Naomi Wolf angered by Katy Perry "propaganda" video which shows women in military combat roles

Because a woman has to be motivated by some asshole's betrayal to justify taking an active role.

She can't be motivated by a desire to serve her country. No, it all comes back to being acted upon.

She didn't say anything about it showing women in combat roles; her objection is based on its pro-military stance. Say Ms. Wolf is anti-military (she does) but don't put words in her mouth.

This video comes out one month after the Pentagon eased restrictions for women in combat roles back in late February. I find the video to be disturbing honestly, but shouldn't Naomi Wolf be praising this woman?

The military really is a tough one for feminists isn't it?

They want women to be able to serve in combat! Strong powerful women! ... uh... but women shouldn't be drafted, because.. war is bad and stuff. Women suffer the most in wars! ... uh... because men die a lot in them and women lose their husbands and sons... Soldiers sure are the image of strong, determined, and powerful... just like we want women to be! .. uh... except not men though, because that's bad...

Feminism's cognitive dissonance when it comes to the military is just symptomatic of their confused attraction to and repulsion of power.

But I thought women were strong, independent, and equal-or-better to men at everything?

I think it's extremely pretentious of Perry to make a video like that in the first place.

Naomi Wolf used to be a fan of Katy Perry

So much for her credibility

I think it's a music video. Who cares.
