I find it really sad how ironically unempowering so much of the “girl power” movement in the entertainment industry is. Between the cosmetic procedures, the oversexualization, rejection of gender roles, etc., they are effectively alienating many girls from their true womanhood and helping to dismantle the family, and consequently our society, as well.You exressed my sentiments pretty well. For all the talk of these female “artists” and how “empowering” it is, it is actually conforming to the mainstream and is very conventional. I view Pink in the same way. (ie all the talk about “girl power” What is so empowering about her music anyway?)
Also, I added to my post since you last read it. Since you agree with what I wrote already, thought you might agree with this as well:
Even though I disagree with alot of their views and their music and performance is a lot more “offensive” than Lady Gaga’s, I have 100 times more respect for them, because they are actually trying to make a serious statement. Lady Gaga’s just trying to court controversy and build a cult of personality. To put it very bluntly (and crudely): she’s an attention whore.
If I had children, I would let them listen to Skinny Puppy long before I let them listen to Lady Gaga. I don’t think she has any real “message”. The “everyone is special” sentiment, true as at is, is one I personally think she spouts as another part of her campaign for fame, as now she’s a “role model”, too. That message is already preached in every day care, elementary school and public institution in America. I don’t need a woman dressed like a lava lamp to affirm my or my hypothetical childrens’ self worth.
