Diversity Down

The image of Hilary Clinton below has been covered up by the artist after the local Melbourne council deemed it not in keeping with their “stance on gender equity”.

The full statement: “We believe that this mural is offensive because of the depiction of a near-naked woman, not on the basis of disrespect to Hillary Clinton, and it is not in keeping with our stance on gender equity.” 

An interesting proposition this one, given that they undoubtedly have bikini clad models on billboards, just up the street.

Taken at face value the implication is that gender equity can’t really exist and can only be approximated by a complete cover up.

All power to the artist for his obviously pre-meditated 1-2 punch.
