Turn your back on page 3

As most of you will know by now, I do enjoy a wee bit of feminism (a lot. i am a feminist is what i'm saying), my personal disgust at the casual approach to sexism within society is beautifully argued by the  amazing people behind a campaign called 'Turn Your Back On Page 3', it is one of the first campaigns to draw attention to the massively sexist ethos that governs the british media, not only the obvious objectification of the Page 3 girls being in everyday circulation, but also the general archaic patriarchal form of the press. It's absolutely disgusting and TYBOPT is the kick we need to realise that. Surely we can all see why half naked women is wrong in an everyday paper. Not only is it objectifying women and giving young girls appalling ideals and young boys disgusting morals, but it shows exactly who the sun thinks their readership is, it's males, it's always males. Can a woman not pick up a paper? Does being female mean you can't read? No, but The Sun makes it obvious women aren't welcomed to read their shoddy excuse for toilet roll. Until we start seeing half naked men in a top selling newspaper, there will be no equality, and even then there is the issue of a disgustingly over sexualised society in which we find it acceptable to circulate, what is in affect pornography, so freely that children can see it. All papers like The Sun and magazines like 'Nuts' (the mere thought of which makes me want to scratch out my own eyeballs) are doing is advertising the sexist ideal, showing boys and men and even women that all women are good for is sex. It's just so so so wrong. Every time you pick up Page 3 or Porn think about how you would feel if that was your daughter or your sister or your bestfriend that people were leering at and your idea of it might change. The Sun is the highest circulating newspaper in the uk, just think about that. A newspaper glorifying the objectification of women is the highest circulating paper in this 'great nation'. We're a nation that pride ourselves on equality and yet the highest circulating paper is fundamentally sexist. This is wrong. This is just so wrong, and yet it's barely even questioned. I cannot express all my disappointment in society over one blog post so I urge you to hear it from the creators, head over to Turn Your Back On Page 3 on facebook and join the struggle against the testosterone fuelled media giants and take a fucking stand. Because let's be honest, it's about bloody time we did.

i will not apologie for my pop happiness

yeah it's odd for me to do two blogs so close together, it's just i felt a lot of hate over that Nicki Minaj number and i felt i had to bring back some respectability PLEASE LIKE ME AGAIN. however i do stand by what i said your mean emails will not change my mind, (yes i mean you peter (whoever you are)), i understand there are other opinions in the world and mine are rarely correct. however no amount of hate will make me change my mind about anything. even when im wrong im stubborn and narrow minded and it's not something im proud of but i will never change. so fuck you i like nicki minaj, i also like the wanted and occasionally one direction, i feel that me and tinie tempah are connected on a deeper level and my main life goal is to touch labarinth inappropriately. but i literally can not possibly comprehend what impact that could have on your life.. so get out of your own arse and who knows you might actually have some fun in the dance tent at what ever pretentious organic festival you're off to this weekend.

bad bitches like Minaj be hard to come by..

So like Nicki Minaj is a big thing. If any single one of you tries to tell me you can stop yourself from dancing to starships you are a liar. A dirty dirty liar. Starships is in theory another pop/dance short lived club track, but let's be honest, it's one of the best at the moment. Musically it's a great song, the rise and fall, the simple time structure and filthy beat is so rewarding, it's literally infectious. And yeah the lyrics are ridiculously stupid but shut the fuck up are you honestly trying to tell me "i didn't pay my rent last month, I owe that" makes less sense than "i am the eggman. i am the walrus", or it's less easy to identity with? In truth it is another manufactured club culture song with no real emotion but fucking hell it's fabulous. I personally think Nicki minaj is extremely talented, and to be honest i massively respect her. Yes, she may be completely fake, (let's be honest where in the world did she get that bum? because I want one) but she's one of the realest out there, she's a bitch and she accepts that, and i think it's healthy for young girls to see a woman who is proud of having a massive arse and does actually look different to the masses of stick thin objects of the testosterone fuelled labels who just want to sell female artists as sex sex sex. Minaj completely owns her sexuality, she uses it because she wants to, it gives her power rather than makes her powerless and that deserves so much respect. I'm glad someone is showing young girls they can dress how ever the fuck they want and do what ever the fuck they want even if it's mad and still be successful. "so fuck who you want. fuck who you like" while yes essentially both sentences mean the same thing just phrased differently, it's a valuable point, why cant women just go around fucking whoever they want like men do? It's just madness, so yeah, while i might not be Minaj's number one music fan i have the highest respect for her. And also starships is siiiiiiiiick in da club.
