Questions for Us

I stumbled upon this video. A girl auditioning on one of the X Factor shows late last year.

In light of what I discussed in my previous post, I thought I’d share it.

I feel that the girl in this clip does not show respect for the male judges or male audience members, least of all for herself.

This girl – and many like her – never deserve to be attacked, raped or anything of the such. Absolutely not. Ever.

Let’s say she were raped after this performance (due to the outfit / blonde hair/ fake tan / is a woman / WHATEVER!), I would be the person shouting loudest, that what she suffered was a crime and a violation of her personal rights.

I need to make that point perfectly clear.

But when looking at the issue of respect,  isn’t she disrespecting men by treating them as the mindless creatures I described in my previous post?
“The men will vote for me, because I’ll give them what they want.”

On the same note, she is also disrespecting women, by demonstrating the notion that there is no way to succeed without hyper-sexualising oneself.

What say you?
