Apple this morning shared a new video in its ongoing "Behind the Mac" series, this time highlighting women who are "changing the world" using the Mac.


The video is set to the song "Flawless" by Beyoncé, which also features Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It consists of a series of still black and white images of influential women that include Malala Yousafzai, Ava Duvernay, Marie Kondo, Greta Gerwig, Gloria Steinem, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, Olivia Wilde, and others.

Apple has a full list of all the women featured in the video along with their accomplishments in the video's description.

Apple has been sharing videos in the "Behind the Mac" series since August 2018. Most recently, on its Japanese YouTube channel, Apple did a fun "Behind the Mac" video that focused on anime characters using Macs.

In March, Apple is also hosting "She Creates" Today at Apple sessions in its retail stores, and sharing apps, TV shows, books, podcasts, and more created by women.

Typical Apple/SJW/feminist misrepresentation of reality. No way in hell you'd have that many cats with you without at least three of them trying to sit on the keyboard! :rolleyes:

It doesn't matter how much BS propaganda get spewed forth from the media and 'right-on' companies like Apple. Western civilisation was built by men. Strong men. Men of vision. They alone have spilled their blood on battlefields to keep us free. They are the risk takers to go to the depths of the oceans and travel to the Moon. Feminists should just get over it.

Queen Victoria and Catherine the Great would laugh at that statement.

The usual modern Apple claptrap:

Adichie: "I am angry. Gender as it functions today is a grave injustice. We should all be angry."
Steinem: Author of the "One Free Grope" rule:https://www.nytimes.com/1998/03/24/opinion/law-in-the-clinton-era-a-feminist-dilemma.html

I'm not going to even look into the rest.

Meanwhile, Tim Cook offshored manufacturing to mainland dictatorial China, where women were FORCED to have abortions, and baby girls were (and still are) routinely killed just for being girls. Check out the recent documentary "One Child Nation" (https://thefederalist.com/2019/05/0...eals-the-true-evil-of-chinas-communist-party/)

(Typing this on a 1.5 year old MacBook Pro with defective video and muffled audio, as Apple's QC has gone to hell.)

Agreed. The narrative music track from Beyonce well selected, yet too muted. Moreover this video is FAR too short to display ANY relevance to any of these woman ... seems to diminish their importance that that is just plain SAD and almost rude by the marketing team. As if they did NOT have enough time.

Apple Marketing ... would be nice to at LEAST feature the women's names and what they've done thus far as a sub-inline title to their first appearances. Moreover feature them working on the Mac and what they've accomplished!

It's not just strong women that would love to see more ... it's confident, strong, and respecting gentleman that want to see more and learn more too!

Not disagreeing with your point per se, but Victoria would not be a good example.

The success of the UK during that time can be more credited to the Prime Ministers, such as Gladstone and Disraeli. They were the ones that really dictated the UK's policy, as after the Glorious Revolution the monarch didn't have much power.

Funny seeing people so easily get the shakes from something so innocuous!

Pointing out the silliness of "International Women's Day" does not equate to giving one the "shakes."

Your attempt to portray legitimate criticism as hysterics is transparent and almost as terminally silly as "International Women's Day."

It's funny how Apple just played to the stereotype of a cat lady.

The only difference is THAT cat lady is attractive and MOST cat ladies are ***** HAGS.

While as any user in PRSI knows I am certainly not a friend of feminists or left winger ideologies, and while I don't like companies lecturing me, your statement is false. Western Civilization was built by the collaboration between men and women during the trying times that were the majority of human history.
Men and women, either the billions or unknowns that lived and died, or the few greats of which we know their name, cooperated thru harsh environments, thru wars, thru awful famines, thru terrible diseases. Never before anyone lived so comfortably as we do now.
Let's stop this man vs woman madness; we need each other.

Hard to tell if you're just trolling. If not, you are a symptom of many things wrong with the world today.

Yes, many fields were long the near-exclusive domain of men - because men would not allow women to take part in those fields. Over the past decades that's been changing, and it's about damn time. And the women were, in fact, there, in many of those fields, just not in large numbers. Maybe you should acquaint yourself with this article, for starters: Without these women, man would not have walked on the moon.

You present this as if it's something that men should be proud of ("hey! we kept women out of these fields/professions and did them all ourselves!"), rather than something they should feel ashamed about and maybe try to rectify.
