This was great, thanks for posting it =]
I just watched the video, and wow was it dumb. The song sucked too.
I don’t get the point of any of this. Someone has a problem with there being competition with sex choices or something? Is it supposed to be wrong that some girls are dressing up and looking nice while others don’t wanna do that?
There’s a problem with saying “I’m subverting the male gaze” while playing into stereotypes
The male gaze?
Yeah, that’s kinda the main point of the article?
Which is?
The male gaze is the idea that we judge things from the perspective of a (heterosexual) man. In particular, it often refers to what society considers to be beautiful. Society often equates being sexually attractive with beauty, and often values people who are considered beautiful more highly.
The article is critizing the video for claiming to subvert this trope in the second half, while still placing emphasis on Katy Perry’s sexual attractiveness.

Wow.
That was a lot of words just to say “I’m repugnant.”
