435. You've highlighted several of the ways that "Post-Feminist"...
DUers perpetuate sexism and misogyny, particularly regarding female appearance and the preference for the stick-thin pre-pubescent child (with breast implants) look. I know men like what they like, but it wasn't that long ago that men liked women who looked fully adult. The idea that, perhaps, men could examine their preferences in a political context is one that is always bound to create great hysteria on the part of some DU men.

It's no accident that the pre-pubescent look has coincided with woman playing a stronger role in the workplace and politics.
