Mission of the Ferris MoSO
The mission of the Ferris Museum of Sexist Objects is to be a leader in raising awareness and inspiring activism in response to everyday items that promote sexism, gendered violence, and female stereotypes. The Museum provides a learning environment that encourages scholarly dialogue and fosters research.
"Question: How do you manage to oppress over 50 percent of this society's population and not have a revolution on your hands? Answer: You make it seem 'normal.'"
— Heather W. Hackman
