A lot of people miss the point about objectification of women. If some lady wants to be sexy that's perfectly fine. But when people actually literally are portraying women as objects it's bothersome. Like the famous heineken:keg superbowl commercial that portrayed a woman a beer keg. The recent Fiat Abarth 500 commercial showed a woman as a car saying things like "You'd like to own me, wouldn't you?" How can these companies say they're not objectifying women? Cars and Kegs are objects but women aren't.
But this post isn't even about feminist issues it's about feminist writers.
The only feminist writers I know are the ones I see doing online journalism, hence my comment. Never read any of the books they listed or any feminist books at all, having been so turned off by the movement.
Indeed, just trying to share what experience I had. :P Hmm, I'm not sure particularly, but I can probably find some of the articles if I go do a search real fast.
This is the one NeuroNeptunian and I were talking about.

That group does some ridiculous stuff.

And this one more recently.
I did remember I got one feminist book in college that was pretty good, called The Beauty Myth.
I've never liked a single piece of feminist literature I've read

Well there is a difference between online journalism and literature. Can I ask which bloggers turned you off from the movement?

Thanks for showing me those. Yeah those articles seem more like the belong in a Cosmo than a Times, pretty bad stuff.
