Would love to read your blog and always happy to have my mind changed on things: would be interested in your thoughts on my friend losing her part time livelihood as a pole dancer because age works in a prison.lightupvirginmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371404648770257776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623527747238657704.post-27918752031737499022010-03-27T23:00:11.904+00:002010-03-27T23:00:11.904+00:00Sorry, deleted the last attempt but this is the sa...Sorry, deleted the last attempt but this is the same minus some glitches.<br /><br />I'll write a blog about feminism from my angle and call your attention to it - that's got to be more efficient than playing ping-pong in the comments box.<br /><br />What provoked me was the inconsistency. Humour and panache by the bucketload, but no two versions of your opinion the same!<br /><br />To single out one example, in the first blog (Libbers) you divide the ads on the tube into sexist and non: "The sexist ones were mainly cartoons of blonde women in heels, shopping. These images permeate society. It's no wonder so many women haven't got a clue how to position themselves in society." Good point!<br /><br />But then in 'Activists' you look at your younger self with your Playboy pencil case: "It didn't 'programme me to accept degradation and pornography in later life'- it just kept my pencils in check." So it didn't permeate your teenage conciousness and suggest ideas to you about what it meant to be female?<br /><br />"It's just a logo, a picture. It can't hurt us unless we let it." No! That's so not the way advertising works. If you're a hyper-aware feminist filled with rage than you're defences are up. But what if that awakening is yet to happen in your life? What on earth (if it's not activists working hard to get things changed) protects you from the torrent of sexist rubbish?rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102833794400360527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623527747238657704.post-7462924475778179312010-03-27T22:54:52.164+00:002010-03-27T22:54:52.164+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102833794400360527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623527747238657704.post-31780006870401390852010-03-26T12:30:55.464+00:002010-03-26T12:30:55.464+00:00well if you tell em what you disagree with, we can...well if you tell em what you disagree with, we can have a debate...lightupvirginmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371404648770257776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623527747238657704.post-65801339429440359962010-03-25T23:57:39.862+00:002010-03-25T23:57:39.862+00:00Couldn't disagree with you more on any number ...Couldn't disagree with you more on any number of points, but great to feel so provoked - by your blog and the prog.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102833794400360527noreply@blogger.com
