		<description><![CDATA[The other issue I take with this type of sexual maneuvering is that it's really bad for our feminist cause. It isn't that Tammy is physically or emotionally hurt in the process - though Ron sustains some emotional scars, it's that Tammy will damage her reputation and the potential for herself and other women to advance in their careers. Ever heard a man or woman around the workplace refer to another woman as requiring knee pads to do her job? This kind of cynicism makes it very difficult for women to get ahead because of their intellectual merit. In other words, the Veronicas of the world owe us Bettys some fair dealing when it comes to peddling sexuality lest we all will be undermined in our careers. Just because Tammy sleeps her way to the top, doesn't mean the rest of us do. And just because a woman sleeps with her boss doesn't mean she isn't good at her job.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&amp;blog=3742533&amp;post=1166&amp;subd=femspotter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's a lot to write about because - I am pleased to say - women are being written rather well, in some cases. They're increasingly dynamic. Unlike "chick" shows where several characters add up to one "real" woman, each character embodying a facet of the female psyche (think: Sex and the City, Designing Women and The Golden Girls, to name a few), some of today's women have a little more in the mix: they're allowed to be sexy and smart and confused and confident...all at the same time. What a novel idea!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&amp;blog=3742533&amp;post=556&amp;subd=femspotter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I can't come up with an annual "top ten" movies, I start thinking about a larger list: top American narrative feature films of all time. The American Film Institute (AFI) has a comprehensive list, often referred to as the "definitive" list, circa 1998 and revamped in 2007. I would charge myself with writing a feminist rebuttal, but there certainly aren't 100 female-centered films of sufficient calabre to make for a serious argument. That - in and of itself - is the argument... The reason for compiling a list of this type is to encourage people to view and discuss these works. (There's certainly more that can be written about each one of these films.) AFI wants you to watch and consider Citizen Kane and Raging Bull, etc. As a feminist film critic, I want you to see these and other motion pictures with an open mind. With so few feminist film critics working in the mainstream media, you may not have considered these and other films in this way before. Maybe you have and perhaps you even have ideas about other films that warrant a fresh look at the way they too challenge phallocentrism in cinema. The more we watch and the more we raise our voices in forums like this, the more chance there is of changing the way Hollywood understands and portrays women, and the more plentiful the opportunities for women as creators of cinema will become.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&amp;blog=3742533&amp;post=309&amp;subd=femspotter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

She is beloved for her brain in the way, historically, so few women have been - and that's what makes her special.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&amp;blog=3742533&amp;post=236&amp;subd=femspotter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
