Can Feminists be cute? Spike.com sure thinks that Feminists can be cute and in order to prove it they made up a comprehensive list of the top seven (usually it's top ten but we are talking about Feminists and should count ourselves lucky that they found seven)cutest, yes, cutest Feminists.
First, we should be thanking them for answering the age old question that asks "Can intelligent women be easy on the eyes too?"
Second we should praise the clear display of class by Spike.com for ranking these cutesy she-devils on yup, you got it, "inner beauty"
So, who had the honor of gracing the list of cute Feminists? Third-wave Feminist Jennifer Baumgardner, U.K. activist Kat Banyard, New York Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, Feminist porn star Nina Hartley, author of "The Beauty Myth" Naomi Wolf, Jezebel's Jessica Coen and Nicole Kidman.
Does anyone know why Nicole Kidman is on that list? I'm confused.
Does anyone see a women on this list that isn't white? No.
Sure, it's really nice of Spike.com to put anything promoting these ladies accomplishments up on their web site and acknowledging that Feminism is still a thing when some young women today would rather be called a c*#t instead of the dreaded F word.
And now for the but. BUT, this is a really idiotic thing to do. This is a really irritating and unnecessary thing to do in a really obnoxious way.
"Oh, how super that women who act like people have these cute little ideas about equality."
So, white traditionally beautiful independent women thinkers can still go ahead and sleep well at night. It's okay ladies, Spike.com thinks you have (inner) beauty and brains.
Wow.
