Uh, excuse me,these are proud Latinas who answer to no one. |
Because Bettys and Karen’s can’t dance like that. |

OP back again, and have not continued to read all these pages. It is NOT about jealousy of bodies or ability to dance or political statements. You guys are completely missing my point.
The point is the barely there clothing worn by these powerful, talented, beautiful, established, women. WHY? Powerful men do not feel the need tondo the same with their bodies, why do women feel the need? |
| It is an American tradition to engage in moral ourage about the performance the day after the superbowl. |
Because men and women are different. BTW, most guys like feminine and sexy women, not feminists. Most of the people complaining on this thread are big betties. |
You mean like why do you wear a bikini and your husband doesn’t wear a speedo? |
Don’t want all those feminists with the Becky’s and Karen’s. Most feminist believe women should be able to do with their body what they want to do and not have it regulated by Becky Karen and Mike Pence. |
You need to ask yourself why do you equate hiding your body with respecting yourself. You clearly have been taught your whole life, socialized, that hiding your body is what respectful women do when they respect themselves. That is simply not true and it’s so ingrained in your way of thinking you can’t see it. |
We didn’t watch the Super Bowl because I had an inkling that it would be inappropriate based on the prior year’s performance. This thread confirmed my suspicions. Oh well. We will continue to find something else to replace the Super Bowl with. This year we grilled, played family games and pigged out on Super Bowl foods and then we listened to an audio chapter book as a family while roasting s’mores in the fireplace. |
I applaud you OP, for making thought provoking commentary. It’s true, it’s not empowering women it is in fact degrading. Degrading to see a woman reduced to slabbing herself like a piece of meat for slaughter. Successful and accomplished men (ones that haven’t been sexually abused) don’t need to do this for attention. |

Apparently not to PP who didn’t know that Shakira is a minority... |
+1 One of the most feminist groups I’ve ever belonged to was in a rehearsal studio that housed classes on burlesque and circus performance. (I took classes in trapeze, Lyra, and contortion, and have rarely been in a more constructive, welcoming, respectful space.) |
| Karens don’t like concerts with Latinx singers. Latinx singers put on a production. I took a friend to a Ricky Martin concert once and regretted it she was criticizing the dancing and the instruments the entire time. It was culture she just couldn’t get |
But are totally fine yelling obscenities and curse words talking about f this and f that and cursing around little kids. I know because I was at the women’s march 3 years ago. It was vile. I can imagine that same crowd of overweight middle age women are the ones who would be upset at minority famous women dancing on stage for 10 minutes. Also, scantially clad? Both women had on outfits from head to toe. |
