So true. The problem is that it is popular culture, not parents, who have the most influence on kids. Or adults.
It was funny to read that article. The chick actually made some coherent points. Agree or disagree, her line of reasoning was reasonable. And then you hit that lame-ass ending of “Chicks wiggle their asses in people’s faces because they’re conforming to the diktats of men.”
And this after all the propaganda about how pole dancers are just “sex workers,” empowered women using their girl-power to support their family or pay for college. But suddenly we realize that even when they are doing their own thing, they can never, ever escape Men Power.
The moral to this story: Leftism scrambles people’s brains. The need to portray oneself as a victim (which I suspect is the force behind her lame and dishonest conclusion) trumps facts. And as Dennis Prager often notes, truth is not a leftwing value. Boy, does it show. Or, girl, does it show.
Popular culture is not just obscene (which one could handle if that’s all there was to it). It’s bat-shit crazy. It turns people (who seem to need very little prompting) into feeble-minded creeps and political hacks.

I think Spencer himself has been denounced by Muslims for telling the truth about (e.g.) Mohammed having a child bride. Their complaint was that he portrayed it negatively. Perhaps Cuties did the same thing, especially with the husband abusing at least one of his wives. Or maybe CAIR is just unhappy that a popular movie exposed (part of) the seamy underside of Islam, the religion of Submission.
But things like this routinely happen with Muslims. Even mentioning pigs (much less pork) or dogs at school can sometimes be problematic.
Of course, we agree with CAIR, more or less, about the child porn aspect. This happens. Several years, when some Brits portrayed Jesus very negatively (I forget the details, sadly), there were no complaints from any local Christians. But a Muslim group objected because Jesus is their penultimate major prophet.

There is only one religion as dangerous to free people as Islam and that is communism. Both are capable of faux morality to advance the cause.

Well, yeah. Unless this guy is saying that all Islamic fathers are angels and that movies should be propaganda vehicles for Islam. On that last point, most of Hollywood agrees.
