So, according to my sources (thanks, mirth), people are somehow finding a way to make this video a topic of feminist discussion.
Um…really? I mean, it’s a pop song…with a catchy beat…and an innocuous, anti-”why buy the cow” sort of theme. I mean, would it be more pro-feminist if the chorus were “I choose to have casual sex because I don’t need marriage to feel validated as a woman”? That’s not catchy! Seriously; can’t a girl just gyrate around in a one-armed leotard without getting flack? As for me, the only conclusions I can confidently come to regarding this supposed controversy are the following:
1. If you danced along to this video twice a day as though it were a Jane Fonda workout (and honestly, some of those moves are just a bit too “aerobics”y, no?), you might end up with as perky and bootilicious a derriere as Beyonce.
2. Cyborg Beyonce looks uncannily like human Beyonce; the only way to know the difference is that Cyborg Beyonce exists in a vacuous and colorless universe peopled only with her and her cyborg minions.
3. Cyborg Beyonce will be Obama’s pick for Secretary of Fierce.
