Lily Tomlin Thinks That Feminism Causes Blowjobs | Herstory | Scoop.it
Lily Tomlin has been a feminist longer than I’ve been alive, so when she says things have changed for women in terms of comedy, character acting, and raising girls to be feminist, I believe her.

 

"One of the fallouts of feminism is that girls became more accessible. Maybe not wisely accessible. A lot of young girls-- they're expected to give blow jobs now. Young, young girls, as far as I can perceive. Maybe 12 or 13 years old. I mean, that's a rite of passage, I suppose. As a feminist, I don't want those girls to be used. Maybe they love giving blow jobs, I don't know. Maybe they do? But I don't think you really love giving boys in general blow jobs without any feeling to someone you're not close to. I don't try to speak for people that young. I'm not that young anymore. But my own sense of self-- I wouldn't give myself away that easily."
