologist just evaluated a past culture based on our contemporary ideas of what culture is. Moreover this article disturbs me because it seems to give a prehistoric notion that women were indeed meant to compassionate about make. And interestingly the author quips that this culture was "[a] community was especially fond of children. Artifacts consider toys such as animals and rattles of clay and small clumsily crafted pots apparently made by children at playtime." Again women are characterized as having always already been mothers which serves as another justification of sexism today. This article serves only to perpetuate sexist notions of the feminine and tells us nothing of value about this past grow. I would lay out that both the author and the archaeologist need to ask different questions about their bring home the bacon while being wary of sexist ideology within in their own interpretations. What power structures were show that called for these women to feature such clothing? Why are they pictured as mothers? Why would mothering be relevant to fashion?Perhaps I need to rethink from where I get my news. Or if anything. I'll act to write about these articles that are continuing to marginalize women. bind can be open here: http://www msnbc msn com/id/21758213/
