Gals, “femojis” aka feminist emojis have arrived! Now, Taylor Swift or Oprah will speak on your behalf

There’s no denying, emoticons, today, do most of the talking for us. But why is it that only a boy can swim, raft and cycle? And all that a girl gets is a haircut, or maybe a playboy bunny costume! Why a girl can’t be more than just be a bride, a princess, a geisha, or for that matter, a sexy salsa dancer?

Cheers, ladies! Breaking free of the gender stereotyping, Makers, an American digital and video storytelling group that boasts of having one of the widest collections of women-centric stories, has launched a batch of “femojis” (aka female emojis) that feature women from a cross-section of fields.

Have a look at the female emojis:

If you want to tell your friends that you are having fun, a cat-hugging Taylor Swift will convey your message.

So, who’s coming to the party? Beyonce says it all.

Mae Jemison, the first African American woman to have travelled in space, may give you two wings just in time. Inspiration.

You may like to choose the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Ruth Bader Ginsburg to assist you giving the guy an earful who is mansplaining to you. Not to forget, she is also believed to be the first Supreme Court justice to officiate gay marriages. So, if you are an LGBT rights campaigner, good luck with this.

In a wild mood? A no-holds-barred Lena Dunham is enough to spoil you.

Mindy Kaling, the Indian American comedian-actress, stands for an awesome sense of humour.

Oprah Winfrey. Need we say more? She can be used for any occasion—from being the agony aunt to the symbol of power.

And Ellen DeGeneres is here to replace the smiley sign.

Feminist icon Gloria Steinam to give all the boys out there a tough competition

Kudos to Makers! A larger representation of women in the emoji alphabets is the need of the hour. But, we wonder, when are we going to have our desi femojis?
