Watching the music video to the song Blurred Lines, recently released by Robin Thicke who was colaberating with Pharell, two big worldwide names in music. The way that the women are presented in this sexual and naked manor disgusts me for one and im sure by looking on the internet at all of the comments of the video it is the same for many other women and even men across the world. The music video is meant to be something that complements the song and is used to relate to the song but not only does a couple naked women walking amd dancing around provokingly have nothing to do with the song, it is also very unnessasery.
The degrading of women in this music video is extremely high. The men think that with a little bit of money they can essentially have women do whatever they want them to and although that might be true for a couple women, its not a good way to represent all of the women around the world. The women have no respect for themselves and accordingly the men dont have any respect for these or any other women.
Although this is something i cannot and will choose not to go into detail about, the language that they use and the things that they say relating to the women are also degrading. Saying things about ALL women and having the 2 women in the music video try to act as women in general is anothing degrading act from Robin Thicke. They just assume that because they have 2 girls here that will do anything for a little bit of money, all girls will do the same and thats a typical way for famous male musical artists to think an act and it needs to be stopped.
In verse one the lyrics are constantly talking about a girl not realising he wants to get with him and being so surprised that she doesnt want to get with him. He is refering to himself as some kind of god and talking about how all girls would get with him so happily. The next verse where the lyrics refer to a girl being liberated with no papers ect, is another perfect example of where women as a whole are being degraded to huge levels not only throughout the lyrics but also the naked models in the music video. No wonder the men all think they are the kings of the world. This all needs to change and we need to come together as a whole and stop this.
