Can't a woman enjoy her sexuality without being called a whore?

43. I don't know

But at the point where somebody tries to persuade me that our latest generic pop culture installment is actually deeply politically significant and somehow liberating to women, I just have to give up.

And no, I'm not a prude. But I find mainstream culture, especially mainstream pop, especially mainstream pop performances, extremely generic, redundant and uninteresting. And of course they are: They are designed to be, since they have to pander to all tastes.

I'm always amazed at how people expect the halftime show to be great - as if I had any reason to expect that the one common denominator on which corporate america can agree on to carry the message would appeal to me.

Edit.

And yeah.. somehow.. this always implies.. that in the end.. feminism and the sexual revolution was all about exactly how naked a female performer may get during super bowl half-time shows. That's just wrong. If this was what the sexual revolution was all about - they can have it back, as far as I'm concerned.

What goes on in half time shows is more of a consequence of the lame minds that decide upon the contents of our corporate entertainment programs than it is a consequence of the sexual revolution. "Sex sells" is about the only substantial addition that the PR industry has come up with since the days of Edward Bernays.
