Sexist vs Animal rights

So who really cares about we get up to during the day.
Lately after performing on SA's Got Talent a few people seem to. I've been stopped in shopping centers, Pick 'n Pay's and petrol stations. I'm now referred to as the "magic girl", "Mystique" or "Where did she go?"
Funny enough the magic community's response to this has been some what surprising. There has been many congratulations, well done's and smiles but a few to many frowns. Some say being a magician's assistant is sexist, patronizing to women. Magician's use women to pretend their magic is real, woman are just objects to be disappeared, cut in half and levitated. Now I of all people now that things are sometimes said in the wrong context purely out of the miss understanding of once own emotions. Seriously... being an assistant is being seen as an object???? So using a bunny rabbit in a show is against all animal rights and using woman is sexist. So, I ask you what is left. If nothing real can be used to illustrate the art of magic how could magic possibly exist. maybe it doesn't even exist to start with. Who would know. All I can do is but ask that community of people who believe magicians are sexist and cruel to animals. Please you stand up and show me magic is real.
