The new age of feminism
Well i won’t keep you too long but i’d like to touch base on something i read on the train journey home. While the MX is not a reputable newspaper and is probably only heard of within australia’s walls it steal’s all of it’s information from other news sources…like any paper really.
Anyhow the article was about the new era of what they reffered to as ‘feminists’. Apparently this new generation was characterized by such stars as Paris Hilton and Pink, well that was my first shock persoally i’ve never seen Paris Hilton as a role model yet alone poster girl for the new era of women infact i find her utterly repulsive with her ditzy blonde attitude and her stupid spending spree’s on glittery junk. To say that women in this day and age are becoming more a-kin to this woman really destroys my hope for the future of this world.
This article then went onto say that almost 80% of the women surveyed would pose semi nude/nude for a mens magazine and that women no longer want to work hard for their dollars and would much prefer to make easy money using their sexual attributes if need be. Oh and after this it went on further to say that women posing nude and flashing their bits around are no longer looked down upon by society and are more embraced.
So basicly it’s okay to dress like a slut and even become a slut in the hope of easy money and a life filled with men being your proverbial sugar daddy while you bare your birthday suit to the world..and somehow this related to ‘feminism’. I thought women wanted to have equal rights and there be no line t drawn between what either sex can achieve within society and now after reading this article women admit to flaunting their sexuality to get their own way and that they dont care if the men re-assume the role of the bread winner…
So who’s to blame for women taking yet another step back in the fight to equality, the media or the people behind the stories? Well to be honest i can’t really give you an exact answer to that question but by my judgement i’d say both. The media forces down our throat’s the lives of these rich girls who live out of daddy’s pocket but in turn these women decide to lap up everything the media throws at them and all the while knowing that young girls look upto them they still continue their blonde antics. Maybe we should blame the parents for exposing their children to the media? or maybe we should just instate a law that makes it manditory for people to take IQ tests before becoming considered a catalyst for a social attitudinal revolution.
Personally i’ll stick with the later.
