You might want to check out this dust up between feminists at the Huffington Post and Jezebel. It's creating quite the battle royale in the leftie blogosphere. The conversation is practically a competition for who can dole out the worst advice (with comments like "People are always saying it's not safe to go home with strange men, blah, blah blah, like Mr. Goodbar whatever.") Quotes and video clips (warning: adult language) available here.
An Inkwell reader who sent me the article summed things up nicely: "It's an astonishing conflagration of some of the worst advice ever dished out to young women."

It is hardly a battle royale. Instead, it is more of an intelligent conversation about what it means to be a good role model (and how the two women from Jezebel may not have realized how they would come across) and not pretend to be someone you're not.
Men give eachother bad advice about dating/sex etc. all the time, but when a woman does it, OMG! It's the end of the world!
