Those critiques about "objectification" through not showing faces are so old they're quaint. I imagine (hope) feminist studies classes have caught up with the incredible explosion of stylized imagery that has taken place since 1985. The original critiques were valid in context, I think, but cum-shot porn is an entirely different matter from a bare shoulder on the latest chic lit offering. But I'm afraid I'm really far behind on the feminist scholarship these days. I am way too busy with actually having a life. (However, the fact that Camille Paglia still hasn't gone away is just sad. She was on VH-1 when I was in college, and that was a long time ago. And it was VH-1! Even the president was on MTV back then.)
