Why might some people in the media object to Robin Thicke's song and video for 'Blurred lines'?
WWW: some very good points, real depth to response, theory + issues included
EBI: look again at McRobbie: does this video empower women or degrade them? Does this suggest feminism is still required?
LR: answer the above questions
I believe this video doesn't empower women at all, it degrades them in a sense that they're portraying themselves in a bad manner. As, the girls body language and movement conveys the sexual connotations the women have. This is shown in a male view as Robin Thicke has the idea that "even good girls have a bad side" this is objectifying women, as good or bad, which is an outdated view. Moreover, men currently have more power than women, suggesting feminism is required in order to allow women to have an equal feel against men. The media objects towards post-feminism, as they would argue that women should no longer be seen any different than men. However, Judith Bulter believes that traditional feminists are wrong to divide the society into parts of men and women. He strongly holds beliefs for believing gender isn't biologically fixed. Judith believes it is socially constructed, as he states gender roles are a performance.
