Katy Perry transforms herself into a U.S. Marine in her latest power-pop single, "Part of Me," which addresses female empowerment and pays particular tribute to service women.
However, at least one media type doesn't support Perry's Marines shout-out.
Prominent feminist Naomi Wolf, author of "The Beauty Myth" and one of many who were arrested amid the Occupy Wall Street protests last year, is urging Americans to boycott the singer, labeling her video "a total piece of propaganda for the Marines."
"I really want to find out if she was paid by them for making it," Wolf wrote on her Facebook page. "It is truly shameful... I would suggest a boycott of this singer whom I really liked - if you are as offended as this glorification of violence as I am."

Naomi Wolf once again tried to say something she thought was important. That’s just so precious. And somebody wrote it down; that is special.
hear there are more in Hollywood these days as well.
Charlton Heston said that there are more conservatives in the closet working in Hollyweird than there are homosexuals.
Wacko fem-nazis, like Wolf, live in their own self-imposed bubbles. I doubt three percent of the population knows who she is. Another arrogant leftist who thinks they’re more important than they really are.
Naomi Wolf is a lunatic.
Let’s see, as a Marine who do I want on my side...... Katy Perry or Naomi Wolfe.....
Once again proving Rush’s point. Feminism is for ugly women to have access to the mainstream.
Cutie Katy morphing into a Marine? Can’t buy that one!
"I'd buy THAT for a dollar!"
I hope she wasn't paid to make that ... It's better coming from the heart than from the bank account.
Naomi is the woman who admitted to being raised a Marxist in leftist San Francisco in 2006. She then did a documentary and book about the coming fascist state under Republicans. She a mix of a left wing Ann Coulter with Alex Jones and Randi Rhodes. She’s pretty much the lefts answer to Glenn Beck.
In the early 1990s, Naomi Wolf garnered international fame as a spokesperson of third-wave feminism. As a result of the success of her first book The Beauty Myth, which became an international bestseller. Gloria Steinem wrote, "The Beauty Myth is a smart, angry, insightful book, and a clarion call to freedom. Every woman should read it."
In The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, Wolf takes a historical look at the rise of fascism, outlining the 10 steps necessary for a fascist group (or government) to destroy the democratic character of a nation-state and subvert the social/political liberty previously exercised by its citizens. The book details how this pattern was implemented in Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and elsewhere, and analyzes its emergence and application in American political affairs since the September 11 attacks.
The End of America was adapted for the screen as a documentary by filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern, best known for The Devil Came on Horseback and The Trials of Darryl Hunt. It had its worldwide premiere at the Hamptons International Film Festival on October 17, 2008.
Wolf considers herself a liberal marxist feminist. On October 20, 2011 Wolf was arrested in New York during the Occupy Wall Street protests. She was held in custody for an hour. A month later, Naomi Wolf wrote an article that claimed that attacks on the Occupy movement were a coordinated plot, orchestrated by federal law enforcement agencies and implemented by American mayors.
Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries was written as a sequel to The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot. In the book, Wolf looks at times and places in history where citizens were faced with the closing of an open society and successfully fought back, and looks back at the ordinary people of the Founding Fathers of the United States' generation the ones not named by history, all of whom had this "vision of liberty" and moved it forward by putting their lives on the line to make the vision real. She is an outspoken advocate for citizenship and wonders whether younger Americans have the skills and commitment to act as true citizens.
Her next book, Vagina: A Cultural History, will be released in 2012.
