    I thought this was an interesting article because it criticises that critique of 'blurred lines'. In that women are actually being liberated and respected as independent sexual beings and not objects that are subjugated by any man. The article states that i no way is there a claim for rape instead the women is indeed being consensual. Moreover the writer for this is in fact a women and a feminist at that, she wasn't offended and actually liked the song. So therefore becoming offended when all this hype and backlash came out over what was actually a catchy song to listen to in the car.

    Camille Paglia argues that the problem with Cyrus's performance wasn't that it was "disgusting," but rather that it was unsexy ("atrocious"), and that subversion and sexual liberation need limits and can't rely just on shock.

    I might add that I think Paglia is largely right, but then again, wrong: Isn't she mis-identifying Cyrus? Cyrus was out for shock, not sexual liberation (in my reading). She's not trying to be the next Madonna. (If you read other Paglia arguments, a recurring theme is: "This new artist isn't Madonna.")

    Camille Pagila is at it again! Although our class discussion is currently focused on Lady Gaga, I found this article Pagila wrote about Miley Cyrus interesting. Pagila does mention the focus on sex in the music industry and credits Madonna as the executive of such an image, in the most positive way possible. Pagila described Gaga as the striking end of sex and gender. Here, Pagila claims that pop music/culture itself is on the exponential decline. Don't forget to read the comments, they're quite amusing, actually!
