[quote]There are calls for the US and Canada to put a woman on a banknote. A similar campaign in the UK successfully convinced the Bank of England to put Jane Austen on the £10 note. But is just one woman per country enough?
American bills have portraits of the country's Founding Fathers and former presidents. Chinese notes have Mao Zedong and Indian ones have Mahatma Gandhi, but none of them feature any women. Many other currencies also stick to men, sometimes including a token woman or two.[/quote]

No, its not. Until a woman becomes president we don't have any female presidents to put on them! Now, if we get a female president we should definitely do it.
-
Pocahontas is on the dollar coin if I remember correctly.
-
The white men on those bills couldn't help that they were privileged.

Are feminists just looking for anything to make sexist? I think it's time to calm down

Who cares? American money has so little value now that it doesn't really matter. Especially when we all start using digital currency.

I'm just gonna leave this picture here

That totally put this image in my head.
-
In Canada we have Queen Elizabeth on some of our money
-
In England we have the queen in money...

Though this is mot sexist, I find it neat Jane Austen is on the British 10 pound thing.
-
As soon as a woman does something for the country worth being put on money for, then a woman can be put on a bill. Otherwise, feminists can -blam!- off.
-
No. The only people with the exception of Ben Franklin that are on us money are presidents. If Hillary wins she should be the first.
-
Do these men deserve to be on a note? Yes? Then it isn't sexist. Cutting out a man just to include a woman simply because you want a woman instead is extremely sexist.
-
No it's not sexist
-
who the -blam!- cares dude
-
Everything is sexist, racist or homophobic nowadays. You're scared to open your mouth now incase someone runs off crying claiming they're being discriminated against.
-
They're called dead presidents for a reason. If we have a female president and she dies, sure, put her on the bill.

And not to discredit Jane Austin, but I think Darwin made a much bigger contribution to society.

Of course, the men aren't on the money because they're men, it's because they kind of founded the money they're on.

Money is money who cares whose on it

Well there's that dollar coin lol
