French series currently on Netflix. Original title: Super Mâles Four friends whose romantic and professional lives are turned upside down by the women in their lives. If you rely on the captures below, only the first scene seems worthwhile, but that’s deceptive. All three film clips are worth a look,…
I both laughed at this and thoroughly enjoyed ‘certain parts’ of it.
Sorry, but I don’t get it. This seems to be some kind of women’s empowerment anthem and yet displays all of the tropes of blatant sexual objectification. I thought the modern feminist movement was against that sort of thing? Or, does it not apply if the director is also a woman?
They don’t actually care about any of these things, they just run a business. If the media wants to be against some of this then they say it objectifies. If they want to do it then they say it is empowerment. Much like a lawyer chooses to say whatever will back up the side they are currently on. They are often against it because they don’t like competitors using it and they prefer there not be too much of it so they can charge extra for it on premium channels. It is true that they often stick a woman behind it as director because they feel it looks better that way. In any case, what they say is bullshit rationalization.
I did get a kick out of it because they went back to the classic of having a bunch of sexy women dress in very sexy versions of men’s work outfits. That’s always a popular choice. This isn’t particularly unusual in music videos as that is one area where women have been wearing practically nothing and acting very sexual for years. They seem to use this area to lead the way.
Let us not forget that prior to metoo, overtly objectifying oneself WAS feminism and female empowerment. ie, Lena Dunham, Frankie Shaw (SMILF), etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
So I’m guessing in actuality some of these entertainers are about as confused as you are.
Your mistake was watching with the sound on. It’s clearly marked as a Katy Perry video.
Amen.
I knew she was no Whitney Houston, but I newer realized until hearing this song that she just can’t sing at all.
Why wasn’t she doing this a decade ago?
I’m pretty sure that overt sexuality just follows the basic economic principle – when demand is high, supply is scarce. When demand is low, supply is plentiful. Also known as the ‘Britney Effect’…
