Today's ultimate feminists are the chicks in crop tops
True feminism should celebrate femininity, and make you feel wonderful to be born a woman.
The things that make me glad to be a woman have nothing to do with showing clevage...and I am sure the feminist leaders weren't thinking, we will disrupt our lives and put ourselves forward so that we can all wear belly shirts with mudflap girls on them proudly.
I hesitated to say much about this as I am hardly a women's studies scholar, but what the heck does dressing a certain way have to do with being a feminist? Am I less a feminist because I keep my boobs covered?
And I was just talking to some of the younger women at my college, they were going over some pictures of them kissing and such at a party, I said "oh I had no idea that you two were involved , how nice". They let me know they are not involved and they were sexually exploring each other "cause there were hot guys at the party"...what is feminist and empowering about that???
Flame me if you want, but I dont find being a person who exploits their sexuality for money empowering, it seems to me ( though correct me if I am wrong) a lot of the people doing so , do it because they have no marketable job skills otherwise.
