Pornification of American Women
- The Pornification of American Women. Read a hard-hitting, though unfocused, piece this evening suggesting that our society is pressuring women to pornize themselves. Is the porn industry now main stream? Why celebrate fake boobs and the plastic surgeons who implant them? Why is Howard Stern's display of women degrading themselves amusing or acceptable? Why is Pamela Anderson (a creation of plastic surgery and presented as slut incarnate) worshipped? The glorification of pimps in the rap industry? "In effect, the logic of the raunch culture is eerily similar to that Christian ideal of femininity, the Surrendered Wife [versus the barbie doll captive slut, two sides of the same coin]. Both preach empowerment through acquiescence, promising greater happiness through the fulfillment of archetypal female roles." Link. 10-31-2005. Add Comment Permalink
