She’s the girl who in recent years has made the move from the mud flaps of big rigs right into pop culture, gracing trucker caps, baby tees, and gold necklaces as an emblem of sexy, empowered ­womanhood. Or at least that’s what she’d like you to believe.</p> <p><a href="http://bitchmagazine.org/article/hog">read more</a></p> http://bitchmagazine.org/article/hog#comments Ariel Levy beauty standards body image Books chauvinism Feature gender roles objectification porn post feminism sex sex industry sex objects sexuality stereotypes Wed, 31 Aug 2005 20:00:00 -0400 Kyla 197 at http://bitchmagazine.org http://bitchmagazine.org/article/suburban-blight <p>A film studies professor once told me that everything you need to know about a movie is revealed in the first five minutes.
