i'm so sick of the 1999 spice girls mentality where "girl power" is the idea that you can sleep around and dress like a prostitute. "feminism" is displaying your feminity to be objectified and enjoyed by strangers all over ( Read more... )

Not condescending at all! An exchange of ideas is always welcomed.

I suppose I just have trouble understanding people who mistreat themselves in order to get something better out of it. This was coming out of watching a friend of mine... lose sight of herself, I suppose. I just wonder where these ideas came from, and why this happens... and I get angry.

I enjoyed your comment that "wasn't worded very well." =) I guess I really never thought of it in that way, because the women I have always associated with this type of behavior have been doing so in order to get a type of attention for it that I don't understand. If someone's appearance is constructed for their own enjoyment, I'm all for it. Its pleasing other people that I don't understand.

The nudity/honesty comment was a bit tongue in cheek I suppose. The misuse of these things have made them so rare in their true forms. Can both nudity and honesty be beautiful and refreshing and enlightening? Yes. I truly believe so. I just wish it happened more often. Although, I must say, I've been lucky enough to experience both as they should be, and afterwards, I just can't see how anyone could trade those in for the manufactured naked and true that seems so rampant.
