Did attractive women actually benefit from feminism?

[Integral]

I gained a bit of respect for Rush L. the day I heard him admit that he was in the entertainment business. His social commentary is for entertainment. When he makes a silly statement like this you are supposed to slap your knee and say "that was a good one! ha ha ha".

You get much better social commentary and comedy if you listen to George Carlin. (RIP)

Did attractive women actually benefit from feminism?
Or was it just a way to allow for unattractive women to vent their frustrations against how "easy" attractive women had their lives?
Rush Limbaugh describes feminism as "a misguided way to allow unattractive women into the mainstream."

Instead of debating whether this is true or not, how accurate do you think this statement is?

Let me understand this properly. You're asking us to -- with completely straight faces -- "debate" the veracity of an extremely offensive statement made by a rude man whose sole intent is to be deliberately provocative by posting bigoted, racist, chauvinistic, and hate-filled commentary? Truly?

I'll make one comment with regard to this useless bit of woman-baiting -- Lisab mentioned the advantages accrued by women as a result of second-wave feminism. I'll mention one accrued by all women (attractiveness notwithstanding) as a result of first-wave feminism and that's women's suffrage.

Useless bit of woman-baiting? W-o-w.
If anything, I would see how supposedly "unattractive" women may feel about this thread, but even that is stretching it.

If any ladies truly feel threatened or offended by this thread, I think it should go ahead and be closed.

Good. I'll second that motion. I can't even believe you'd entertain the misogynistic comments of a bigot like Rush Limbaugh.

Might I suggest you rethink your ideas about how women perceive themselves?

I don't think women would be threatened by this thread.

It's probably more like the feeling one gets when stepping in dog poop.
