A thought on two seemingly contradictory views on feminism:
I don't get it.
Yeah, I know that is a foolish answer, but for some reason, I can't really take any of this verbal prancing very seriously. Maybe we should have some pseudo-archetypal-celebrity death-match: fertility goddess vs. witch-crone.
I never thought that feminism was something that could be polarized. There are multiple viewpoints with varying gradations between all of them. Besides the "hot chick" and the "old hag" there are plenty of other types of people who are probably more interesting to begin with anyway.
So I'm rooting for the wallflowers, the fat, the ugly, the brilliant, the hopelessly dumb, the unconventional, and the eccentric. I vote for empowering the ordinary because the media is fantasy and history (although important) is past.

Something probably in bad taste: Silence! Silence of the Lambs: The Musical. Another musical parody. I'm not a fan of this story so it doesn't seem as funny to me. I liked the first song though.
