@brodydalle I think JLo and iggy azalea have lost their heads up each others big butts @brodydalle Im trying to understand what the point of their horrendous video is but I cant find one @brodydalle The song is a piece of crap that was written by waaay to many people including a well know woman beater From : Kayla @KaylaElaine87 @BrodyDalle well done. Your rants have inspired lots of girl hate and slut and body shaming. @BrodyDalle plus dont you love Wendy O? Why is it ok for her to objectify herself but not the others? PS I love you, I just think yur wrong Dear Kayla , Slut shaming? Body shaming? Girl hating? You are putting words in my mouth and in my tweets YOU are implying they are “sluts” not me. The definition for slut is “a woman who has many casual partners”. Since when did being scantily clad come to mean having many partners? Yikes !!! Goodbye bikini on the beach !!!! I don’t like the word slut, I don’t use the word slut, that word is not in my vernacular. If a woman has many casual partners, it is none of my business. I have absolutely no problem with what women do with their bodies in their private lives. Women should feel free (as men do) to sleep with whomever they want to as long as it’s consensual and without being labeled a slut. That would be equality. A girl can dream. My problem with this song and the video is the conflicting message it’s sending to our young girls and boys. How are the lyrics “give him what he wants “empowering to women ???!!! How ????!!! How is spreading your bottom apart and singing “give him what he wants” empowering at all??? Now if the words were I’ll give you want I want”, I could back that. But sadly they are not. It’s especially insulting that Chris Brown is one of the writers. JLo and Iggy are feeling empowered by their bodies and that’s fine, their bodies ARE powerful, beautiful and life giving. But they are so much more than their bodies. Pop stars feel that using their bodies is the only currency they have in order to stay popular and on the top. It’s become about who gets the most hits on you tube and vevo and who can take it the furthest, not about the quality of their songs and the messages they are sending. And for what???? To make LOTS and LOTS of money. Period. And the giant machine that pumps out meaningless crap and gets it’s pockets lined would NEVER stop this. I want my daughter to grow up KNOWING that she is MORE than just the sum of her “parts”. I want her to be valued for her brains before her body. I want my son to grow up respecting women on all levels. Especially their brains, opinions and ideas. I don’t want my son to see women as walking butts and tits but to see women as a whole and equal human. This is a conflicting and confusing time in culture. I get confused and think about these things A LOT. I worry for future generations about where we are headed as a civilization. There is so much to discuss and talk about. There are thousands of cans to be opened and not everyone likes worms. We have yet to define the parameters and rules and it’s hard to do so and probably impossible but we should all feel free to speak up without feeling like we are going to be attacked, condemned , called crazy, told we are slut shaming , body shaming or girl hating for our opinions……. Or I guess just be prepared. This notion that I can’t have an opinion or disagree with what someone is doing or saying is ludicrous. Especially when I feel it could impact my children in a negative way. This bullshit notion that “everyone” is a winner makes me sick. How are we to persevere and change shit if everything is acceptable???? I am far from perfect and I have made many mistakes trying to find my way but I will keep striving to make this world a better place for my kids and my kindred sisters. And Kayla, if you want to twerk your whole life away naked on a website, smoke crack or juggle balls at the circus, feel free, it’s your life. But just know I might think you could do so much more……and that’s okay, right ? Sincerely, Brody Dalle-Homme
