What hath feminism
wrought?
Satisfactory?
Satisfactory?
PUNK CONNECTIONS. While we're out of town, we're giving you an opportunity to meditate on this first ever 360-degree tour of Britney Spears giving birth. It's provocative enough to raise all kinds of questions about the culture it's meant to communicate with. Who, for example, wouldn't feel a little bit of wonderment or confusion about how Britney's blatant sexuality fits into the feminist orthodoxy. Is it awful because it seems somewhat less than man-hating? Or is it okay because it flaunts the most indisputable capability women have that men don't? You pick it. This isn't the first time we've been puzzled about the context and consequences of contemporary feminism. Here's part of the Instapunk record on this topic:
Unmanliness.
Boola Boola.
Vietnam Psychosis.
The New Sex Appeal.
Miscellaneous Madness.
The Hillary Wing.
Anniversary.
See you first thing Monday morning with more.
