"Man Finally Put In Charge of Struggling Feminist Movement"

     This article was found on TheOnion. It was issued on December 3, 2007, and the author was anonymous. A man named Peter McGowan took over as the leader of the women's rights initiative. His first priority was to extinguish sexual harassment towards women. He was basically making a change for the women. The women felt confident in Peter, and they saw him as a self assured man. Peter also took initiative in bringing more attention to women's sports and that gave women great pride.
     It seems funny how a man is in charge of a feminist movement, and trying to advance the women's rights initiative. The problem is, that the Feminist movement was to show how women can be independent on their own and do not need men to help them out. The sarcasm can be seen when Peter talks in a sexist way, and that the women still are dependent on the men to lead them and give them power. It is as if they NEED men to guide their way. It is funny that women are okay with a man being in charge of a feminist movement. In reality, women can do anything that men can do, and sometimes, even better. The article, in a way, was trying to tell people that women can not be great leaders, and that they are not good enough.
