Spice Girls Killed Feminism

2007-12-05 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 26 Comments
Fay Weldon of the Daily Mail has written a fascinating article on why the Spice Girls are responsible for Britain's rapid moral decline and how, despite Mel C's ace songwriting skills, their reunion is bound for failure.

This is kind of irritating. I would have expected something more insightful from Fay Weldon. To associate the Spice Girls with feminism in the first place, rather than commercialism, consummerism, secularism and so forth is not too bright. Secondly, why would a feminist writer care whether they looked old or had lost the zest of youth. And as for blaming the Spice Girls for the moral decay in society, that sounds more like some right wing Christian grandmother. I absolutely despise sexism and all philosophies that are used to oppress people on the basis of gender, race, class or whatever, but facile articles of this nature don't do much to set things right.

Yeah I can definitely see that whole pop stardom thing being a fisad for their record label to do away with women once and for all.

JK, I'm with Thor on this one.

I'm a feminist, and I think that the spice girls dont have much effect on feminism. I do see them as a bit of a bad influence, but thats more to do with virture than feminism.

this writer is an idiot, well, it is the daily mail anyway.This Message Edited On 12.06.07

The unquestionable truth. Did you hear about those "Muslim Teenagers Selling New Kind of Heroin to Children That Artificially Deflates House Prices"?

Feminism is gay. Literally; I'm all for women's rights but some take it too far - "HETEROSEX ISZ TAH RAPEZ, DURNN!"

My main problem with feminism is that it keeps women from shaving their pubes. That shit doesn't need to be there girls.

It's an article from The Daily Mail, what do you expect? I'm suprised the Spice Girls weren't accused of smuggling immigrants into the country and encouraging them to take benefits and/or steal our jobs, depending on which mood they're currently in.

Feminism is a funny thing, always makes me think of Purdy's mad outburst about babystrikes. Years after Sociology, I still imagine thousands of babies getting thrown out of the back of a military aircraft.This Message Edited On 12.06.07
