People Say Santa Should Now Be Female Or Gender Neutral
It just wouldn’t be Christmas time if people didn’t argue over the gender of Santa Claus. While many people associate Santa as a jolly white-bearded man who likes to wear red and eat treats left beside the chimney, others are wondering how Santa can “reinvent himself.”
One company went ahead and asked a bunch of people if Santa needs an update for modern times. The options ranged anywhere from keeping Santa the same to Santa being a woman. Another option was to make Santa gender-neutral.
The results showed that roughly 19 percent of US people believe Santa should be identified as neither male nor female. More than 10 percent said Santa should identify as a woman, which means about 70 percent of people still believe Father Christmas should be a male.
- Over on social media, the results of the survey have had mixed reactions, with some claiming the idea is “ridiculous”, while others don’t understand the point in arguing over a made-up character.
Merry Christmas!
