How do people talk to each other?
Because the world is full of really, really iffy issues. Say, my earlier post about uality. Say, the response it got. One single response:
That s is not . Fact
Okay. Before I address the message of this comment, let me address the tone. Maybe I had sounded morally self-righteous. Maybe I deserve this slam down of "Educate yourself" like I am some ignaramous who don't know about s, because you know, it's not represented in pop culture too much. Okayyyyy. This is sarcasm, if you want me to be explicit.
I do know what s are, and I do know 2ne1 did a tame version of it, with Dara just basically straddling a guy and giving him a kiss on the cheek. I get that. I do...
Am I against expression of uality?
I don't think so, at least, if it's not for show.
Maybe I contradict myself, but that what makes me morally ambiguous. I am not saying that it's wrong (the act, the dance), I am just saying that it's disappointing.
Am I being ist when it is the people who enjoy the y show because an empowered woman should be able to express her uality without consequence? Am I really, really ist? Maybe I am. Maybe I should just accept that....
But once upon a time, 2ne1 had the lyrics, "you don't need a man to party," but now it seems like we do, at least someone to sit on and kiss or something.
I am not against romance, and and rock and roll, but sometimes I wish there was more in popular culture, and that makes me a bigot who is judging women who want to express their uality? Is it really wrong to want something more for an idol, I actually adore?
Now, I ask who do I talk to people without being called ignorant when I actually want to engage in a dialogue... tell me why you need to tamely someone in a concert when we gave Gdragon such a hard time about it. Have women been so historically oppressed that now any ual expression is not disdained, questioned or criticized, because for some reason we don't want to be objectified but we do ually objectifying things? I am just confused.
I mean, because 2ne1 is a more mature artist and they portray strong femalehood what does it mean to be a strong woman exactly? And I mean this as a question, not as an imposition.
ually, because this is about uality, I think women are entitled to have good with their preferred ual partners without the social stigma of being a just because they like . But where do we draw a line, because society is all about lines and rules. This is culture. We are in a global community, and we are constructing a global culture. So let's talk about that...
First off, I have never been into " in the Club" kind of messages, or "Blame it on the alcohol" or "Blurred Lines" where men sees women as their they shove their and possibly glorify in their penile size by ripping a woman open. Or bragging about public and the nitty gritty of conscience and ... maybe this is my values showing... It's such a surprise that I have one. I think that should be private, not private, private kept in the bedroom private, but with the sentiment of privacy. Expression of it, in literature and in music, subjectively speaking, I think should be with that ual intimacy (or not, but expressed as lacking). I mean I enjoy a lot of ual expression, I like Jojo's In the Dark with lyrics "I know this can be wrong" because it sounds informed. That this ual promiscuity may be wrong, but it... you know... I just dislike the mentality of disregard that this is all just for fun, when popular idols are icons little girls imitate. Yes, women should be allowed ual enjoyment, but I want it morally informed... is that too much to ask?
It's not like I didn't enjoy/like CL's sensual dips in the original MV, because it was saying something, I understood that this is an expression of obsession and I loved it. The ghost of love and lust and obsession, that is so wonderfully, devastatingly beautiful.
But the AON performance of a mock , it makes , or at least innuendo, as a spectacle to be cheered on.
I just have found out that maybe I have morals after all, that's devastating.
But yeah, if you can tell me why the was necessary to embody strength in womanhood then please, please enlighten me. Please try to not be rude, because I am trying to not be either.
If you think I am hating on 2ne1, I am not. I just am a little disappointed... and I don't know, if you find that offensive then something is wrong with you... I am just trying to read them you know? And maybe I'm shallow and I don't get it... which is why I am asking someone to tell me why this is a good avenue of gender expression. Please.
I mean I like Irene Adler of BBC's Sherlock and she's a dominatrix, her power is in her but she made it so that it was explicit. But that's a ist depiction, her is her strenth, her feelings is her weakness. You know, the usual. Is that 2ne1 now?
Has it been 2ne1 before?
Am I ing dumb that I really need to get put down? No, don't answer that.
