Superbowl halftime - scantily dressed women and very covered up men

[Anonymous]

OP here, wow, lots of people with lots of different thoughts. Mine wasn't about disliking their bodies, their dancing or their music: I just wish both wore more clothing in primetime on national television.

Women can wear what they want in this country. We don’t have to be modest if we choose not too.

My boys are 13 and 15. We were at a party with other tween and teen kids, no one got up and left. Why are you all teaching your boys that a women’s body is something to feel embarrassed about appreciating?

They work out hard, they are athletes that train for hours for their dance routines. Simply denigrating them as just “scantily clad women” is incredibly misogynistic.

Agree 100%

I thought it was great and loved the dancing. But many kids are not ready to see that kind of a show. It's not the women's bodies, it's the sexuality. They aren't ready for it. They are too young.

Oh stop. Of course they can wear what they want and take the critique that comes with it. Much of what they do well was completely overshadowed by the choices they made in order to entertain millions of men with their bodies. They knew that they awere doing. The goal si get and keep viewers and get talked about. They accomplished that.

If a male performer got up there in a speedo, rubbed his crotch, gyrated, did lots of chippendale moves, and generally over sexualized a musical performance, I would feel the exact same way. It would also be a choice I would criticize and it would also accomplish the goal of getting people talking. Since women aren't as physically oriented, it might not keep women watching.

It’s only feels overshadowed by conservative pearl clutchers who view women as sexual beings that need to be covered up and modest in order to be taken seriously.

If you can’t get past your distaste for their clothing and bodies to see the talent and hard work put into their performance than that’s a you problem.




They are performers.

And if they imitate that dance move at the next school dance, they'll be in huge trouble.

You mean like the lead singer of Maroon 5 did in last year's show? Here's the video, and he removes his shirt around 12:25:

Love that you are so clueless that you don’t know Adam’s name.

Yes, totally! I am 46 with a teenage daughter.

Looked like two menopausal strippers putting on a desperate show. Was waiting for Stormy Daniels to come out. Disgusting and vulgar.

This is one reason I like Billie Eilish. See how she dresses.

The old people were performing. Looked like aging trollops in a dive strip joint. Are these women broke or too attention starved to hang it up?

The two women on that stage have over $700 million between them.

How much are you worth?

The performance includes the costume choices and the dance moves.They made choices. Their choice wasn't to put their music as the focus. No one is commenting on their music. They are getting attention for what they wanted - their bodies, their clothes or lack there of, and their sexualization of their dance moves and themselves. Lots of women love to be objectified and gawked at by men. I am not saying it is a wrong choice, just not the one I would make and not the type of role modeling of women I want to give my kids. Lots of memes and gifs being made and circulated of their crotch rubbing and tongueing and other moves. They went for the lowest common denominator. Basic sex appeal. So empowering for women!

Whatever. So jealous that you won’t look like that at their age.
