I knew you would turn it into something feminist.

Oh and it was just a way of saying it. I didnt mean it that way. She doesnt need anyones permission to be the way she is.

But when I'm paying money to see her dance + sing i better not see someone struggling/breathless after 15 minutes on stage. Maybe she can't help it during her cycles. Okay. I didnt know that. Thanks gaga + u for letting me know. But that's not an excuse when the problem has been going on for months now.

 

I'm sorry but I still fail to see what is feminist about my post, not meant in a sarcastic way, I really don't?

 

Comon I am pretty sure you have seen footage of the performances during the ArtRave and she has no signs of being breathless and I think everyone that's already been there can confirm it. In fact many praise her for having so much energy.

Don't jump the gun that quick, or as we have a saying in Dutch: you're selling the hide before the bear has been shot.

Struggling/breathless after 15mins on stage? What are you on about?

You made it sound like was "the man objectifying the woman and her body" which is not the case.

From what i have seen and what people have told me she has a hard time singing + dancing at the same time.

And funny we have the same saying here in Lebanon :)

Being bloated doesn't indicate that you not being fit tho. I see you have not a full understanding of how things like this work.

99% of women have this doesn't matter if you're a popstar or an athlete. Not sure what this has to do with being a feminist or not, it's just something women deal with by nature.

 

This. I work out and have a pretty decent stomach, if I may say so myself, but when my period comes it's like "**** YOU AND YOUR SITUPS, I'M GONNA BE BIG."

I think everyone does. How many singers can't even sing and dance at the same time? Gaga is doing an amazing job. She's dancing and singing for 1.5 hour, I'm sure you couldn't do that. She's fit enough.

Yea i can't do that. That's why I'm not on a sold out worldwide tour.

She used to be better live at the start of the era/tour. IN. MY. OPINION.

That was not what I meant, I meant it in a way that I have a feeling you don't fully understand how the female body works and that we just have constant cycles and we bloat and deflate continuously all the time, nothing feminist about that.

I just don't like it when men act like they know or wanna address something about a female body when it's a perfect normal thing and common for all women, comments like that just makes a guy look ignorant.

 

Flawless countries obviously :whitney:

Show me some videos where she's not good at what she does? Of course there are days when she's be better or worse considering many factors. We all have our good aand bad days. It's not like she's not putting all her energy and soul to what she does. 

Moreover, she might have been better at the beginning of her career, because she simply was younger. Her weight has nothing to do with her ability to perform. Also, you shouldn't expect her be out of this world. She's just a human. She has a show almost everyday. Plus, she has to travel from place to place. It's tiring.

How much time does this bloat/deflate thing last?

I never mentioned the beginning of her career. I'm talking about the beginning of the era/tour, a few months ago.

And theres many videos out there.

Of course she was better at the beginning of the tour because she wasn't so tired of constant travelling and performing. It's as simple as that. You just try to convince everyone that her weight gain is the main reason she's not as good as she used to be, which I don't think is true. It's not like she gained a ton of weight. She's just slightly fuller. Moreover, she's very short which makes her look even fuller when in fact she just gained a little bit of weight. Why is it so bad to be a little bit fuller? Why all the women should be perfectly thin, when they are constantly on this hormonal cycle? That's what Gaga had in mind tweeting that reply.

I love her :lmao:

 

But seriously though, she's healthy and that's all that matters. This person can sit down.

Take my hand. Stay, Joanne.

Well it often takes place from like the last week before getting your period till like roughly the 3rd day while being on your period and then you start to deflate and the whole thing starts all over again.

 

I was gonna link you to my thread but it got deleted :grr:

I'll read about that when i get home.

It doesnt last for three months tho (the beginning of the tour) That was my entire point.

Thank you :heart:

Then it's really ****ing fantastic that no one cares how you'd "rather see her". Her being a pop performer doesn't mean her body is suddenly public property; she shouldn't have to justify why she looks the way she does to anyone, especially not to people who claim to be fans. I'm sick of this mentality that places more importance on success to a mainstream audience than Gaga's mental and physical health. It's just immature.

YES love this post.
