Lady Gaga

I found this article very thought provoking. Female pop artists are inevitably trying to come up with what will be the sexiest and what is most likely to produce the greatest profit. After learning more about feminism and its multifaceted definitions, I learned that there is no right or wrong way to define a feminist. If Lady Gaga or Kesha want to be feminists, then they are or can be. After coming to terms with the whole notion of feminism and its counterparts, I feel as if many, many women believe in feminism, but some see it very differently than others. Maybe Lady Gaga and Kesha believe their confidence and ability to go outside their comfort zone so smoothly and admirably is powerful for the women population. However, should we look at their outrageousness as powerful? I do think that Lady Gaga is an inspiration to women, as is Kesha, but not really. Kesha was quoted saying, “I’m just talking about men the way they’ve talked about women for years” Doesn’t she think to consider that yes, men have spoken about women in a certain way for years, is it really necessary to stoop to such a level? I think that on one hand these women are powerful in their confidence and charisma, however, their idea that singing about getting drunk and try to describe men as a ‘piece of meat’ completely repudiates where we are trying to get in regards to gender equality, priveledge, and power, today.
