I know it's cool to bash on feminists here, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and defend them.
"There's nothing quite like telling adolescent girls that they don't need to worry about finances since they have their very own moneypot between their legs," Jessica Valenti, the executive editor of Feministing.com, wrote on the panty blog post.
I couldn't agree more. Especially because Jessica is well-known and very reasonable, in my opinion. The larger a corporation gets, the more it has an ethical obligation to consider not only its bottom line but also what messages it is sending.
I'm glad they pulled it. It wasn't a good message. I'm not sure how you guys want to encourage MORE women to become gold-diggers. There's enough of them already, we don't need to spawn another generation obsessed with the guy's wallet.
For the record, I don't have any panties to bunch.
