Days after President Obama fired the CEO of General Motors, and instructed GM and Chrysler to fix up fast or drive headlong into bankruptcy, college basketball's annual bonanza, the Final Four, has arrived in the Motor City to provide a much-needed distraction. What's even sweeter: Michigan State University, located just 90 miles west of Detroit in East Lansing, made the national semifinals this year, giving the locals more reason to cheer (unless, of course, they bleed the University of Michigan's maize and blue and wouldn't dare root...

Yet, if these tensions are an inevitable component of the representational politics of feminism, perhaps the best that feminists can do is ensure the unencumbered expression of each ideal. In this case, feminists should accept that sexualized images in Rolling Stone and other media outlets, while certainly not neutral, are neither innately empowering...
