I've taken a good fifteen to twenty minutes just staring at these pictures and I know something is there, I just don't think I am smart enough to see it. I suppose we can take a look at the pictures first then look at what each is saying. There is the picture of the volcano blowing up, something blowing up is something that is usually thought of as masculine, since us guys normally like when things get destroyed. THen there is the picture that says "You make history when you do business" Normally business is looked at as a man's world and it is the deals that men make through business that have shaped certain aspects of the more recent world. There are news stories all the time of which old white man is making millions or selling his portion to another rich white man, and this is the history that is being made. I don't know if Kruger is out right challenging men, she may well be but I might be too manly to notice, but she is most definitely pointing out the trivialness of such action points that our masculinity has.
