The other day on Facebook I read an article posted by someone I admire and have known since high school. I know if she is on her "soap box" about something normally there is good reason. SO I read the story. Then I got on my soap box and shared the link. And then it went quiet. I guess it wasn't a cute link to a story about a cat or a dog, or a dancing baby - you know the ones, they get 100's of 1000's of like and comments. This article was about something people don't want to comment on/are too afraid to comment on OR, straight out, they don't care. And I'd like to think I am surrounded by people in my social media stratosphere that do care..
Here's the story: From Little Things Big Things Grow
it's a delightful story about a company called "Wicked Campers" - who, as the name suggests, rents out camper vans to people travelling around Australia. Where is the fuss in that I hear you ask.. The fuss isn't in that - the fuss is in the slogans they have painted on their vans. One delightful example if below:
Just in case you can't read it, it says: "In every princess there is a little slut who wants to try it just once".
Really? That is acceptable and not worthy of some outrage?
As the write of the article says: "When something is
wrong and has become normalised it’s the exact moment to speak up."
I think it is time to speak up.
