the new face of feminism

in honor of this being the first state o' union address in which a lady will be seated in the power position behind the president (oh, if only there were a lady delivering the address--soon!) i thought i would share this brilliant insight from a WaPo article about the pussycat dolls. so, apparently the cw network is having a tv show in which desperate famewhores can audition to become the next member of the pussycat dolls, a burlesque act that also produces half-assed pop music. the creator of the group and the show got a press conference to defend the show as not mere titilation (no pun intended, ahem) but as actually inspirational for women. McG (his actual non de plume!) defended it as follows:

"Women celebrating one another being beautiful and, frankly, being appreciated by me, has been around for a long time. Under no circumstances is it shameful. And there's even a position to take [that] this is, frankly, third-wave feminism."

wow, i've had feminism all wrong all this time! i was unaware feminists were now advocating fulfilling the fantasies of 13-year old boys as liberation. i hope nancy pelosi dresses appropriately for her big night!
