Feminists Who Appear Slutty But Live Traditional Values
September 29, 2008 / 10:40 am • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierRobert Stacy McCain addresses a modern feminist’s journey from HIV testing to monogamous marriage. Hypocrisy? Of course not! RS McCain calls her on her, um, inconsistencies:
However, notice that the enlightened Johansson never says whether she has actually had an abortion. This would not be a fashionable admission, any more so than it would be fashionable for Johansson to go into the details of exactly why she felt so at-risk of HIV infection as to have herself tested twice a year. The personal may be political, as the feminists tell us, but one doesn’t get points for progressive enlightenment merely by protecting one’s self-interest. It is important that the bien pensant advocate progressive values in a disinterested and selfless manner.
And thus it is altogether fitting that Johansson, having publicly expressed her disdain of traditional morality, should now take the seemingly incongruous step of committing herself to that most traditional of institutions, marriage.
Go read the whole thing.
