Ariel Levy:

Female chauvinist pigs

Women and the rise of Raunch Culture

----

If the male chauvinist pigs of years past thought of women as vacous sex objects, the the female chauvinist pigs of today are going one better – embracing raunch culture all by themself. This is a world in which young women attend lap-dancing clubs – as patrons – simulate sex on shows like Girls gone wild and adopt the Playboy bunny logo as a symbol of liberation. They see these post-feminist antics as a shortcut to cool.

Ariel Levy writes that this is far from progress. Her timely polemic explores the myth of this new brand of empowerment and refuses a culture-wide obligation for young women to look and act like porn stars. Her witty and intelligent book makes the case that the rise of raunch culture does not represent how far women have come – it proves only how far they have left to go.
