Belinda Carlisle literally posed for Playboy and has nude photoshoot. I'm totally against slutshaming, but girl, don't be a hypocrite.

I was dead sure she had more than dipped her toes into this realm but a full playboy photoshoot 

desperately seeking attention by playing the veteran and sl*tshaming the newcomers. bitter.

[timdrake 1,050]

"these days", as if every female pop star in the last 30 years hasn't had an era/video/performance where they're dressed like a sex robot

like, why say this now? it seems attention seeking. also Dua Lipa?? she's pretty tame on the spectrum of outwardly sexual pop stars 

 

just weird

I mean Dua Lipa's image is really fairly tame. The kinds of outfits she wears on stage, mostly bodysuits and whatnot, are not at all that far off what female artists wore thirty years ago, Belinda's just delusional.

As though women artists weren't sexualizing themselves back in the 1980s too. 

But y'all, just because Belinda is being a hypocrite isn't an excuse to act ageist and lesbian-phobic.

I mean, this has been going on for centuries. Yes its toxic. Feminists in the 60’s, 70’s were slammed for speaking up ahgainst this. Its only until recently that its been branded “empowerment”. Women have been used mostly for their procreation and looks. Its still here, only under the guise of “empowerment”. Most women who perform “xesually” on stage, on video, even a los of p* rn arent feeling xesual at all, they do it because men (actually an audience of them) will like it and will have monetary benefits for the patriarchy/ business. 
 

This has been a thing for thousands of years.

Being sexual or having a sexualized image is never wrong, its why and how you do it that makes it wrong. And a good example of bad sexual image is Belinda Carlisle herself.

The issue is who and what you criticise in relation to it. 

Citing Dua Lipa as she did as an example of oversexualised pop singers and criticising women like Dua Lipa is proof that she's not actually doing this from a feminist perspective. 

And tbh, I never for one second thought the highly religious woman who has been married to a member of the Reagan White House team since the 80s is a genuine feminist. 

If she cared about this issue as a feminist she wouldn't be attacking women, she'd be attacking the industry. If she cared about this issue as a feminist, she wouldn't say this when she's doing a media round for a new album. 

Its not feminist to attack women for displaying sexuality, especially when done from a position of visible power over their own sexuality. Its not feminist to attack women because you take issue with a symptom of male dominated fields and society.

Of all the pop girls she goes for Dua? She could talk about some female artists like Sabrina who make sex their entire shtick….and even then it wouldn’t matter much and wouldn’t be her business at all it’s just I find it so funny and random to be hating in Dua for thaf when she’s actually not the most sexualized pop girl around
