The Objectified Woman Now "Subjectified"

There is a lot of commotion in regards to Robin Thicke's recent music video, "Blurred Lines." This is mostly because of the completely nude women starring in the video, who are prancing around and thus, being objectified by male dominance. Some viewers may not see it, and some viewers may not care, but if you do theorize the video, the fact the men are completely dressed compared to the women states the women are to be more vulnerable. This all strengthens the male patriarch and legitimizes societal gender roles. Here is the adult version of the video (boobies everywhere, you have been warned):

Now, however, some female law students in the U.K. have made a female parody of the music video. And if you have had a chance to see it, here it is:

I think it is great! And if you are anything of a feminist like me, you might enjoy the parody also. Some people have said it crosses a line and just represents "nazi-feminism,"whatever the hell that means. 

Basically, most people have the term feminism all wrong. Feminists aren't trying to dominate the man's world, we're just fighting for equal rights. I have heard from rants that this female parody is a wrong example of feminism. I say, lighten up, it is a joke. Why can't women enjoy objectifying the man once it a while?

There is sexism everywhere, it's just difficult to see. This is makes it quite ironic that the name of Thicke's video is "Blurred Lines," because theorizing plays, novels, movies, etc. requires seeing in between the lines.
