Guns Protect Women Better Than Men
via Sociological Images: Seeing Is Believing by Gwen on April 20, 2008
What's interesting about this image is the comment on masculinity--the implication is that "pacifist" men (whatever "pacifist" is taken to mean) aren't "real" men because they can't or won't fulfill their role of protecting women.

Map of Happiness
via Sociological Images: Seeing Is Believing by Gwen on April 22, 2008

This could be useful for a discussion of how we measure things like "happiness," as well as the obvious correlation between levels of economic development and overall happiness of the population.Thanks to Tracy R.!

Theorizing Feminism and its discontents
via Sociological Images: Seeing Is Believing by Lisa on April 24, 2008
This photo art by Sarah Maple might be useful for starting a conversation about what feminism is and isn't (and is and isn't), who has control of such definitions (seems like Rush Limbaugh has had quite an impact), and what's so scary about it:Thanks to lawgeek for the tip!

the social constructedness of social groups
via Sociological Images: Seeing Is Believing by Lisa on April 24, 2008
The way in which we divide ourselves in society, the differences that we make salient, the social groups that we invent and label are all social constructions. What makes all things masculine hang together (beer, hunting, being a CEO, eschewing baths), except that they are all things we identify as masculine? What makes limited government and the Defense of Marriage Act seem related, except...
