Exactly. Their attire/behavior weren’t necessary.

So you'd prefer naked?

No need to clutch pearls about it. And so what if JLo was on a pole, is doing a dance that involves a pole inherently worse than a similar dance without a pole? Plus I thought “born in the USA” + a Puerto Rican flag was very clever.

I guess people thought Elvis and the Beatles were overly sexual too...

Not to mention Michael Jackson.

I got $5 says if they came out like this you'd say, "It's 2020, these are professional, talented, established women. So why do they need to cover their bodies?"

Exactly! Love this!

Barbara Streisand+Bette Midler.

That show only works if Becky, Karen and Jimbo are gay.

If they were gay, they would have loved JLo's performance. That sh*t was straight out of the gay club and not the strip club.

True. True. It was lit!

Right and how many things from the gay club would you like your kids to see?

OMG! We don't want our kids to see the gays!

Stop it. You know what I mean. Or do you? Have you actually been to any gay clubs? Cause I have been to many and they are no place for children. Nor is a strip club or many other clubs for that matter. That's what last night's performance was like. Like you brought your kid to the club.

That has been happening for generation and generation in strip clubs. I don't particularly think it is all that empowering. It that is what others want for their daughters - great. Teach them to take their clothes off and pole dance and shake their bodies and simulate sex for men's enjoyment. We don't look to strip clubs as our model for female empowerment.

As someone said we don't teach boys to take off their clothes and use their bodies for women's enjoyment.

It’s past your bedtime.

I agree with pp 100%.
Women's empowerment, my ass.
This was objectification of women.

Totally agree! Objectification of women for profit - the oldest industry in the world and the easiest way to demean women. The furthest thing from empowerment.

Exactly. No respectable woman should want to look like a sex toy.

At the time, yes. Their moves were horrifying.

A thread of sad middle-aged women jealous they don't and never have been as attractive as J-Lo and Shakira!

Typical anglo stereotypes of us, delivered with very poor taste.

We expected much more of two amazing artists.

No you didn’t and no you weren’t. Bc if you have followed JLo then you would know she’s been doing this since she started.

Eres latina o simplemente una anglo imbecil?

So J-Lo wasn't mimicking sex?

No I don’t know what you mean. Straight clubs are fine for children? If not why specify?

I don’t remember a bunch of Hispanic women dancing at gay clubs.

Also please stop culture Dirty Dancing!

Was it also horrifying to have blacks on TV?

To people with functioning brains and eyeballs, yes.
To the radical feminists yapping about empowering women, not at all.
