IS RADICAL FEMINISM One Part Of A BIGGER Problem?

Question

Ladies and gentlemen, your inputs please:

I've noticed that the NBA's cheerleaders are wearing lesser and lesser clothes and looking and acting more and more like prostitutes. The company executives sitting in the board-rooms obviously have no compunctions about this.

Apart from this being worrisome because children comes to basketball games, I thought it's interesting. Why? Because while feminism has become perverted and is no longer anything like its founders envisioned, here we have perversion of another sort: The turning of sports into circuses and cabarets filled with half-naked women - ironically, the opposite of what feminism wants.

Answer 1

Radical feminism is more about equality of opportunity than about fashion.

I do agree with your general dislike that childhood is becoming increasingly sexualized.  I think that is just horrible, but I think media companies are probably more to blame.

Answer 2

Even trying to draw a comparison to this problem and feminism is ridiculous. The way models on TV shove an image of a starved and ditsy blond in our young girls' faces and paint her as "the ideal woman" goes completely against the ideas of feminism. I see that our society is reverting back to a time before feminism, a movement which has always gotten a bad wrap. I, personally, have met very few people, man or woman, who understand what real feminism is. They just see feminists as "man haters." Granted, there are a few of those, but the rest of us shouldn't be painted in that negative light. I know what argument you're trying to get across, but please don't blame it on feminism. There is no relation.

A roast with the bone in will cook faster than a boneless roast -

    the bone carries the heat to the inside of the roast quicker.

Answer 4

Feminism is about empowering women to do what that want. That includes taking whatever job they want and wearing whatever clothes they want. It's not about slapping burkas on them so that the evil men folk can't view their naked skin.

Answer 5

Your question doesn't make sense.  What's the Bigger Problem that radical feminism is a part of?  What does the attire of NBA cheerleaders have to do with that bigger problem?
