	Ariel Levy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ariel Levy is a contributing editor at New York magazine and author of the book Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture.
		Levy was raised in Larchmont, New York, and attended Wesleyan University in the 1990s.
		Levy herself felt that these women, and women as a whole, had forgotten that sexual power is only one variety of power, and that "this spring-break variety of thongs-and-implant exhibitionism" is only one variety of sexuality.

	OpinionJournal - Leisure & Arts
		Levy suggested to a department head that it would be nice to have at least one course in the traditional literary canon, she was dismissed with icy contempt.
		Levy argues forcefully in "Female Chauvinist Pigs." It was merely the academic groundwork for what she calls "raunch culture," now so ubiquitous that we take it for granted.
		Levy is having none of it, and she is not the only one.

	Ariel Levy
		With nuance and humor, Levy has written both a convincing expose of sex and desire in contemporary America and an important cultural history.
		Ariel Levy understands that while we may defend to death every woman's right to look and act like a whore, it doesn't mean we're prigs if we find it unfortunate."
		"Levy, who writes for New York magazine, launches her lively, well-reported book with a list of porn-culture influences...Levy pushes for improved, straightforward education on sexuality and health for young people, and urges women to do the work of articulating their own values, rejecting cultural practices that don't fit those beliefs."

	The Claremont Institute: Getting Theirs
		Levy is at her best when describing how crass and un-erotic the raunch culture is. One of her many examples is Paris Hilton—considered by devotees to be the über-chick, the ultimate in sexy.
		Levy laments that when she first noticed this trend among her friends and associates, she "tried to get with the program, but [she] could never make the argument add up in [her] head." She thinks that her aversion to raunch stems from her understanding of true feminism.
		Levy is right about this much: raunch culture is not a sign of the moral progress we have made, but of how far we have left to go.

	Campus CrossWalk Magazine: 2006 Spring Issue -- Book Review: Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Levy is able to describe a world in which women either try to imitate Playboy models or openly appreciate those who can “strut their stuff.” She asks how a porn star, Jenna Jameson, can become an icon in popular society — and not just among men.
		Levy struggles aloud with the fact that many successful females find it seemingly insufficient to be successful in their fields.
		Levy is not afraid to use seemingly crude language in reporting some of the things she witnessed in her research for this book.

	The Unbearable Lightness of Feminists - Bernard Chapin - MensNewsDaily.com™
		Ariel Levy holds the feminist vanguard of the 1960s in the highest esteem.
		In fact, neither Levy nor her editors noticed that she refuted her own claim later in her book when she makes mention of a teacher in Palo Alto who brought in a stripper for career day as a means to advocate for the glories of that spandexed profession.
		Levy is every parent’s Madonna (nightmare) as she states, “Rather than only telling teens why they shouldn’t have sex, perhaps we also ought to be teaching them why they should.” No, maybe we should just teach them geometry instead.

	Amazon.com: Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture: Books: Ariel Levy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Levy relates our embracing of this raunchy culture to unresolved tensions thirty years ago between the sexual revolution and the women’s liberation movement, and amongst feminists; joy at discovering the delights of our clitoris conflicting with disgust at pornography’s objectification of women.
		Levy, smartly expanding on reporting for an article in New York magazine, argues that the term is defined by a pervasive raunch culture wherein women make sex objects of other women and of ourselves.
		Levy does a great job explaining the costs and consequences of America's all-pervasive "raunch culture." Where she did an incomplete job was in explaining the causes.

		As New York magazine writer Ariel Levy says, probably the most striking thing about Paris Hilton’s 2003 sex tapes is the excitement in her eyes as she addresses the camera, compared with the drudgery of actually having sex with her boyfriend.
		But Levy finds a broader category of female chauvinist pigs who “profess to disdain women who are overly focused on the appearance of femininity”.
		Levy is very interesting on female cultural commentators whose careers are bolstered by denigrating other women.

		But while others around her including well-known feminists were writing this off as a trend that would soon die down, the author became fascinated with such behaviour, why it was happening to females all around the globe and what it meant for women.
		Levy said although the trend was thought to be liberating for women, this was not the case.
		Levy said she did not know how far the raunch trend would go and didn't want to guess.

		While male chauvinist pigs have long been derided, the coinage of Levy's title has risen to the top, claiming that her love of 'all things bimbo' is the gloriously liberated end-result of second-generation feminism.
		They find this so exhilarating, Levy is told, that the programme's creator has likened the flashing girls to feminists burning their bras.
		Yet everywhere else she looks, Levy is told that women who are uncomfortable with raunch should 'get with the program'.

		In 2004 Levy accompanied the company's camera crew on a spring break search for girls willing to bare all, and what she witnessed, she said, deeply disturbed her.
		She said that all the aspects of "raunch culture" (pornography and overt sexual displays, for example) that 1960s and 70s feminists detested are now seen by many young women as examples of sexual empowerment and freedom.
		Levy said she does not see anything inherently wrong with pornography, but she is concerned with how Americans perceive it.

		The reason, Levy posits, is because women are getting in on the act and participating in their own exploitation.
		Levy notes how the anti-woman attitude has even invaded lesbian culture as sexually adventurous lesbians refer to themselves as 'bois' and resist the attempts of "femmes" to get them to settle down.
		Levy makes a great point: younger women have never known anything BUT Raunch Culture, a canned version of sex that teaches them only what men want from sex and nothing about their own sexuality.

	'Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture' by Ariel Levy
		In her quest to uncover why this is happening, Levy interviews college women who flash for the cameras on spring break and teens raised on Paris Hilton and breast implants.
		She examines a culture in which every music video seems to feature a stripper on a pole, the memoirs of porn stars are climbing the best-seller lists, Olympic athletes parade their Brazilian bikini waxes in the pages of Playboy, and thongs are marketed to prepubescent girls.
		Levy meets the high-powered women who create raunch culture—the new oinking women warriors of the corporate and entertainment worlds who eagerly defend their efforts to be "one of the guys." And she traces the history of this trend back to conflicts between the women's movement and the sexual revolution long left unresolved.

	- Female Chauvinist Pigs, Part One by Ariel Levy
		I want to know if other species are as obsessed with analysing their 'sexuality' and their 'gender' as humans are - or whether they just live them.
		Ariel Levy must be one of those old fuddy duddy types who doesn't have the courage to shave her genitalia to be powerful or to submit to an archane religious splinter group who happened to take political control of her nation state.
		I've got the feeling that the answer to one of these questions is "no" while the other gets an affirmative.

And she traces the history of this trend back to conflicts between the women's movement and the sexual revolution long left unresolved.
		In the tradition of Susan Faludi's Backlash and Naomi Wolf's The Beauty Myth, Levy pulls apart the myth of the Female Chauvinist Pig and argues that what has come to pass for liberating rebellion is actually a kind of limiting conformity.
		"Ariel Levy has given us an important, lively, shocking investigative report about how and why — in an age of HIV/AIDS and religious fundamentalism — U.S. commercialism has mainstreamed pornography, popularized raunch images (and practices), and revived female 'bimbo' roles.
