Let the girls play too!
The running of the bulls in Spain. An event internationally known for its exciting atmosphere and historic traditions. From what I have seen and heard it sounds like good fun for all right? Well a women’s group this year isn’t happen with the festivals tradition of running only bulls. They are calling for cows to run as well. Yes, that is right, an anonymous group is calling for the equality of the bulls and the cows. The article in the Washington Post shows the women are quite serious about their stance.
Of course the notion is being dismissed as absurd since women and men are both allowed to run with the bulls. But is it so far-fetched to think that cows should be allowed to participate as well? It might actually be safer for the participants since they won’t have to worry about being shanked with a bull horn.
I guess the point that this group is trying to make is that gender equality doesn’t extent to the animal kingdom. Even if the idea is a little out there, I think the point was to make people take notice. At the very least, it got a laugh.
