Top 5 most hated are mostly women.

Filed under: Uncategorized

Whether it’s Heather Mills or Kerry Katona, the celebrities that ordinary people vilify seem disproportionately to be female. Why?

Now there’s an interesting question… 

In a survey this week, by Marketing magazine the respondents’ top five most loved celebrities were men - Paul McCartney, Lewis Hamilton, Gary Lineker, Simon Cowell and David Beckham. Of the five most hated, the top four were women - Heather Mills, Amy Winehouse, Victoria Beckham and Kerry Katona.

Interesting statistic.  

"There is incredible ambivalence in a post-feminist culture towards women in the public sphere."

Post feminist? Based on things I see every day, on things I hear and witness personally, let alone see in the media - Where do you think a Post Feminist culture fits in? How can anyone claim we’re in a Post Feminist anything in the same article as pointing out the underlying hatred of women that out society deems normal?

I don’t get it. Anyone care to enlighten me? Please bear in mind I prefer plain english, don’t try to make yourself look better with big words and jargon.

  1. It’s not post-patriarchy- it’s post-feminist. That is- a society that no longer thinks that the feminist movement has anything to offer, and/or where feminism is thought to have(distinct from *has*) achieved it’s goals.
