Ariel Levy on Fresh Air

2006-11-29 17:27:32.796142+00 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Yesterday I had to make a run into town around lunch time, and ended up hearing the start of Ariel Levy on Fresh Air. I was intrigued, she seemed to have an anti-porn feminist stance, but she was taking on the whole Girls Gone Wild/Maxim culture. I went looking for more on her oon the web, and found the Ariel Levy archive at New York Magazine, but the article I read, on older women having sex with boys, wasn't particularly enlightening.

This morning I listened to the whole interview, and it seemed like she's got the nub of some ideas that I'd like to see explored further, but neither her articles nor Terry Gross's questioning managed to give me an idea of whether I'd actually like her book. So anyone out there read enough Ariel Levy to give me an idea, or point me to something that'll convince me I need to order Female Chauvinist Pigs?
