Current ads for Svedka Vodka feature a fembot made of steel, sporting a curvy backside and a come-hither posture. "The future of adult entertainment," reads the tag line.
There's something deeply disturbing about these ads. It's not the animatron with the blank, moldable expression; she's merely a video-game version of the inflatable sex dolls guys get at stag parties. What's so unsettling is that the tag line could very well be right.
Thirty-odd years ago, women across the United States burned their bras and carried picket signs advocating free love and the Equal Rights Amendment. Today, many of that generation's granddaughters are getting breast implants and Brazilian waxes, and their idea of sexual freedom is flashing and making out with each other for free in "Girls Gone Wild" videos.
When Erica Jong and Nancy Friday exhorted 1970s women to throw off Victorian mores like so many petticoats and pursue their own guilt-free sexual pleasure, they probably couldn't have envisioned that porn-star biographies would become best-sellers, or that teen girls would be taking pole-dance aerobics classes.
From hip-hop culture, where the boys drape themselves in long sleeves and baggy pants while the girls wear the equivalent of sequined Post-it notes, to the retro chic of Playboy and the proliferation of lad mags such as Maxim and Stuff, nearly every subcategory of post-feminist pop culture has seemed to work against the de-Bunnyization of women. When protests arise, young eyes glaze over; the naysayers are sooo uptight and out of touch.

If you have a repressive society like ours right now, we can all manage to turn our attention to gay marriage. If you have a country this panicked about that, you can't say we're libertine hedonists."

As soon as I posted this thread I knew that this response was inevitable.
All this is a direct result of liberalism in the 60's. In the article she blames it on red state conservatives. These people kill me.
Personally, if girls are going to go "retro chic Playboy", is it too much to ask they keep the early '70s "fun zone Afros" ? This bald Barbie schtick creeps me out, man ! =8-0
Like he's gonna give that up...
Geez, it always comes back to money or shiny stuff in a small loop or on a chain.
Women are scum now too...ENJOY
Typical! The Dimbo culture leaders are blaming
Republcans because the "feminist Movement" and
HollyPuke have raisded their daughters up to be
cheap ass sluts, whose self worth is based on
how *many* Dim thugpunk "Bad Boys", want to screw
them like $5 whores...It "our" (Republican)
"repressive culture", (Teah .riiiiight!) that's
turning their daughters into commoditzed disposable
sextoys....
This gal made her living walking dogs.
Well many of us in the South did for years. The beginning of the end was when the pill showed up in the 60's and the end came when my wife thought the Lorana Bobbett crap was so funny!
the "feminists" exposed themselves as being nothing but abject political whores when they supported Clinton during Lewinskygate. A few years prior they were calling dipping into the intern pool 'corporate rape.'
Many also celebrated Monica's servicing of Bill's nub as 'empowerment.' They should be celebrating 'girls gone wild' as the same thing.
I miss mine too, especially at this time of year.
Ok which would you rather look at ?

This author is an idiot and lacks the ability to think logically. Ms Rodham, the high priestess of the feminists, the blue states, and the MSM, piggy back herself to a highly ambitious hedonist who has screwed more women than one could imagine. The apple shining that the media gives her for her sham marriage and her calculated silence to protect this political power union, better illustrates the convoluted thinking of these young women then conservatives and the red states.
Thanks. Now I have a Gil Elvgren fetish.
