That is quite a powerful statement, and in my opinion that need to shed clothing and use ones sexuality to garner favours and progress, is a form of aggressiveness, which I am not sure entirely works.

I have only recently started reading feminist text (starting with Germaine Greer), and contrary to what I thought, that self proclaimed feminists desired total equality, that women somehow were just like men, Greer at least celebrated the difference of women, and that somehow we were selling ourselves short by merely seeking to be like men. Her book was scarily insightful!
