Hey, all you guys need to lighten up a little!
I found this article to be quite light-weight in content, and perhaps a little tongue-in-cheek?

I think that some women embracing the Playboy dress-ups does not really say anything about feminism! It simply means that some women think the playboy bunny look is cute, and they want to dress up to look cute too.

It is a well known fact that most women dress to please or show off to other women, more so than for men.

The Hen's night is simply a celebration of a woman's last night as a single woman -out on the town.
Just the same as men at a Buck's night.

Partimeparent < "What is curious is the absence of bucks nights now."

No dear, there are still plenty of Buck's nights happening out there...it is just that no one is telling YOU about them!

Can you blame them with your' bitter attitude towards women and marriage?

For nigh on forty years Gloria Steinem has managed to live off her three weeks experience as a Playboy bunny. Her discovery of Playboy bunnies (Oh, the horror!) has put bread on the tables of scores of feminist authors and academics (although Gloria was not so keen on feminist academics).

Hefner has been the subject of thousands of furious, indignant rants, including some on OLO no doubt.

Peter Hume got it in one and yes, we should all be having an grin at how things can turn a full circle in life, no harm in that. What do young women care about the hatreds and baggage of geriatric feminists in shoulder pads anyhow?

We are unique,
Probably the epitome of the fully sexually liberated feminist would be Greer.

She has made a lot of money from her career in feminism, and she now has THREE houses in THREE different countries.

Unfortunately she lives alone in her THREE houses, having dispensed with all her children in abortion clinics when she was younger, and I don’t think any self-respecting male would want to live with her.

Greer should be kept in mind should someone be thinking of pursing a career in feminism. It could be rather lonely being a fully sexually liberated feminist.

"What do young women care about the hatreds and baggage of geriatric feminists in shoulder pads anyhow?" I agree. Young women have enough hang-ups and hatred of their own. Try criticising them about their sex life and see what I mean.

I think that we are agreed that it was probably for the best that Germaine didn't reproduce.

Just goes to show that the basic tenets of feminism are a nonsense.

Many women want to be sexually objectified.

The feminists made men stop doing it, now women have to pick up the slack and objectify themselves. Pathetic really.

But by god it's funny.

<kylev> some girl just came onto our floor
<kylev> and was yelling "sexual favors for anyone who does my sociology paper"
<kylev> i just asked her what the paper was about
<kylev> and she said the accomplishments and growth of feminism
<`Neo> bahahahaha

Bucks nights and Hens nights are creepy.

I could see their relevance when people generally were married by 22, and people didn't sleep around so much before marriage and porn wasn't everywhere. But these days, come'on.

A 30-odd yo guy or girl going out on the town (wow, like (s)he has every weekend for the last 20 years), going to a strip show (As if (s)he hasn't slept with 30+ women, seen all sorts of porn and strip shows before)? I mean, it's like a 35 yo man or woman in a teen movie like American Pie.

These nights, if done in the traditional way, are as cringe worthy as anything Ricky Gervais can come up with.

Passe!

Although, I remember it was an easy way to score when I was younger. Just hang around a large bunch of drunk chicks trying to out-do each other in outrageous behaviour, and all just a little bit sad they're not the ones getting married. Easier pick up than weddings.
