Are some feminist attacking Bey? đ
If you mean white, stupid feminists, yes. Annie Lennox is not the first one, and she wonât be the last.Â
And yes, sheâs stupid because she only focused on the twerking part or whatever, instead of all the things BeyoncĂ©âs done for girls and modern feminism.Â
If you have some reading, you can learn twerking is just not a booty shake. Itâs not (only) a sexy/sexual dance. It has roots. It has history. You have to learn it. You have to practice. Itâs considered a pro-dance by lots of people. Men also do it in some cultures.Â
So the first thing we have to do is LEARN about twerking and then DESEXUALIZE it as itâs the only consideration it got, because itâs hurting itself, its culture and its appreciation.
I invite you to read some of these articles: (x) (x) (x) and think about it.
Following the point, one of the things feminism claims and wants is the desexualization of the woman body. The woman body is beautiful and itâs not just a sexual object. If you can only see tits and pussy in a woman body, it is YOUR PROBLEM. You have the dirty mind, not the woman. Women can show their bodies and donât be labelled as sluts. Feeling comfortable with your body is NOT BAD. Itâs not slutty. It makes your self-steem higher, it helps you to make yourself confident and stronger. It empowers women, and empowers other women to do it.Â
Another thing is the control over women. People feel the right to tell women what or what not they can do. What is good to do and what is bad. Even women themselves. Who is Annie Lennox to tell who/which is feminist/feminism and which/who is not?
And the final point is equality. Why is it right when boys show their fit bodies through short and little pieces of clothing, but itâs wrong when a woman do it? Why are we surrounded by nude man bodies (famous people, magazines, television, ads, performances, etc) and we are OK with that but we donât act the same with women? Why a woman canât feel comfortable enough to put on a short dress or a maillot and show some skin in front of thousands of people? Would we act the same if the one shaking his ass and showing their abs was a boy? Iâm pretty sure we wouldnât.
I could go on but I think you got the point.
I also read Annie wants to sit with BeyoncĂ© (and some other artists) and ask about some things. I really hope Bey sits with her one day and put her shit together.Â
*I want to clarify I admire Annie Lennox because of her previous work, sheâs a great artist, but she fucked it up here and sheâs wrong for it.
