You can't make it up!

Tricia Cusack, an art historian at the University of Birmingham, has been studying the cultural meaning of snowmen for five years and has concluded that they are simply another symbol of male dominance in society.

Ms. Cusack's findings have attracted considerable interest, with interviews on BBC Radio and articles in the national press wryly burying the snowman as the latest victim of political correctness.

"The snowman is, of course, white, invariably male and generally adult," Ms. Cusack wrote in an article published in the left-wing journal New Formation, noting that its "bulbous body, phallic carrot-nose and blank, unindividualized eyes have obvious elements of the grotesque."

She calls snowmen "rotund relics of Bacchanalia."

It's no coincidence, she contends, that the snowman is generally male and is erected in front of the home, while the woman of the house is inside toiling -- cooking Christmas dinner, for instance.

"The snowman's masculinity and its ritual position in the semi-public space of the garden or field arguably help to substantiate an ideology upholding a gendered spatial-social system marking women's proper sphere as the domestic-private and men's as the commercial-public," she writes.

"The snowman colludes in a gendered division of social space and presents an image, however jocular, of masculine control of public space. . . . The snowman's location just within the private sphere emphasizes masculine stewardship."

Was it you who posted this awhile back?:

I made a snowman...



8:00 am: I made a snowman.

8:10 am: A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snowwoman.

8:15 am: So, I made a snowwoman.

8:17 am: My feminist neighbor complained about the snowwoman's voluptuous chest, saying it objectified snowwomen everywhere.

8:20 am: The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead.

8:22 am: My transgender friend passed by and asked why I didn't just make one snowperson with detachable parts.

8:25 am: The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with.

8:28 am: I am being called a racist because the snow couple is white.

8:31 am: The Muslim gent across the road demanded the snow woman wear a burqa.

8:40 am: The police arrive, saying someone has been offended.

8:42 am: The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snowwoman needs to be removed, because it depicted women in a domestic role.

8:43 am: The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction.

8:45 am: My local TV news crew from the ABC showed up, asking me if I know the difference between snowmen and snowwomen. I replied, "Snowballs." Now I’m called a sexist.

9:00 am: I'm on the morning news, being described as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe, and sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.

9:10 am: I am asked if I have any accomplices. My children are taken by social services.

9:29 am: Far left protesters offended by everything are marching down the street demanding I be charged by the Anti-Everything Commissioner and then beheaded.

So, how's your morning been?

But they're white! Can't have that unless you make snowpeople of color as well.

Ever hear of yellow snow? Plenty of it in our back yard. And other colors.

Watch out where the huskies go,
And don't you eat that yellow snow
