Can you guess how I got the above picture? Easy! I just searched for "Objectification of women in music videos", and voila! All sorts of images popped up. In fact, I had to be careful to select the most decent thing I could find because all the results were just straight-up filth.
I think it's quite fascinating how these women are constantly objectified in music videos and yet seem quite exhilerated by it. They're called "Vixens"; not for fighting for human rights, gender equality, or a good cause, but for degrading their gender most of the time. And guess what - they love it!
Check this out: Producers/Director's list of items to acquire for perfect cliché music video: expensive drinks, NAKED WOMEN, Dollar bills, and luxury automobiles. You're directly or indirectly called an item and you're busy shining your teeth? Bimbo? Okay. Where's the substance in you? Will your mama clap and jump with euphoria then point at the screen while screaming with pride, "That's my daughter! Yes! The one with the fattest booty and perfect curves! She got it from me!" Or would she brim with shame and uncontrollable tears gushing from her scarred eyes?
Y'all have PHDs in complaining about how men treat you. But let's call a spade a spade; sometimes, y'all are the gifted architects of your own problem. #GoAndThink!
...Wait, hold up! I just realized something: the economy is a farce, so we gotta do what we gotta do, right? Who gives a damn about honor, integrity, and self-worth as long as we make ends meet, regardless of the manner, right? Well, what do I know? You just go ahead and do your thing, girl. Shake that booty for dem rich guys to slap and flaunt about at will. After all, it's nothing but a big round fluffy trophy.
