Fun Chrome Extension Gender-Swaps The Internet
LatestA blogger has created a fun new tool that switches the gender of all gendered words on webpages, yielding some amusing and thought-provoking results.
Danielle Sucher’s Chrome extension Jailbreak the Patriarchy swaps woman for man, she for he, Ms. for Mr., and so on (it has a little bit of trouble with her, since it can be an object or a possessive). The results are both entertaining and illuminating — swapping the genders really shows how ridiculous some stereotypes are, as well as what the world would look like if men’s and women’s roles were reversed. Below, a few examples:
Maureen Dowd’s column last week:
If you thought the recession had dampened interest in luxury accessories, you didn’t see the men lined up after daybreak at the Warwick Hotel on Thursday. A room there was the scene of one of New York’s most feral anthropological tableaus: the biannual Manolo Blahnik sample sale. […] Not since Cinderella’s stepsisters mutilated their feet to squeeze into that glass slipper have men leveled such fierce desire at footwear. At last fall’s sale, two men dumped their babies on Manolo employees in the lobby as they sped into the room.
