Blog Spot Female Chauvinist Pigs

What shocks me the most about this text is the detail. The issues address very "real" issues in todays society. I have read many articles and other sources about issues like porn and GGW, but the book addresses these issues in detail. Instead of just saying GGW showcases girls lifting their shirts it describes in detail how the girls act and talk. Another topic that shocked me was about the CAKE group. I didn't know what it was untill reading this book. I was shocked I have heard of things like the Playboy mansion but the parties and actions of this group was shocking. This is different from all the other text just in the way it is worded. The other books seemed to make a sentence that could be 5 words long, 15 words long and that is just confusing. The topic in this book is also very different because it hits closer to home with society. Although branding and hip-hop are very real topics I personally dont think they are as addressed now days as the issues in Female Chauvinist Pigs. I do not have any personal experiences with the text for the most part other than the knowing of it being so popular and desired.

  1. I was shocked about how graphic things have gotten now days as well. I just don't understand why these women would undress for free?? Also, the CAKE parties, were somewhat new, but I had heard of passion parties, which I know of some that have been held right here in our community. So this "raunch culture" is very real and local.
