Pathetic Pink
I find the former R&B- and now POP-ROCK singer Pink rather pathetic in her attempt to market herself! She tries to portray herself as a feminist by condemning and denouncing the attributes that have been socially imposed on genders (for instance girls must play with dolls or take off their clothes in order to be feminine) as attributes of ”stupidity” in her song and video "stupid girl”! At the same time not only does she take off her clothes and shoots topless but she also signs a deal with Sony Playstation to be their poster girl for their newly released pink PSP for ”girls”!!! I personally do not have anything against girls wearing pink or playing with dolls, girls do not have to imitate boys by wearing blue and play football (as pink suggests in her video) in order to grow up strong and independent! Neither do they have to cover up in order to be respected! Men and women can be themselves naturally and sexually, but still EQUAL! Its great to inform and inspire girls as well as boys, but one thing I hate is hypocritical individuals and ”turner-coats” who do not practise what they preach!
