“Gender Podium” by Marilena Nardi

In this image, it shows 3 men being carried by 3 women inside the podium. All 3 of the women facial expressions shows that they aren’t wanting do hold them up while the 3 men are up their smiling without acknowledging them or giving credit to the women. It shows that women might be doing all the hard work behind the scenes but because they are men, people will assume they are “successful” or “more hard working”. The picture is also trying to represent that women always have to be below men and that if you’re a man you get more respect and glory.

 

This image connects to respect because it shows that not everyone will get respect even if they deserve it and some people such as women will have it harder even if they are a good person.
