Feminism in mainstream music

[War Chef]

Couldn't help but notice this garbage song on my youtube newsfeed just now:

See the emasculation of men, pink tank tops, lip stick, eye liner, and swinging hips. We all know how women love homosexual men - cracking a gay joke, or acting pretend-gay to a woman is the easiest way to make her laugh, but this video just takes it to another level. Also see her typical feminist attire, attempting to look sophisticated with her boss uniform and intellectual glasses.

;)

Now this is what I like to see:

That video is a reversed imitation of the English singer Robert Palmer's 80's-style song and video (below) where the females stand behind him in his video (below) wearing Christian Dior hairstyles and make-up, but the US video has reversed the original videos theme and placed the men in Dior make-up/hairstyles instead.

There's two types of make-up men wear; the artistic/theatrical/warrior-type face-paint which is often seen on the guys in a lot of the rock/gothic/metal bands who aren't trying to be effeminate, and then there's the effeminate type of make-up in pop music vids where men are actually trying to impersonate females, not only with the type of make-up they wear, but also in their voices, clothes, movements, body language, etc.

A lot of metal/rocker/gothic men often wear Halloween/ghoul styles, like heavy black eyeliner, black lipstick, smokey dark eyeshadow, white face-paint, black nails, demonic and war-like warrior face-paint (just like ancient warrior men wore face-paint sometimes) but that's done for the purposes of art and looking more macho or warrior-like when metallers and rocker men and Gothic guys wear it, (and the type of make-up they wear is normally black eyeliner, black lipstick, white face-paint, etc, combined with lots of black leather clothing, heavy boots, bullet-belts, spikes, silver pentagrams, black hair dye, long, wild and untamed hair to show their physical strength, etc, rather than cutting and grooming it.... such as Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, Dani Filth, etc.)

Axl Rose of Guns n Roses has some eyeliner on in some of his vids and he's very masculine. They're certainly not trying to look like females and they use cosmetics in a very different and creative way to reflect their soul, feelings, thoughts, views of themselves in a dying world in their external appearance... compared to the guys in the video above who are just trying to impersonate females with their attire, and the guys in that video which you posted are wearing more make-up than the female in the video! It's not being done for purposes of art, like the type of theatrical make-up which creative artists like David Bowie or Marilyn Manson wear for artistic reasons on their stage-sets.

I strongly dislike feminism, but I honestly that's a decent song and video - no matter it's ''motives''.

Yeah such a soothing voice she has, and the lyrics aren't bad at all, however the music video killed it for me. I will boycott this song if I ever hear it in my car radio again.



The video above that you posted though is total emasculation though and it's not being done for purposes of art - like the type of make-up creative artists like David Bowie or Marilyn Manson wear for artistic reasons.


Yes Marilyn Manson's usage of make-up is totally acceptable since his point is that being different, or being a freak is OK. He's going for the bizarre shock factor.
