Thanks a lot for your comment. I understand your frustration.. and I totally agree: I don't think it's wrong for young women to be innocent - as long as they are realistically innocent! This horrific bimbo type trend you are describing and that the kids are following is indeed worrying. Unfortunately, like Charlotte Raven interestingly describes it in her last article ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/mar/06/charlotte-raven-feminism-madonna-price ) it's probably feminists' own fault: the revolution is not in a pole dance class! But I don't think Swift puritan and manichean embellishment will help young ladies neither.. Marion Hi A.R.

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:58:17 +0000 http://www.mindbubble.co.uk/blog-mb/?p=697#comment-246 Hi ladies, I didn't know anything about this girl but I found your article very illuminating. It makes me wonder why this naive girl is attacked for her innocent and silly, if you want, lyrics. I found much more anti-feminist and dangerous all the marketing-made girl bands that sing irrelevant songs (badly) about being wild, sexy all the time and have an attitude. You have 9 year olds with make up and "bitch" written on the back of their trousers. And one of the highest rates in Europe for teenage pregnancies. What's so feminist about that? Let girls be girls and sing about their inexperience until they have something (genuine) else to offer. The women that fought for our right to get undressed, professional and able to refuse iron our men's shirts didn't do it for us to become sex kittens that can't even remember who they slept with because they were too drunk or drugged. What kind of girl power is that? I don't mean to rant, just mean to say we are entitled to a bit of innocence until we loose it (and we all do, after all!). Hi ladies,
