Sexual objectification of women and feminism.

No, I don't believe you.

The song is terrible. I remember loving that song when it came out, and i had no idea what the lyrics meant. Now i do, im cringing

I laughed so hard, when I saw the two idiots trying to argue on my thread a few days ago about the meaning of words, are now arguing on another thread about the meaning of a song and words. Some people are on studentroom for the direct purpose of arguing.

'Blurred lines' was a song that should have never been released, and that attempts to normalise rape. If you can't see why a song like that should not have young children singing along to it, memorising those lyrics, well. It has nothing to do with being the authoritative left, it has everything to do with being human, possessing a reasonable degree of common sense, and not wanting women to be portrayed as sexual objects that only exist to gratify men.

You didn't speak English at the time?


GTA, Call of Duty and Battlefield should have never been released because they familiarize young people with killing other people.

Same logic.

I didn't watch the videos but I can tell you straight away from looking at the titles that they are not brilliant debates.

Not at all. That's just your attempt at using the same logic that any reasonable minded person would have, to fit your agenda, in your attempt to make a valid point. As I said in the post, some people are only here on this website to argue, enjoy your life kid.

That's some solid evidence

No, I don't believe you.

So what does Jamaica have to do with choking then? Hint: nothing.

Here, since this doesn't quite seem to be penetrating your skull:

Hah. I created this thread for the sole purpose of discussion -- not argument. You're the only person getting hostile.

Can't you see how ironic it is that I, a female, am arguing that the 'sexual objectification' of women isn't harmful at all and you, a male (judging by your name), are arguing that women shouldn't be 'portrayed as sexual objects'? No one watching the music video for Blurred Lines is going to come away thinking "So women are just sexual objects that only exist to gratify men!". Ultimately what you're calling for when you say that the song should have never been released is censorship.

This is such a bad post that I just don't know where to start so I won't.

'I don't have a valid point to make, so I'll say nothing' brilliant post, well done.

The idea that a song can 'normalise rape' is damn stupid, too. Imagine if we started complaining about songs that 'normalised' murder, suicide, and theft. Not that Blurred Lines is even about rape in the first place.

As I interpreted it, the song is just about the games we play as human beings where it isn't always certain if somebody "wants it", especially when so many women can be into the "I wanted you to do it anyway" thing. But people over-interpreted it and took it way to seriously. They went nuts over freakin' song that most people don't even know all the lyrics to (and aren't that likely to pay attention to, anyway).
