Female chauvinist pigs

In 'Female Chauvinist Pigs', Ariel Levy critiques the evolution of women's liberation from seeking equal access to power to embracing a culture of irresponsibility and self-objectification.

Levy introduces the concept of 'Female Chauvinist Pigs', women who adopt male chauvinist attitudes towards themselves and other women, often through participating in 'raunch culture' such as strip clubs, pornography, and casual sex.

The book argues that this new form of 'empowerment' is actually a limiting conformity that undermines true feminist ideals of freedom, liberty, and equal opportunities.
