It was very empowering. Don’t go by the old farts on DCUM.

PP. Exactly! When they brought out the PR flag, I pictured all those MAGA heads exploding.

Sorry. I voted for Trump and loved the show. I felt it was empowering for women and wish I looked half as good as either of them! People are too stuffy here. My daughter was not uncomfortable. It was so much better than last year. I’m sure the only one uncomfortable was DH lol

Your DH was uncomfortable because he knows he was watching two women disrespect themselves for the audience of white males

You should talk to your son about respecting women and their choices. Then explain to him that there are men who respect women and don’t feel the need to grope woman just bc they can. Hopefully you can raise him to be better than what he thinks of men now.

This was my exact thought! As a young person, I went to many punk shows and the girls who crowd surfed got groped while the girls who jumped in the mosh pit got punched.

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.

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.

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:

That’s nasty too!! Why must the NFL claim to be for families. I posted this already but they donate to schools, they put programs to be role models for kids.

Not everyone is a pearl clutcher. Please. I’m Hispanic and again they look good but like pp said they made choices to sell sex as their performance. They are hot, look great and are talented. They really don’t need to pole dance, grabs their grotch to prove it. What was the tongue thing, imitating oral sex?

What?! No. It was a nod to her Lebanese roots. JC lady.

Seriously. She was ululating. PP’s mind is in the gutter.

He was respecting the women.

The *women* simply weren’t respecting themselves. That’s okay. They’re adults; it’s their choice.

Nah. I’m proud that he recognized inappropriate sexual content that wasn’t necessary in a super bowl halftime show. Parenting win for me and the values I’m teaching my family. YMMV.

OMFG! That poster just admitted she raised her son to think if a woman dresses in dance clothes and shakes her hips men will grope her and she is to blame.

Don’t care about the political statement. Just the talent. Shakira blew JLo out of the water. JLo’s daughter though, sang beautifully and the kids with her were great as well. Not a JLo fan, nor am I a fan of either women’s type of music or any type of concert that puts on a show.

And if you can’t sing without auto tune and just one instrument, your talent is limited.

No. You taught your son that women get gropped by men and it's their fault. Disgusting.

They wear the same things gymnasts wear and they were dancing. WTF is wrong with you and your son.

+1

Your child’s statement speaks more to your narrow worldview, how you’re raising him to judge women and while teaching him it’s perfectly expected that men will grope anytime they can.

Will he grow up groping women that he judges to look too “sexual”? Or blame his sister for the way a man treats her based on her outfit?

Jay Z who famously criticized the NFL in solidarity with Colin K quickly changed his tune when the NFL entered into a business partnership with Jay. Hypocrite. He and Beyoncé didn’t stand for the national anthem (which was beautifully done by a bizarrely orange Demi Lovato), but they happily cashed the nfl check for “producing” the halftime show.

My two cents: Jay led the boycott of black artists away from doing the halftime show. Then the nfl paid him. He helped line up cool latinas instead of AA performers. And he has a vested interest in preserving Beyoncé’s famous formation performance. More directly: jay didn’t want JLo to outshine Beyoncé’s performance. He wanted it to be good, but not as good as his wife’s show.

He’s a sellout. That’s fine. Whatever.

But the scarier part is that he is so powerful the nfl had to pay him in order to get any stars on board.

I feel like they’d fit in better in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia.
