There are things I liked about this book and things I did not like.Overall, it was a quick and easy read. The reason for this is that the majority of the text is comprised of cultural/media examples and ancecdotes/interviews of female chauvinist pigs. While these were interesting, they showed limite...
Female Chauvinist Pigs is an interesting read but unfortunately a bit dated. Although it was published in the middle of the last decade, it felt a bit old, especially when specific individuals were mentioned to support issues of FCP. However, many of the elements/issues it contained are simply commo...
This doesn't offer any answers, just questions and the questions are pretty disturbing. This book was read while a man justifies a t-shirt that says "no+rhyphonol=yes" with a "not intended for ugly feminists"; where a book for children depicts a tomboy princess realising that dressing up is the way...
Did you know Barbie dolls were modelled after blonde German sex dolls called Bild Lilli? Disturbing to know I played with a sex doll as a child. o_OChapter One: Raunch CulturePublished in 2006 one would assume Female Chauvinist Pigs would be fairly up-to-date, but it becomes obvious quite quickly th...
She was fantastic on the Colbert Report (it was years ago that she was on, though), and the premise is intriguing.
2.5Mostly things I already knew. It's not badly written; it's just rather surface deep, if you know what I mean.Some of the interviews are rather interesting.
I'm really not interested in a book that wants to blame individual young women for the predatory tactics of the Girls Gone Wild franchise. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the popularity of stripper pole dancing isn't based on sex-positive feminism, although no doubt individual women defen...
Definitely a must read for any feminist, young or old. The structure sort of comes undone in the final 50 pages or so but the book's a refreshing and often merciless expose of the rise of raunch culture, where Playboy bunnies, porn stars and pole dancing classes are seen as signs of a post-feminist ...
I am half-way through this book and for the most part, whole-heartedly agree with the author's stance. The only reason this book did not get 5 stars is the typical conservative bashing which is ever-present, in the leftist, feminist garbage. For a topic this important in which we see young women "se...
Overall this was an easy and fast read, with some of valid points. However, I read this a few years after it first came out and the main premise of this book seems very obvious to me, especially now that many of her examples (Girls Gone Wild, stripper culture) are so widespread in popular culture (G...
