Emma and Ella, "both of us curious feminists," went to see "Magic Mike," and here is what Ella wrote: "The almost entirely female audience lapped up every second, myself included. Catcalls, hooting laughter and orders to ‘Take it off!’ were refreshingly shameless and surprisingly frequent. It did not matter that we were experiencing Joe Manganiello’s buttocks through the filter of a movie screen . . .."

". . . if nothing else, the runaway success of Magic Mike and its sold-out showings all over the country prove that women are hungry for an opportunity to ogle the shiny pecks of Hollywood’s finest."

"Hopefully, this will be the first in a long line of films allowing women to have their turn objectifying their male counterparts."

I'm confused. Would they justify these attitudes by telling us that male "objectification" of females is so widespread, no one should be upset when once in a while, women turn turn the tables?

And when little Jimmy sees mommy screaming at the sight of male ass, he's supposed to think, "it's OK when mommy does it, but not when daddy does it"? (Hint: little Jimmy isn't going to buy that distinction.)

So, is it OK, or isn't it?
