Celebrity Big Brother & Post-feminist Women?

Question

I'd like non-Britons to comment on this, too, so let me give a very brief outline, in case you're one of the few people who are lucky enough to have never heard of CBB. It involved a few B-list celebrities, who agreed to spend a few weeks in a house, live on camera. The latest series was generally perceived as boring, except for a dislike that three British, female contestants had for an Indian contestant (a Bollywood star, Shilpa), which led to allegations of bullying and racism.

The Bollywood star is an example of how women used to be in the West: old-fashioned, unreconstructed, feminine, flirtatious, coy about sex, classy, etc.

The three bullies, on the other hand are post-feminist, sexually liberated, careerist, with a conspicuous lack of subtlety or tact.

What I'd like to ask is, is the typical, post-feminist woman a disappointment?

(Unfair to use the two examples above only, as Shilpa is better than average for an old-fashioned gal; and the terrible trio are worse than avg.

Answer 1

I can't speak for anyone else, I just know how I am.
I consider myself a feminist, but I still appreciate being called beautiful, getting flowers, having doors held open for me, etc.
I believe in equality in the work place and not being made to feel guilty because I no longer consider myself to be my husbands "slave."
But, I think so many women today take it too far. I, for one, do not put down any other woman who chooses to be feminine. Nor do I feel it is my place to judge and gossip about others. And to bully a woman into changing to be more like me, well, I would not do that anymore than I would bully someone into believing in the same religion as me.
Since I am American and do not see British television, except older sit-coms on PBS, I don't know exactly what you are talking about.
But, I think there are many feminist women like me, who didn't "throw the baby out with the bath water." We still like to be treated like a lady.

Answer 2

properly, there are growers and showers. If he became thoroughly delicate and 5 inches, he's a bath, you could be a grower. yet enable's say you bypass to 6 inches erect, you observe so a lot more desirable boom, hence the call grower. He on the underhand would only bypass to the same 6 inch length, which ability his flaccid state is quite a lot a tutor it received't bypass a lot more desirable. Then there is the actual incontrovertible actuality that each and anyone has a diverse length penis, some are small, some are large, some are tremendous small (micro penis) and some are huge. Plus you under no circumstances recognize, you should only be somewhat a previous due bloomer down there.

Answer 3

Your answer lies in your Post-script - the last paragraph.
It's unfair to label the persons concerned in a blanket fashion as you're doing.
However, your question is very relevant and thought-provoking.
I personally feel post-feminism and "liberated" women cannot be equated with the traits exhibited by the persons involved in the t.v. program. Outright rudeness and meanness can't be on the same footing as "lack of subtlety or tact".

Answer 4

Feminists confuse me to be honest. They like to be taken out and have things bought for them yet say they want to be treated equally. With a post feminist woman I feel like I know where I stand from the beginning. If a woman outlines her thinking in a clear manner then I am comfortable with the situation, but I don't like trying to understand people when I can hardly understand myself.

Answer 5

Without having seen the show, I'd still like to generically answer your question about post-feminist women: I'd say, yes, I'm disappointed. I helped to start women's ministries in my church denomination on an international scale in the 80's, and lobbied for women 's opportunities on every front available, and I have to say my goal was not to produce steely-eyed, plastic-hearted self-worshippers. I simply thought it was in everyone's best interest for women to be able to serve and participate in life at full capacity. Yes, I'm personally disappointed in today's heartlessly competitive supermonsters. To the extent that we are.

Answer 6

To me it is an dissapointment, I think the post feminism woman is something for men who like big huge muscley mannish women,

Only few look like this on the outside, but most of them are like that on the inside.
