This week we’ll be discussing ‘Female Chauvinist Pigs: the rise of raunch culture’ by Ariel Levy :

“If the male chauvinist pigs of years past thought of women as vacuous sex objects, then the female chauvinist pigs of today are going one better – embracing raunch culture all by themselves. This is a world in which young women attend lap-dancing clubs – as patrons – simulate sex on shows like ‘Girls Gone Wild’ and adopt the playboy bunny logo as a symbol of liberation. They see these post-feminist antics as a short-cut to cool.”

No English student skills necessary, just an interest in women/feminism.
