every single one of the people in this photo should be ashamed of themselves.
what is this doing for women in archaeology, except reducing us to the lowest common denominator, again?? congratulations to the girls for all being very pretty and everything, and i agree with the concept of if-you've-got-it-flaunt-it, why not? but at the same time, this stupid photo is not as harmless as it seems to be. and i'm not even a feminist! women are good at all kinds of things on site, apart from being purely decorative, and it pisses me off that these girls felt it was necessary to once again highlight thethe fact that they have a vagina as being something noteworthy in the context of their chosen profession.
totally, totally, UNSEXY.
