You think you’re being brave, you think you’re being sexy, you think you’re transcending feminism. But that’s bullshit. – Susan Brownmiller

Why is this the “new feminism” and not what it looks like: the old objectification?

A tawdry, cartoonlike version of female sexuality has become so ubiquitous, it no longer seems particular. What we once regarded as a *kind* of sexual expression we now regard *as* sexuality.

Even if you are a woman who achieves the ultimate and becomes like a man, you will still always be like a woman. And as long as womanhood is thought of as something to escape...

…if you are the exception that proves the rule, and the rule is that woman are inferior, you haven’t made any progress.
