On Television

Ellen Degeneres is a role model to both women and gays.

i cannot imagine why anyone would romanticize the kind of slavery women endured pre womens liberation movent. the religious right and destiny’s child are seem to be on the same page. i feel sorry for young girls growing up today; i remember looking up to women like ani difranco and ellen degeneres as young as middle school. i think the 90’s had signifigantly more positive (or at least strong) female role-models, we had… alanis morissette, kathleen hanna, four non blondes, kim gordon, tracy chapman… now the closest thing popular culture has to a feminist is, dare i say, paris hilton, who makes no apologies about sexual promiscuity and has yet to get breast augmentation.
