I feel like a rant (again) I know it's all I do but I really feel this issue NEEDS to be addressed. Since when is it cool to pose naked in pictures at the tender age of 17 and exclaim you are a 'model'? Further more, what is with the mass amount of 'alternative models' that have popped up on the internet? HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU A MODEL? URGH. And I really doubt you have that figure and eat 20 big macs a week, douchebag.
I just find it super concerning that the vast majority of young women are suddenly deciding to become alternative models (*cough* glamour models) and find it perfectly fine for this to be their life time wish.
I mean for one, the 'alternative' lifestyle used to be one that addressed issues such as racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. and these days it seems to just reinstate these issues rather than tackeling them. In the late 70's it was shocking and subversive to wear pants that showed your naked butt and burn your bra. These days these things seem to reinstate sexism and further solidify such issues into modern daily life.
JUST BECAUSE A NAKED GIRL HAS TATTOOS DOES NOT MAKE HER FEMINIST.
Jesus.
Female friendly pornography is not photographed by men for men and does not patronise female models into thinking they are somehow doing something for the greater good of womankind by taking their panties off. Suicide girls is not female friendly, or post feminist. It is just another mainstream pornographic company run by 'the man'. How can that be 'punk rock' how can that be 'feminist' how the fuck is that ALTERNATIVE?
Get a clue.
Rant over.
:)
P.S. There is, granted, a fine line between embracing your feminine sexuality and capitolising on it and just becoming another sheep in the slaughter house...What ever happened to wonder woman being a role model? I mean she oozes sex appeal but kicks ass at the same time. We need a revolution, we need another Buffy.
