Levy's experiences amid "Girls Gone Wild" appear again in "Female Chauvinist Pigs", in which she attempts to explain "why young women today are embracing raunchy aspects of our culture that would likely have caused their feminist foremothers to vomit." In today's culture, Levy writes, the idea of a woman participating in a wet T-shirt contest or being comfortable watching explicit pornography has become a symbol of strength; she says that she was surprised at how many people, both men and women, working for programs such as "Girls Gone Wild" told her that this new "raunch" culture marked not the "downfall" of feminism but its "triumph", but Levy was unconvinced.
