The Goddess,
Feminist Theory, TupperWare and
The Mud Flap Women
Conventional wisdom has pegged the Feminist movement to a fixed date in
History.
The earliest stirrings of Popular Feminism began with the TupperWare Party.
Few dispute the locus of Feminist Theory that sprung from TupperWare to
become a Goddess Cult that Changed the face of the American Landscape.
From humble beginnings, both Popular Feminism and TupperWare coexisted
for almost three decades. Like most political movements, the Feminists
couched their interests in gatherings revolving around TupperWare; Tupperware
being the perfect front for organizing and networking, disseminating information
and gathering new converts.
Little known: the insignia of the movement was manifest in the watermark
at the bottom of the TupperWare Product. When looking at a freshly washed
tupper tub, before rinsing, if one holds the object to the light, one
can see the profile
of Emma Goldman faintly embossed in the bottom of all tupperware products;
once rinsed and dried the mark is invisible.
Covert and Conspiratorial: Among the members of the opposite sex this
frantic, bordering on manic, movement by normal everyday house wives was
perceived as a threat to the authority of members of the male gender.
Counter Revolutionary agents: For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction. Males were driven to react to this challenge to the authority
of the Average American Working White Male by any means at hand. The symbolic
response first began to appear in the early 1970s in the form of signifying
sexual solidarity with the graphic depiction of a female (Goddess) on
the backs of their automotive vehicles. Truckers were among early adopters
to this attempt to supplicate the female to her prerevoutionary status.
At this juncture in gender roles, the confrontation has reached some level
of stasis. Both movements have acquired other symbols for their respective
sympathies.
Example: NASCAR has broad male appeal with crossover support among disaffected
females. Male Strippers have replaced Tupperware to the disappointment
of some but the estatic approval of females sharing the same objectification
fetishism as males.
Radical Feminism and the Men's Causus bicker over the nettling details
of their gender through discourse and symbolism but the sexual tensions
remain, a seeming cosmic complaint of gender in the cast and lot of human
existence. This confrontation between genders carries on today but the
Feminist Lens has moved far beyond the Radical Feminist brau burning hairy
legged lesbian seeking soulmates to convert to kaki pants and work shirts.
Resources for and reference to the Mudflap Woman or Mud Flap Girl are
being preserved and cataloged by the Men's Caucus for Women of the Arts.

The PROMISE MAKERS are in may ways in direct competition with the PROMISE KEEPERS. The similarity between the two organizations is easily defined. The PROMISE KEEPERS are a lot that keep promises that they never made and the PROMISE MAKERS are dedicated to making promises they have no intention of keeping. This distinction is minor when considering the good they both do. It is important to note there is little affiliation between the two organizations. However, many members of the PROMISE MAKERS are also members in good standing with the PROMISE KEEPERS.

Goddess worship comes in many forms:
The Mud-flap Women is iconic and profound, a source of renewal and vitality.
Most men know of the power of the Mud Flap Women as Goddess on a visceral
level but the intellectual processes are ambiguous and less well defined.
The Promise Makers have archived references and linage from the distant
past -- icons of the Mud Flap Women. Goddesses come in many forms but
relate to the same theme, a source of power –- fecundity. There is
a need for much more thought on this topic to clearify feminist doctrine.
In order to conclude a unified field theory on the status of the Mud Flap
Woman -- the Promise Makers and the Men's Caucus for Women of the Arts
has archived a rich body of knowledge. They are tasked to the challenge.

Radical Feminists for Goddess Worship
Fertility Goddesses come in many forms, the Mud Flap Lady is just one amoug many but her power to inspire and provoke remains enigmatic, reconciled in counterdiction and confusion.
Promise Makers archives:
"As long as there are mud flaps there will be Mud Flap Ladies."
Have you ever wanted to know what happened to the Mud Flap Women? She's
still trucken however her supporters have diminished. There are many
reasons for her decline, foremost, is Feminism, a coalition that believes
that sex and gender are not objectifiable. The Promise Makers knows
better, a campaign has been launched to reserrect the Goddeses, including
the MudFlap Women. If the Venus of Villendorf can be worshiped, her
powers and symbology is essentially the same as the Mud Flap Women.
Directly decentant from fertility symbology, the Mud Flap Women symbol
is a icon for mobility in the last century. A Venus of Villendorf, a
neolithic symbol, would not fit on a mud flap with any aesthetic perportion
or sensibility, thus the Mud Flap Women.
Far less sexist than a Playboy Bunny, the Mud Flap Women is a icon with
a long and proud past. "As long as there are mud flaps there will
be Mud-Flap Women, they will be there to symoblically reference productivity,
reproductivity, fruitfulness, fecundity and fertility,"
