This is a cover shot from a community college newspaper. As you can see from the pic, the headline is “Goals gone wild” and the caption reads “Four good reasons to support…”
This from the midwest. The community college is in KANSAS. I don’t know. I’m always torn on these things. I don’t know enough about feminist studies, but part of me wants to say that women who choose this sort of thing (or even more risque things like Girls Gone Wild or stripping or porn) are entitled to make their decisions and some of them truly feel empowered to make the choice. But the whole degradation of women, objectification of women argument is so very strong. Even if women choose that path and it empowers them individually, what does it do on a grander scale?
Regardless, I’m surprised that this cover shot was actually published, community college paper or not.
