[lbo-talk] Contemporary forms of female self-objectification

[Marvin Gandall]

My wife brought the item to my attention. A much more muted and benign form 
of self-objectification is the tendency of many progressive feminists to 
wear lipstick, perfume, and dye their hair. Now I will quickly put on my 
helmet, because whenever Walker (yes, her first name) and I have chided 
left-wing women friends about this, the brickbats have quickly rained down 
on us. But in cyberspace, I feel safer, and it is an interesting question, 
no? And maybe one to pose to Ms. Levy.

BTW, could you again provide the url of the radio station airing your show. 
You sure seem to have an array of interesting guests.
