Sexual objectification of women and feminism.

It's very popular these days to complain about the 'sexual objectification' of women in the media...

All hell broke loose in 2013 when the music video for Robin Thicke's song 'Blurred Lines' was released. Just look at the comments section for the video on YouTube. There are comments which even suggest that Thicke himself is a rapist -- all for dancing with some pretty girls for a music video. Yet when the video for Drake's 'Hotline Bling' is released over two years later no one bats an eyelid at the 'objectification' of women in Drake's video. Out of the two, I'd presume Drake's video to be the most offensive (though of course I don't find it offensive) considering the women in this video are just filmed standing on a spot or dancing a bit -- whereas in Thicke's video the women were allowed to basically have a personality.

Why don't people (in particular feminists) care about Drake's video? Is it because Drake is already very popular? I've come to the conclusion that it's because the girls in Drake's video are a bit heavier than the girls in Thicke's videos. The women in Drake's video probably look more similar to the average woman -- and therefore the average feminist. So bearing all of what I've just written in mind, I've decided that this whole trend of complaining about 'sexually objectified' women is all about ego. And it is probably a trend that won't last too much longer.

I will refrain from elaborating as I've already written two paragraph; but what do you think? I'd love to discuss this.

Do you know what 'Blurred lines' means? It wasn't because of naked girls in the videos that people accused him of being a rapist.

Aww, you had to tell her that after she already typed all those words

Well I think she should have known that!

Everyone should, that song is disgusting, worse is that I actually liked it when I was younger and didn't know what it meant. Sad that 13/14 year olds were singing it around whilst walking around to our next lesson...

Anyone who has 2 paragraphs worth of opinion and has not even bothered to learn what people were upset about is not exactly going to change their mind.

I don't think the song is particularly bad. It's a modern pop song, which means it doesn't really have a meaning until you interpret in your own way. Thicke's defence that it was supposed to be ironic and everyone should have known that is ridiculous though. I think most people are like me and had no idea he had more than one song (until that really **** one with Flo.Rida came out).

Feminists are vile and sinister.

Why do you have a pic of 2 guys kissing?

Blurred Lines was rape apologism. People weren't complaining about the video, it was the 'I know you want it' ****.

That is such an assumption to make -- that the phrase 'blurred lines' has anything to do with rape. You've taken what I'm certain is an innocent phrase so out of context to suit your narrative. So odd.

And I don't think the lyrics are that subjective to let you interpret it your own way, c'mon...
