Things Never To Say To A Depressed Person
- Chin up
- I know how you feel
- You need exercise
- It's all in your head
- Get a different job
- Think positive
- Stop feeling sorry for yourself
- Is it your relationship?
- Look at how lucky you are
- Everyone has problems
- Life is hard
- I'm having a bad day too
- Is it the weather?
Blurred Lines? More Like Patriarchal Zigzags
Have you seen the Robin Thicke video Blurred Lines?
I hope not.
It is misogynistic sexist patriarchal bullshit.
Basically there are lots of half naked women strutting around as men touch them and sing about how they're "good girls" and "animals."
I have to admit I thought the song was catchy and cheery, until I listened properly to the lyrics.
Then my feminist mind went mad.
How DARE these men condone such things.
The video is basically advertising rape, sexual assault, patriarchal actions and negative gender roles of women.
Come on, it's 2013.
If you haven't already, I suggest you watch this video which is a parody of Blurred Lines called 'Defined Lines' made by feminist Law students.
