On Sexting and ShameMonday, December 22, 2008 at 2:28 pm — M.A. Liginter
If you would be so kind as to take a listen to this video clip from CNN you will hear a male anchor ask: Is there no Shame anymore with a lot of our young girls? What the CNN anchor is referring to is the fact that some high-school girls sent nude pictures of themselves via cell phone to their boyfriends. Now, I wonder where young women get the idea that they are so much more than the sum of their parts. That their brains and professional ambitions are what we value women for in our society. Here is a link to a doctored picture of Gov. Sarah Palin by Salon.com ; she's undressed, holding a whip and getting licked by a moose: To accompany this visual of Palin….Some sweeeeet words from the Woman Reducer Gary Kamiya who wrote the porno-like text that accompanied the Palin on Moose picture:
Last week, while channel surfing on prime time, I came across a nifty show called Man Answers. The producers had both kinds of women--those with real and fake boobs (both equally exposed, with the requisite nipple covering, of course)—jumping in a swimming pool to see if those boobs would float. Then I caught an episode of Desperate Housewives, and lost count of the number of times Bitch, Whore and Slut were uttered. Now this could go on and on. But I will stop here, b/c as I write this I feel such revulsion for the ADULT CNN anchor who asked if young women have no shame that I actually feel ill. This idiot has the stupidity to wonder why teen girls have no Shame when the culture we live in is all about shaming women. I leave you with this nice Carville has just told us that he feels fully entitled to Grab Ass of any woman he wants, her consent is not necessary—he can promise us that! Shame? Where oh were do young girls get the idea that they are worth more than the sum of their parts? Update: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2009/01/15/pn.sexting.teens.cnn |

James Carville should be held
James Carville should be held accountable. Perhaps some of the fathers of the gals could show him some action.
It never ceases to amaze how
It never ceases to amaze how the media is supposedly an insight giving medium, but is deaf, dumb and blind to sexism. One would think they would fear looking so silly that they'd be forced to deal openly with their women problems. But that is like asking a racist to admit they are morally flawed.
I gain hope with each post I read on this site! Keep it up! Drill them baby, Drill them!
