Reminds me of a south park episode
When Paris Hilton competes in the "Whore-Off."
As much as I hate responding and fueling this non-issue, it might be more cause for concern if the goal wasn't to become "Miss Bimbo." I want to believe, that most girls, of any age, get upset when others call them bimbos....When the "Miss Spectacular" or some variation thereof comes out where the goal is to release your sex tape, get divorced three times, each time marrying a wealthier man or woman, with a similar or identical framework as "Miss Bimbo," even then, it would only be incrementally more relevant to feminists.
On some level, isn't feminism about accountability, pro-action and a modicum of common sense? Or is it really about pointing the fingers at others? Offering criticism, not solutions? Parental responsibilities, education, do any of these things factor into the incidence of eating disorders in the U.S and elsewhere? Nope! It's the fault of video games, blogs run by anorexics, and glossy fashion magazines.
On the unintended consequences tip, do the women of broadsheet understand that by posting and thinking they're addressing these non-issues, that they're actually perpetuating the proliferation of that which pisses them off?
Misery loves company eh?
