Basically, Sarler is calling out Catherine and any other feminists because their support for the Spice Girls (or what Sarler reads as their support) is the 'cause' of what we see today.
This is not unlike what Katha Pollitt has been doing lately when she's called young women featherheads and has been insulted that 'young women' criticize her. Her response is to claim that the crits are about their "girls just wanna have fun" feminism. Although, obviously, Katha wouldn't blame feminist's failures on the spice girls, etc.
Was hoping Cat had time to reply because I would think she should have some fascinating insights into the last sex panic.
What always kills me about how easily feminists in bloglandia get riled up by these articles is that they forget that so much of this 'news' is manufactured.
Anyhoo, as you probably know, this was what was posted at iblamethepatriarchy.com today. Surprise!
