I am sure many of my readers are familiar with the actor Ryan Gosling. However what some of my readers might not be aware of (although I bet many are) is the fact that Gosling, or at least his image, is currently part of an internet phenomenon "Feminist Ryan Gosling."
Feminist Ryan Gosling is just what it sounds like. Pictures of Gosling from various films and in various positions (often he is some kind of sexy pose) and there is a caption espousing some kind of feminist idea. I find it quite humorous. Gosling is spreading as well to other kinds of topics, my favorite of which is Neuroscientist Ryan Gosling, where his picture is captioned by neurological and psychiatric references .
Feminist Gosling I think is a fun and light-hearted way to raise awareness of the issue of feminism, and with the internet the way it is, it is quite easy to spread such images around. However, my only problem I might potentially see with such a route is that since this is only a very non-serious idea people might not actually take the message of feminism that it IS trying to send seriously. What does the peanut gallery think?
