Nope - to me it's a gender neutral silhouette... if you are referring to the one in the Contacts App...

(if you are referring to something else, then I really am clueless re: what you are going on about).

This has raised my awareness on images. I crossed the street today and the green walking symbol looked like a male. So I stopped in the middle of the street and blocked traffic to protest

I don't know what all the fuss is about. It's not a male. It's a post-transitional transgender. Very progressive of BB!

I can relate to OP. I stopped standing in the sun because my shadow was always male and followed me everywhere I went. We should have choices...

What exactly is manly about this? Looks like Ellen to me.
Op is a sexist who views an image and automatically sees a stereotypical male silhouette. Grow up its 2015 a woman can wear a suit and have short hair.

Are you saying that just because the silhouette is white? It could be Halle Berry. You never know.

I think we should stop judging the contacts icon based on its appearance. We don't know how it feels.

It doesn't say nazi, it says feminazi which is a made up word and while possibly in bad taste, not the same in spelling or definition.
