Ms. Wolf,
After reading your CNN article this morning entitled 'Kate's breasts,
Pussy, Riot, virginity tests, and our attitude towards women's bodies' I
see a striking aggrandizement of the sexuality Pussy Riot evokes being
a female trio punk rock band, the reason for their imprisonment and the
thesis or point of your article. Pussy Riot was speaking out in a
public demonstration against the Russian orthodox church's support for
the united Russia party and Vladimir
Putin as the country's president. Sadly their actions interrupted a
church service at one orthodox cathedral and they were charged with
hooliganism motivated by religious hatred. Granted, more than likely
their stiff sentence and specific charges were skewed and propogandized
to deter questions of political persecution, but anyone can see the
Kremlin wanted an example mad out of them for speaking against the
ruling party.
Your article's sole premise is more of a general stab at sociological
idealogies as they relate to sex, the exploitation of woman, and the
female body as a whole. Aside from pussy riot being women, not sure how
mentioning them gives your article or your point to be more precise any
more vigor other than to slowly euthanize a pseudo-intellectual passerby
having eloped from their daily work duties to surf the Internet at
lunch only to become fixated on buzz word current events.
Best,
b
