A question about 'Blurred lines'

Or even just moderately attractive models. My gut feeling is that a considerable portion of the reason it attracted so much hate was the fact that Emily Ratajkowski was in it. This woman isn't merely beautiful. She's probably one of the most flawless beauties that have ever lived. She's scary attractive.

Notice that, alongside all this stuff, she had to field accusations that her boobs were fake. That's a pretty good indicator that people felt intimidated by her beauty.

This is, of course, understandable. Guys do exactly the same thing all the time when they accuse other men of using steroids. It doesn't make people wrong when they field their arguments. But I do think in general people need to be a bit more self-aware about this sort of stuff.

Very astute observation. I know a guy who's a pro photogropher. He does all these tableau high concepts shoots of naked women. Draped everywhere. Naked women all over the place.

Feminists eat his work up. They are constantly sucking his dick.

Two things. He claims to be a woman trapped in a man's body. Not transgendered, but a woman cursed to live as a man. All the naked women are either lesbians, obese, or both.

And I have seen this motherfucker get loaded sloppy drunk and come on to feminists in the most... gross manner possible. I wouldn't say that he gets "rapey" because I don't think he'd ever force himself on someone. But I have seen him draping himself over a woman who is either not really interested, or drawn in by his art world cred but not interested.

He gets a pass, though, because he beats the feminist drum. He behaves often in a manner that I find overly touchy, objectifying, and entitled. But he follows rule #1. He never disagrees with a woman. Never. I've seen him say one thing, and then five minutes later when a woman contradicts his statement directly (without knowledge of what he said), agree with her completely.

I don't know to answer your question but I can't wait for all of the conversation (by all sides) about this drivel to end. It's a stupid video. Can we all just move on?

Blurred likes is a gender reversal, or a jainbreak of he patriarchy.

It would be much less confusing for us if we knew that and much easier for us to find closure on it.

Lets not turn it into something like the objections to the cop in Toronto, where we spend years in a state of confusion because we don' undersand the point thats being made.

No, it's a song about the blurred lines between consensual sex and rape. The video itself is only a small part of the problem, the actual MEANING of the words to those who actively listen is the main objectionable part of that song.
