[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What disappoints me about a current strain of feminism is this conflation between empowerment and marketing tools. Sex is a common and powerful marketing tool, initially exploited by men (bikini women draped over cars) and now also exploited by women. JLo is a total boss. She used sex to promote her show. Very successfully. That's not empowerment, that's capitalism.

What would have been empowerment, IMO, is to NOT use sex to promote the show. JLo says f&ck all you men. I'm not using my body in this way for your attention. I'm amazing without my crotch too.

But then it wouldn't have caused all this discussion and it wouldn't have given her the most media attention possible, which is what any performer wants.

So, it was a good show but very much the same old, same old. Not empowering. Just the same old "women are good for one thing" message. [/quote]

What she was actually doing is saying... hey conservative women who have been controlled by men your whole life and told how you can dress and what you can do with your body... I can do whatever I want with my body and no man is stopping me.

Hey conservative men, I can actually do whatever I want with my body... think what you want but it's not for you, can't have it, can't control it, can't stop it.

Stop trying to tell women what to do with their bodies and stop blaming them for what others think while they do things with their body.  You chose to think the things you think. The majority of the population did not think those things ... it's all on you, it's in your head, you created those thoughts and most people disagree with you. [/quote]

Men, conservative or otherwise, have never stopped women from trashy dressing or crotch rubbing.  That's exactly where they want women. I don't know how you can find that empowering.

I also don't understand why the message of body freedom applies only to nakedness. I mean if a woman is choosing to do things with her body other than exposing it and simulating sexual acts, do you automatically think she's repressed? Or can you recognize it as another choice?

Sorry to disappoint you but the majority of the population does think it's trashy to move like this and dress like this.  Men are happy to watch other people's daughters doing that but they don't want it for their own.  Women too.[/quote] 
You are 100% wrong. The majority of viewers loved the performance. The only people complaining are unattractive women[/quote]

I'm happy to watch other people's daughters rubbing their crotches on stage.  [/quote]
