Walking across campus on Friday, August 26, 2011, a buzzing noise caught my attention. I looked up to see a small plane carrying an advertising banner which read, “Hooters: Have fun, get money.” Hooters, the restaurant that serves up women’s breasts and chicken wings for public consumption, was cruising our campus for employees. It seems incongruous that they should fly above an institution of higher learning where women are more focused on the size of their GPA than the size of their bust. At the Women’s Resource Center we are working for a day when a woman’s intellect is viewed as her most valued asset and her brain is her most admired (and sexy) body part.

I guess as more things are achieved in any given civil rights movement the list of things left to whine about grows increasingly petty and laughable. Apparently quasi-Victorian mindsets aren't limited to country bumpkin evangelical social conservatives. There's nothing wrong at all with exploiting your sexuality to make more money or simply exploiting it for the hell of it. This article is a solid example of the First Cardinal Rule of Modern Feminism: That it is chiefly concerned with promoting a world in which the feminist in question would be perceived as more attractive.
