Female Chauvinist Pigs! Stop That Right Now!

There go those 21st century women again.

Having fun. Having sex!

Able to objectify a man as easily as he might her.

Poor old western civilization is in the ropes once again, soon it'll be on the mat and the referee will be counting ten.

I'm as romantic as they come without being terminal. But if you don't want that kind of romance no reason for you to cling to cultural shibboleths and worry about it. Even if you do and your libido gives you a tug why don't enjoy some 'raunch culuture?'

From a review of Female Chauvinist Pigs : Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture.

She writes only about people and incidents that illustrate her theory; she doesn't discuss a single pop star or public figure who has escaped the reductive dichotomy of female behavior she describes. Madonna, for example, is mentioned only in passing - a damaging omission, given that she mesmerized a generation of young women by combining girly female sexiness with unmistakable sexual and real-world power. In writing about teenagers, Levy describes an alarming world in which young girls routinely lap dance for boys at school dances, perform oral sex on them without reciprocation and make out with each other in front of them, all for the ego boost of male excitement and the notoriety that follows. Levy says she spoke with 50 young people between the ages of 12 and 18, some of whom she quotes, but she doesn't explain how she arrived at this sample or how representative it is of American culture as a whole.
