↓ TranscriptPanel 1:
Chloe: PooPal, why is the Mars Curiosity Rover is a she?
PooPal: I suppose because NASA knows that we shouldn't fall into the trap of assigning male gender to all genderless things. And women need more role models in science.
Panel 2:
Chloe: So should we say that you're a she?
PooPal: Well, that WOULD combat the "men are generic, women are special" trope.
Panel 3: Chloe puts on a pink bow on PooPal's heads.
Chloe: Great! You're a she!
PooPal: No, no. Putting a bow on my goes back to reinforcing that "women are special."
Panel 4:
Chloe: Oh. Oops. (looking embarrassed) Can you open up? I gotta go.
PooPal: (dejected) Maybe I should go genderless. No one wants role models in the area of poo-cleanup.
Even Miss Packman didn’t need a bow for people to know she was a woman. She had lipstick and eye lashes too!
I gave some of my external hard drives female names. But my most frequent thumb drive got a male traveler’s name, and if I named my laptop it’d be a guy’s name.
Can’t I have both Jarvis and GlaDDOS? Can’t you see you’re tearing us apart?
Poor poo pal, im sure all literate litter boxs will look up to him
