Sexual objectification of women and feminism.

How exactly?

No, it has everything to do with rape, have you heard the lyrics? I'm not just making this up.

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

Some of those lyrics are wrong.
"That man is not your maker" means the guy she's currently with isn't a God and shouldn't be controlling her.

"Shake your rump
Get down, get up-a
Do it like it hurt, like it hurt
What you don't like work
Hey!"

This appears to be a reference to dancing, not sex

"I know you want it" is the only sketchy part of the song, and it's fine for people not to like it for that reason alone.

"Baby, can you breathe
I got this from Jamaica"

You seem like a good, law abiding kid and I don't want to ruin that for you, but he isn't talking about choking her here.

You are just assuming things, typical feminist making invalid accusations.

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.

That video is typical of third wave feminists. A couple of white middle class women, whose only experience with the 'patriarchy' is being catcalled. Is a music video really why we need feminism? Does the developed world need feminism at all? I generally think not.

Why we need feminism:

'Baby, can you breathe...I got this from Jamaica' is about choking her

What would you want to see happen to Thicke's song/music video? Censor it?

lol... it really, really isn't. I don't want to explain what comes from Jamaica and makes it difficult to breathe and is often referenced in pop songs, so just trust me. He isn't choking her.

You sound like the kind of person who listens to the radio edit of Trap Queen and thinks "gosh, these two sure will have to sell a lot of pies if they want to end up with matching Lamborghinis! I wonder what all those censored words are about."

You think it should've been censored to the extent of not even being allowed to be released? Oh my.
