SATC: the Movie: critique on Pandagon.net

This is a great post. I love the acknowledgment that if an activity is inherently feminine (appreciation of fashion, cosmetics, etc.) it is seen as shallow; that if women put themselves first instead of waiting for others to think of them while they play the self-sacrificing Madonna, then it's selfish. Even sadder is that far too many feminists hold the same views that males use to devalue and ignore what women do. I've had far too many people, male and female, assume that my awesome application of Lancome mascara and lipstick precludes my ability to be intelligent and self-determining and possess genuine self-confidence. Read it, it's fantastic.
