CoOlDiGgY WOMEN OF THE WEEK - 3) Raquel Welch

In her new book, Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage, legendary bombshell Raquel Welch takes a nuanced view of feminism. She argues that many of the stated goals of the Movement has destroyed the roles of women.

"I tried to make it historic so people could really see how, you know, it's like smoke under a door. It starts out with the Suffragettes and kind of gathers and gathers and gathers until pretty soon you turn around and say, 'Well, you know, I'm happy about the gains we've made but something happened here, and there was a misunderstanding, you know? We are not like men. We don't want to be like men, not really."

We agree, women shouldn't try to be like men. We suck at it, why would anyone want to act like us? Ever hear of the Crusades? That was all penis. You have to love those curves she still has! But Ms. Welch, for a brief moment, made us forget that 37-26-36 figure of hers. Our approach to gender issues in this country is not working. It probably never has. Raquel is challenging us to all come back to the table and revise our views during these dark times.
