Is 'sexy' the new epitome of power for modern women?# Being ’sexy’ has become the most important accolade a teenager can aspire to, outdoing intelligence, success at school and character.

# Even parents have fallen foul of the fashion and everything around today’s women conspires to push them towards sex, sending the implacable message that the sexually inexperienced are uncool, abnormal or hopelessly undesirable.

# Nowadays, girls who resist a boy’s advances are no longer backed up by a social consensus which honors their right to say ‘NO’, their right to be chaste.

# Emphasising sex and beauty, the standards by which young women have traditionally been valued - their character, intellect or skills - are being eroded.

# Women are actually living in a profoundly anti-feminist landscape where girls compete for attention on the basis of how much they’re prepared to do sexually for men.

A popular saying - 'beauty and brain rarely exist together' is thee answer. Sexy look doesn't have brain so thre is no qustion of eroding skill and character.

# Bin, it is not useless debate but truth. Women always take advantagee of their good look if they havee it and nobody cares her skill and other things if they look seexy.

FINALLY, finally, finally, there’s a debate for letting women know that they are not there because of their talents...okay, well, their ASSets makes them stand out of the rest. And i lost my job because one those busty bitches was making my boss feel as if he’s a HE MAN.

It is hardly anything new. Sex appeal has been always used by both men and women alike for personal advancement, in varying degrees. Take Cleopatra, for starters.

Only that in today’s ”glasnost” times it is freely discussed.

Sexy is something different don't take it as nymphomaniac. Sexy girls can be intelligent but ignoring intelligence to become more sexy is waste of resources.

good looks, rather the intelligence is what brings empowerment and to be good looking doesn't mean that you get the power or anything like that coz handsome is not the handsome but the handsome that does handsome.

I have read somewhere, 90% of what men want in a woman is beauty, the other 10% is about intelligence, personality, and everything else. Where is the place of looking 'sexy'?

Anything that sets the feminist movement is terrible and degrading. These young girls need to be properly educated on self respect and shown what the future of the empty-headed sexy woman is...a homemaker with ten kids and no skills and eventually...no looks. The intelligent woman doesn’t rely on anyone for her respect or success...noone can take that away.

Perhaps yes. A sexy woman is desired by men and she can manipulate a few things when men are willing to give in to have her attention.

Being 'sexy' or being 'feminist'? Feminists are not sexy. They are gross. The pic of beer sipping women suggests feminism. Power comes when men give in. Men would try to woo a sexy woman empowering them in the process. Majority of men however would like to kick the butt of a feminist bitch.

Good looks |= sexy. Being sexy is a combination of looks (minor) + personality (major). Women with good personality will always be confident making them winners that in turn would suggest having power.
