If their cause was so sound and completely concrete factually…they wouldn’t need T & A to sell it.

I think all the tequila references in Jessica’s bio is just meant to make us, the readers, think that she is a “normal cool girl” who likes to party and have fun… AND is concerned about the environment.

The website does include information on saving energy and recycling. I think their intentions are good…

The problem really is how these morning shows / news programs trivialized these women and their cause. It’s just a complete dumbing down of everything and I think it’s quite patronizing to their viewers.

Admittedly, I’m not watching the vids for bandwidth reasons, but I’m not seeing much misogyny in the text.

The ‘AGG”s profile is…well, confusing. She starts off with what sounds like a personal ad, then says “Of course, none of the above is true. But congratulations, at least you have basic reading skills. So put some of that to use and check the other features on our site. You might learn something. ” but then implies none of that is true either. Which leaves her basically appearing to stand for nothing. Which, for an advocate, is monumentally stupid, but hardly misogynistic.

As for the “dumb tequila blonde” That’s your term for her, not theirs, so why are you putting quotes around it? The profile says she likes tequila and suggests, in a non-serious way, that she has only a ‘few brain cells left’. I don’t think we’re meant to read that she’s dumb. And putting that together with her hair colour? That’s your stereotyping, Jackie, not theirs.

And come on – “intern who does things the rest of us dont want to do” – are you seriously suggesting with your ‘uggh’ that there’s a sexual connotation to that? That’s pretty much the definition of an intern’s role.

Look, I have questions about the effectiveness of their tactic of using sex to get attention towards their cause. However, I’m dismayed by your reaction to this particular web-page. I think your bar for “appalling” is a bit low.

I just don’t see misogyny (hatred of women) there. Because AGG gives Jessica (the women have names, Jackie, despite your desire to simply label them) some stick in wirting her profile, does that automatically make it misogyny because she’s a woman? Could it not be simply one person giving a friend and co-worker some hassle in a spirit of fun?

Patriarchal standards? What are you specifically talking about? I’m sorry, I’m perfectly happy for you to show me what I’m not seeing, but give me examples.

And as many of you have already said, the chances of people listening to what this “girl” says are pretty slim.

BUT… I did think that possibly associating “hot girls” with hybrid and environmentally friendly cars might make a bit of sense. I mean, “hot girls” have been associated with cars for ages.

If hot girls sell Mustangs, why can’t they sell hybrids too?

Of course, this doesn’t mean that it’s right to use hot girls to sell any kind of car. I’m just saying that Angry Green Girl might prescribe to the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” mantra.
