The Guardian asked in 2010 if Lady Gaga is "a feminist icon." Kira Cochrane's column answers in the affirmative, noting how Gaga reveals the "sham" of performed femininity, while Hadley Freeman responds briefly that Gaga is nothing more than a copycat.

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.
