What is Your Gender Identity?
Did you hear about all of the hullabaloo after the 2013
VMA's
on MTV? If you're like me, you probably
didn't
watch it, but, nonetheless, you probably couldn't avoid the
tweets, Facebook posts, media and -- yes -- even other
celebrities' reactions to Miley Cyrus' 'twerking' during her now
notorious performance.
Some people were making fun of her because of her tongue out,
calling her a slut/whore/gross, and, generally, a negative-shock
reaction to this 21-year-old's show at what is always known as
an over-the-top "awards" show (and I use the term "awards"
loosely -- ha).
In stepping back from the 'uproar' that followed her
performance -- from an
intellectual
perspective -- it was so interesting that the intense focus on
MILEY's
behavior -- the
female
in the male-female performance -- and that there was virtually
no
reaction to Robin Thicke, a man nearly old enough to be her
father. There's been much controversy about his "Blurred Lines"
song and whether (or not) it is somehow subtly promoting non-
consensual sex -- think of the tone and intent of the lyric "You
know you want it".
Regardless of what one thinks of Thicke's song (I admit, it's
catchy), I was most struck that the scrutiny and criticism of the
performance was directed solely at the female (Miley Cyrus).
Double standard? Or no?
What do you think? Before you answer, take a look at this
article for a male's critical perspective.
Read the whole thing -
- it's not long.
