Practicalmadness

Slate has a couple of nice feminism-related pieces this morning. There’s an analysis of Spin Sisters, a new quasi-conservative exposè of the women’s magazine industry and “How the Women of the Media Sell Unhappiness and Liberalism to the Women of America.” And there’s also Dispatches from Girls Gone Wild, in which Ariel Levy follows a GGW camera crew as postmodern bimbos (who just might be grad students in disguise) flash the camera and make out for trucker hats.

I point out these links not only because they’re thoughtful, well-written pieces about contemporary feminism, but also because they tend to support my creeping suspicion that the terrorists have already won.
