@tranquilsea Women can do anything they want to. That includes stripping and the like. I think the most important piece of feminism is not being told what I should or shouldn’t be or doing…from anyone. Provocative and interesting. If I am to follow that it could mean that those women who have the assets have full freedom to use them, thus being empowered, so in a way exercising a facet of feminism hardly seen? Let me think about that….could be fascinating. In all seriousness
@Simone_De_Beauvoir if you’re going to go after video girls of Hip Hop, you really have bigger fish to fry within that world that contribute to why that kind of thing would be okay to get hired for. Sorry, it was intended to be larger than just hip hop or video girls. However, using a larger net would have caught some obscene fish that would have caused the net to be cut off the frame. Then no conversation at all happens on the subject. They hip hop girls were just the easy and safe fish.
@Mariah I have more of a problem with female singers writing lyrics that are all about how they’re nothing without their man, and the like. Thank you for bringing that up. I had not really thought of that angle of it seeing it is most of the time cleaved to processes or visuals, but lyrics, or their message, can get promoted undetected in a catchy tune as @Simone_De_Beauvoir admits to. I have friends that listen to a lot of that jungle jump music and most of the videos that go with them is about having money, criminality, and having a harem of curvaceous women around for when your 3rd leg gets bored. Most of those I have seen the women are bitches and hos, etc. And there are songs in other genres, “What’s Your Name?” by Lynyrd Skynyrd comes to mind. It is basically about a rocker picking up some young attractive groupie, I guess, taking her back to the hotel after the show for fun and entertainment, and I don’t mean poker, then leaving the next day without even a ride home; she gets put on a cab. Then he is off to another city to do it all again. He wants to see her next year when the tour comes through but don’t even care to know her name, she is basically just a body; hence the title “What’s Your Name?” The title can be deceptive and go under the radar if you get wrapped up in the catchy tune, and you will miss the real gist of the song.
