- official! It seems her virgincum-whore promotions, her suspenders, chains, video with lesbian overtones and simulated masturbation on stage are'sexually assertive'?
Funny...I've always thought being a feminist involved celebrating your sexuality on vour own terms - not pandering wholesale to the fantasies of 'epressed males Madonna may be a versatile performer who isn't afraid to camp it up'. But she is also a prime example of how the ideas cynically co-opted, distorted, commercially packaged and fed back to us by a sexist, moneygrabbing entertainment industry. If, as your article suggests, millions of young women wanna be like her, it shows how much work socialist feminists still have to do.
There's nothing liberated or liberating about being 'sexually on men's terms. Don't be hoodwinked sisters. Kollontai wouldn't have been.
