‘Big sexism debate'

'Big sexism debate'

Mercredi 22 avril 20:00 | Aula Max Weber - Parklaan 3000 Leuven

Sexism is a hot topic. But is that appropriate ? A lot of women complained about street harassment using the hashtag #wijoverdrijvenniet (we are not exaggerating). The reactions upon that hashtag show that not everyone agrees on these women's opinions. Some people say they do exaggerate. It's not street harassment, but it's all about compliments. And these women should be flattered.

The KULeuven received complaints about the 'tettenavond' (tits night), organized in the fakbar Gnorgl. Many people find that there is nothing wrong with these kind of parties however. And the advertising of naked women on posters is tradition, that should not be broken.

Lately Zuhal Demir, a politician, posed for P-magazine wearing sexy outfits. Some people find this a problem, others state that it is actually a feminist action.

Speakers :

• KU Leuven Feminist Society
