here's the highlights:

Klein said that clothes-shopping, once considered a mundane act with few sociopolitical implications, is now a bold feminist statement. - hell yeah, whenever i want a new hat or socks, i'm like, "fuck yeah, i'm sticking to the man!"

"Don't tell this bitch what to do," said Kari Eastley, 24, a participant in the Oberlin study and, according to one of her T-shirts, a "Slut Goddess." "I wear what I want when I want, and no man is going to tell me otherwise. -- lol, reminds me of cartman's, "i'll do what i want!"

taking calcium-rich antacid tablets -- wait...what? eating tums is a feminist thing? whaaaat?

"Of course, women can be empowered by losing weight, too," Willets added. "Pretty much any change in weight-up or down-is empowering." -- of course, goes back to the weight...

Perhaps most remarkably, the mere act of weight gain is now regarded as a feminist act. Though some women express reservations about the negative impact of obesity on one's health, overweight women display a level of assertiveness, or "sassitude," that thinner women lack. --- ah, this is why stacey eats so much ;)
