| My friends [http://web.media.mit.edu/~rusti/ Annina] and [http://web.media.mit.edu/~kbrennan/ Karen] saw the following "Babe Crossing" sticker on a laptop in the [http://www.media.mit.edu MIT Media Lab] where we all work.

| Predictably enough, they were offended by it and decided to talk to the laptop's owner. When Annina and Karen offered to make him a new sticker to stand in for (or augment) the old one, he accepted. I really like what they came up with.

| It says ''Feminist in Training''.They printed the sticker on the Media Lab's vinyl cutter.

| I can think of many less productive courses that this story could have taken and none that were better. The new sticker is a positive statement that references and builds on the problematic one rather simply eliminating or obscuring it and sweeping it away from view. It's a productive form of commentary and critique visible to everyone who sees it.
