Keep The Status Quo!
BY EMMALY WIEDERHOLT; DRAWINGS BY MAGGIE STACK
For the past month, I’ve interviewed several female choreographers and artistic directors of ballet companies across the country on the topic of female leadership. Their responses spanned the gamut and were insightful and provocative. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that we have to keep the status quo for the following reasons:
1. Women might get their periods and be too emotionally crazy to direct or choreograph.
2. Women might clash with the male board members or funders.
3. Women might not dress their dancers in skimpy costumes, which could affect ticket sales.
4. Women might go through menopause and have so many hot flashes, the dancers freeze.
5. Women might be just as good as men at directing and choreographing, which will force legions of male artistic directors and choreographers in ballet companies to apply for unemployment.

That’s was published in the Bunion, right?
No one could really believe stuff like that.
