Angry Green Girls: Softcore PETA
The larger problem is that mainstream environmental publications like Treehugger see environmentalism as a compartmentalized “issue” that has nothing to do with women’s rights. In that view, exploiting women’s bodies is bad, unless, of course, it’s for a “good green cause.” Then it’s just “using sex” to sell environmentalism—and who could disagree with that? I mean, what are you, a prude?
The other “Angry Green Girls” videos show bikini-clad women lathering up Priuses and “rejecting” men who don’t happen to drive hybrids—the subtext being that if you choose the right car, these women will be sexually available to you. Here, the message is that women are objects to be obtained through the right male behavior—no different, really, than suggesting that if you buy her dinner, she’d better put out.
