“What if the cure for cancer is trapped inside the mind of the baby you’re considering aborting?”

[heartbreakes]

what if the cure for cancer would have eventually developed inside the mind of a teenage girl who made a mistake and was forced to drop out of school and never receive an education in order to raise a child she did not want.

Marina did an excellent job with The Archetypes. I noticed that the shoot for the “Su-Barbie-A” or “Housewife” archetype resembles the photograph of Sylvia Plath (right) with her two children in 1963. During this time, women faced “societal pressures to devote themselves to being housewives.” It was an identity imposed upon many women and often those with higher ambitions were ashamed to admit their dissatisfaction with the lives they were leading and felt as if there were something wrong with them. This can be seen in Sylvia Plath’s semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar. Esther Greenwood, the main character, is presented with numerous achievements and opportunities. However, there is always an underlying feeling of futility surrounding her because, despite all she has achieved, she is destined for the life of a housewife. In Marina And The Diamonds’ “Part 3: The Archetypes,” an eerily robotic voice reveals the inner struggle: “I have no identity. I always feel like someone else.” This message is once again delivered in “Part 5: Su-Barbie-A,” which features a young housewife standing in front of a nice suburban home. Her face is not visible (it remains in the darkness for most of the video). At one point in the video, a distant, auto-tuned feminine voice says, “If you’re going to tell me you don’t like this dress I’m sticking my head right in the oven,” something that also seems to allude to Sylvia Plath’s tragic death.

I really do wish that people would realize how complex Electra Heart truly was. The album, story, and character were intricately plotted to study female identity in society. 

The Archetypes: “A study in identity and delusion.”

What would Jesus not do?

[sparklingganymede]

Things Jesus would do:

Flip tables

Turn water into fine wine to save your wedding party

Tell the weather outside to STOP

Curse trees for producing shitty fruit

Bring people back from the dead

Go fishing

Give you food

Whatever the hell he wants to on the Sabbath

Make furniture

Walk across the ocean because you need to stop

Well ok Kesha, maybe it’s because you’re an auto tuned peice of shit who shouldn’t be famous, you have no Buisness being in the music industry, it’s not even your music you fuck, someone else wrote it for you to record and them to auto tune yourself. And it’s not at all good . It’s not positive either. So complain some more.

[eymo]

I don’t know if you know this, tumblr user koolkidseatgreens, but Ke$ha is a certified genius. She has an IQ over 140 and an SAT score of 1500. When she was younger she would go to the library and do research for fun. Ke$ha is a both feminist and an advocate for equal marriage/rights for people of any sexuality, being a queer woman herself.

Ke$ha is a smart, professional woman, and just because she sings songs about wanting to let loose and have fun every once in a while doesn’t make her a piece of shit.

Ke$ha’s songs are meant to point out the sexism in our media. She treats men the same way many men in the music industry treat women, and she is hated on for it. Relentlessly. She sings on multiple occasions about taking charge in a sexual relationship, of how she only uses men for their body parts. She sexualizes men to make them uncomfortable. She sexualizes men for a reaction, so that people can both see why women are so uncomfortable with their sexualization and also to point out the inequality between the sexes both in the media and in the world at large.

She is judged so harshly for singing about things that make many men famous.

If you listen to Ke$ha’s deconstructed album you will see that she actually has some talent, which may be hard to hear because she does in fact use a fair amount of autotune. This is because of her genre and because of the kind of music she chooses to create as an artist. Ke$ha may not write her songs, but this doesn’t meant she isn’t a good artist or a good person. This doesn’t mean she deserves your harsh words. Some singers are good at writing, but that’s hardly a requirement. Last time I checked whether or not you can sing has nothing to do with whether or not you’re a poet.

You should not be calling anyone a piece of shit, my friend, especially someone you’ve never sat down and had a conversation (or even taken the time to wonder about her feelings!), but if anyone deserves that kind of language it’s not Ke$ha.

You may think that by shaming women for expressing their sexuality and having fun every once in a while, that you are somehow abolishing sexism. That in weeding out the less ‘deserving’ women you are gaining our sex more respect. This is not the case, and the fact that you and many others feel such a strong need to shame this woman who has done nothing wrong, especially not to you, shows that we still have a very far away to go.

[quinnmorgendorffer]

Um I’m just going to add, Ke$ha actually does write her own songs. For example, here’s her first album’s tracklist:

She has also ritten for other artists, probably most famously “‘Till The World Ends” by Britney Spears, which is part of why she’s on the remix of it. She wrote for years and was even the female voice on Flo Rida’s “Right Round” but refused to be credited because she didn’t want her first single to not be her own work. She spent years, starting at the age of 15, writing music before she came out with her album because she wanted to make sure it was all her own and all what she wanted to do.

You can even get all her unreleased music which, combined with her actual albums, is 10.3 hours according to my iTunes playlist. Some artists have been around for twice as long as her and haven’t written that many songs. 

Not only have critics proclaimed she could be a country star if she ever leaves the pop music business (which is showcased on her unreleased track “Goodbye”), but she’s actually the daughter of a very talented country songwriter. Her music is actually fairly well praised by the music critics community and if you listened to any of her songs that her record won’t let her release as singles—“Last Goodbye”, “The Harold Song”, “Only Wanna Dance With You”, any of her ballads—she can write multiple styles of songs. She’s just stuck in a box of what she can release and then shallow minded people call her dumb for having fun.

That’s a big fuck you for hating Ke$ha.

[ofgeography]

the thing about ke$ha is

SHE’S FUCKING GREAT. 

[sheretic]

I like calling them “boy,” “dudebro,” “douchebro,” “fedora,” and “neckbeard.” Ever call someone a “fucking neckbeard” with as much vitriol as you can muster? 5/5, would recommend.

Some other things that I find to be effective would be:

Ignore him Not at your own expense! I mean in a dismissive way. Inspiration: pretend you’re a cat. As a cat you are above him. Pay attention to him when it’s convenient for you, at all other times he is less significant than a speck of dust.

Don’t laugh at his jokes They’re not gonna be funny anyway. Bored stares, a single raised eyebrow, and lazy rolling eyes are optional. Bonus points: laugh at him because the real joke is his life.

Call him boring! You’ve heard all his shit before, all of us have. That’s exactly  what all his trite sexist shit is, and that’s what he is - boring! And everyone knows it and no one likes him. 

Forget his name You don’t even like him! Who cares what his name is? What was it anyway, John? Josh? Jason? Maybe Jude? Oh, James, right, whatever.

Compliment him backhandedly Laugh as if it’s all in good fun. “Just kidding!” Rinse, repeat.

The Handshake This is a personal favourite. If he says something shitty and you call him out and explain that he’s said a shitty thing and he starts to act like it’s a debate and you’re bored of talking to him then, as he’s saying shit you’re bored of hearing, start talking over him like “alrghit, alright dude, OK” and then tell him to shake your hand. As you’re shaking hands look him square in the eye and be like “but listen, [slight pause for effect] you’re still a massive asshole.” I have found thru trial and error the boys do not like this.

I didn’t think I’d have this much to say on the subject and yet here we all are. Anyway, I hope you find this helpful. Go forth and spread misandry. ♥

I fell asleep, and when I woke up the man next to me asked, ‘Excuse me, are you someone important?’ I must have looked confused. He explained: ‘I’m asking because the stewardesses came over and were watching you sleep.’
