I guess if a woman wants to dress in attire which would be labled as “hooker-ish”, “whore-ish”, or “hoochie-ish” by society then that’s her right as a grown ba-hind person. But she must be able to take all the leering, assumptions, come ons and negative comments made at her and to her.

Jesus. We’re all making the same point. Nobody said anything about rape. (So the answer would be, *childlike, hands folded, head bowed meekly* “No, ma’am, we don’t want to go there.” *head pat* “There’s a good blogger. Run along now!”) Should you be allowed to shake your ass anywhere you want without fear of assault? Absolutely. Should you be surprised, after shaking it, if someone expresses sexual interest? No. All I’m trying to say.

Now that I’ve seen the full song lyrics, which read like a pseudo-feminist screed for the lucite-heeled illiterati, I don’t know why I’m even bothering to argue about it. Ugh.

I’m with Divine on this one. But I think what bugs me (and I’ve ranted about this before) is how it seems like a woman can’t be more than one thing — either you’re the stripper or you’re the prim schoolmarm. Right now it’s the overly sexualized thing, which bugs me because of the overall impression that people get.

Now, it seems that for women to feel cool, you have to pole dance, walk around in three inch heels and be an overly-sexualized fantasy. I know that’s not true, but I wonder about younger women and teenage girls.

So TOTALLY feeling you on the power that VH1 has to draw us in - against our own wills! I have watched various parts of that 80’s countdown all week - love it! There is probably nothing that I can say about Flava-Flav and that show that hasn’t already been said. So I won’t even try. Have a great weekend!

Ummm . . . I myself take great interest in pole dancing, writhing around and shaking my ass in general and it is in no way an invitation to touch me or penetrate my pussycat, so to speak. Granted, if you’re going to look and act like a tart, don’t be surprised if you get tart-like reactions from people. Energy sent, energy returned and all that . . . but this could quickly decline into one of those discussions about when women dress “sexy” they’re inviting rape. And we don’t want to go there, now do we?
