Feminism now not happy at women being sexually liberated

Come back feminism, all is forgiven? After years of slagging off the F-word, social commentators have woken up to the fact that teenage girls are adopting usernames such as “slut” and “*****” on social networking websites. They're boasting about being good at sex acts, putting themselves at risk from predatory older men and paedophiles, and one expert is suggesting - hold your breath - that feminism should be taught in schools: a “reinvigorated” feminism that is designed to appeal to young women who have never heard of The Female Eunuch but need something to counter the relentlessly sexual messages of popular culture.

Schoolgirls, she says, increasingly link their personal worth to being sexually attractive. She is calling for young women to be offered alternative role models to the ubiquitous celebrities - such as Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Christina Aguilera - who embody the must-have look for young women in the 21st century.

We need feminism more than ever, not just to address all the myths that have grown up - we're still a long way from living in an equal society, despite girls' much-vaunted success over boys in exams - but to counter the pervasive influence of the commercial sex industry on young women. The stage costumes of female stars, from Kylie Minogue to Aguilera and Spears are an obvious example.

Schoolgirls who choose usernames like “freesex” in chatrooms need to realise that they have been conned into thinking that such behaviour is harmless. They have also been bombarded with messages that pole-dancing is good, clean fun, encouraged by female celebrities who show off about visiting clubs with their boyfriends. I mean, why not pay your way through college by pole-dancing in the evenings? No one tells teenage girls about the rise in sex crimes in neighbourhoods where pole-dancing clubs operate, or the pressures on young women who work in them to have sex with customers.

Um, I thought one of the core goals of feminism was to 'sexually liberate' women. To give them the power to be as sexual as their nature wants them to be. To be able to have casual sex with whoever they want and to not be made feel guilty about it. To be a 'slut' or a '*****', if you will. After all, men could do it, so why not women?

And, as a guy who likes to have options and sex without commitment, this is a good thing.

But now, some feminists are beginning to change their minds. They no longer like women being sexually liberated. They no longer seem to agree with women having the right to use their sexuality and their bodies to make money (they complain about lap dancing and strip clubs, as well as porn).

The problem for feminists is that these celebrities are enjoying the power that feminists told them they could have. These girls are promiscuous, pole dance or whatever because they choose to - a choice which feminism originally gave them. If you empower people with the right of choice you can't complain about how they use it.

Further proof that feminism was never to liberate women or give them the choice, but to make them do the things that traditionally only men did.

Who was it that said something along the lines of, "A woman shouldn't have the choice to stay at home and raise a family. For if she does, she will choose it, and that must not happen"? Someone needs to say to these girls who are using their human right to call themselves a slut, lap dance and strip for money (rights which feminism hates): "You go girl!"

Dude haven't you learned anything from this site? Women do not know what they want.

So the fourth wave of feminism is to "get them while they're young", eh?
