Girl power means never having to admit you read

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham (aka: Posh Spice) recently admitted that reading isn't really her thing. "I haven't read a book in my life," she said. "I haven't got enough time. I prefer to listen to music, although I do love fashion magazines." Ahhh, thanks Posh. This world really needed one more woman preaching the wonders of ignorance to young ladies everywhere! Reese Witherspoon waxed poetic about this whole problem in a recent interview: . . . creating a cultural icon out of someone who goes, 'I'm stupid, isn't it cute?' makes me want to throw daggers at them! I want to say to them, 'My grandma did not fight for what she fought for, and my mother did not fight for what she fought for, so you can start telling women it's fun to be stupid.' I don't know if she was trying to be ironic, but she makes a good point.
