ishyface"Feminism is extremely restrictive. You can't call a woman a bitch, you can't call her this, you can't call her that. But that's what life's really like. Yet she can do whatever she wants. It's out of balance and that's why young people haven't embraced feminism, because it's out of balance."
Gosh, Mr. Charney, be a little bit more of a blustering fuckhead please. ("She can do whatever she wants"? Dude, try growing a uterus and walking down a street at night, see what happens- and if you're blamed for it afterward.)
That's why I dislike American Apparel. They think they're very liberal and cutting edge, but they still use the same sexist bullshit to sell their products, trumpeting about sexual freedom when in reality their owner sexually harasses women in the workplace.
Oh, and claims that "women initiate most domestic violence."
And decorates the stores with old issues of Penthouse.
Not to mention the fact that he won't let his workers unionize.
I'm all for getting rid of sweatshop labour, but what people always forget is that different methods of exploitation are entwined. Using the tired old "sex sells" rhetoric and calling sexual enfranchisement sexual liberation is not revolutionary. It's the same stunt that corporations have been pulling for years.
