Feminish Music: Britney Spears Circus

So... I don't really know if this is a feminist review or not... but I think this album is something super relatable even if you aren't britney spears... and it's just a really good one!

So there's no specific song on this that's a "Feminist" song the way that I can say "Hey Girl" is a feminist song... I just think there are lots of specifically female themes.

Most of the songs are about sex... which is something I think it does in kind of a powerful way. Britney Spears is a sex symbol... and in this album I think she embraces that title with a lot of pride. It's very apparent and it's very confident. And I feel like this would just kind of boost confidence when hearing it. Idk. There's nothing about different body types being sexy or not being sexy... which is something I'm noticing a lot with pop music now... there are lots of conflicting views of body image in pop songs... this isn't really like "Ohhh you don't look like this so you're not hot" it's just kind of fun pop music that isn't shaming anyone.

This was also a big comeback album for Britney and she gets a lot of feelings out. There's Out from Under which is kind of a sadder song for the cd... and My Baby, which is a beautiful song about motherhood that could probably make you cry... it's just like there are a lot of deep lyrics along with this very fun catchy pop songs.

So yeah I think the comeback is probably the most powerful that I know from a female in Pop Music. It really didn't seem like she could come back after her "head shaving" incident... but she really made a great comeback and I think this is her big "comeback" album that is what defines her. No one remembers the breakout now because this album is so freaking good!

Anyway... there probably isn't any real feminist message in this cd... I just reviewed it for my other blog and I liked it so much that I thought I'd review it here too... lol. But I feel like Britney is a great comeback story, great success story and her songs are pretty empowering to me... for being a fan of hers for about 24 hours give or take.

Lol. Look for my Throwback Thursday review on Scribbles About Life later... and I'll have something more world-changing on Tuesday maybe. Maybe not.

Byeee!

Why Catcalling Isn't Okay, and Why It's Okay Not To Like It

Today I went to the grocery store with my mom and grandmother and while we were checking out, some older man says “Ohhhh, Nice! Young Lady! Have Mercy," to me! I was really pissed!  The thing about catcalling though is that a lot of people kind of make it seem like its less of a big deal than it is and that women should be okay with it… And no one should have to be okay with being catcalled. Here are my reasons:   I wasn’t asking for it  A lot of times people shrug it off and say something like “Well if you dress like that you’re just asking for it.” Nope… I was wearing a sweater… a mock turtleneck actually, jeans, and a large peacoat. This isn’t any different than how I normally dress. I shouldn’t have to modify my dress for my safety… also I’m not sure how I could exactly be wearing anything more reserved. It’s a striped sweater with a slouchy turtleneck… I definitely wasn’t asking for it.  I was wearing makeup… but that’s another thing I do every da...

Feminish Reviews- 13 Reasons Why (TV Show) *Spoilers*

I thought that the Netflix series based on the book 13 Reasons Why did a great job of showing a lot of different problems that are hard to deal with for girls or for parents... and there were some very disturbing scenes that I believe critics have been insulted by...but I thought it was a good series with a lot of good character development and multi-layered characters... which is a word I think I just made up- but that's something refreshing to see in a teen drama. I've never been through a lot of the stuff that Hannah has been through in the show... but they still made her very relatable. The feeling she has that no one likes her- that is a very real thing that I've thought of often... the paranoia that everyone is looking at her and laughing at her... that is very real. All of her little joys but then in the end no one was listening to her and she couldn't get the help that she needed... that's upsetting and although I haven't really been through anything l...

Feminsit Movie Review- Amelie

So in March I think I'm going to try to watch a different movie every night... and if I think there's a feminist message in it- or if it was important to pop culture for women... I'll write about it! I'll start off with Amelie. I didn't really know what this movie was about... I just knew that it was in French, I thought it looked like a love story... and from the previews it looked beautiful and interesting. And I was right... kinda. What I thought was powerful about this movie from a feminist standpoint was that, even though it was a love story... that wasn't the focus of the movie at all. The focus was mostly on a strange girl that kept to herself most of the time and had a vivid imagination... even as an adult. Although she was quiet and didn't really interact with people... Amelie is quite a strong character. If she doesn't like someone, she'll do something about it right away and create a certain sense of justice. In contrast- if she does...
