Why?
I'm honestly curious because it goes against the grain of my old school feminist ideas and beliefs, but the world moves on....So I'm curious to understand how it's empowering.

There's nothing like fanny glitter to remove the shackles of Hegemonic masculinity upon the sisterhood

It's empowering
because men like the shiney, shiney.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 16:15, Reply)

Women are less empowered
because men have more power.

Isn't the best way to redress the balance to have men treat women more equitably rather than inventing bullshit ways of 'empowering' yourself.

That's like asking a slave to free themself.

What women need is a really talented and strong group of women to invent something called
'Girl Power' that'll sort everything out.

zig-a-zig-aah!

I was trolling the people who insist on telling me that pole dancing is 'lol empowering'

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 16:14, Reply)

Because men expect you not to want to decorate your vagina
and therefore decorating your vagina is going against men. And therefore it's feminist.

Crap
That's just being deliberately contrary. Proper argument please!
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 16:15, Reply)

I don't mind if people want to decorate their vagina's
but it does seem a bit stupid to me.

It isn't empowering.
if a woman wants to do better in society, going to a job interview and saying she has a sparkly fanny, is not going to help her become head of finance with KPMG.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 16:15, Reply)

you obviously don't know the bosses at KPMG like I do

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 16:17, Reply)

I'm sure it would help you get a PA job, but not be one of the bosses.
Anyway, tell me more....
