The men have never been the ones naked. You’re right the women are always half naked and sexualized, but I don’t think continuing to do the same sort of thing but all by yourself is “taking that back,” I think it’s just continuing what was started long ago. This isn’t only about recent singers like sabrina carpenter or taylor swift; I remember not being allowed to watch Beyoncé or whoever else on the tv when they performed at the superbowl because it was too lewd for children.

Having sexual moments or lyrics in songs is fine, but making your entire brand about sex and wearing inadequate clothing as your signature look is almost entirely unique to female artists.

I don’t listen to pop singers I’ll be honest. This isn’t an issue I encounter very much because it’s really an issue with “mainstream” musicians and not really anyone else. I was told I should never watch music videos from my mom and yes she did mean women and men’s. And the men I listen to are sometimes half naked and the women aren’t. It depends on who you listen to. I’m not saying that as a whole it’s not mostly women because it is. But I don’t really care what they do with their own bodies.

Besides men have historically had much much more inappropriate songs. It’s just they aren’t less clothed for it. But I remember someone like Shawn Mendez having some… sexual poses, the boy bands of the 2000’s having beach videos- things that if women did it we’d probably call it sexual.

I’m thinking of some rock stars now with their shirts off like dry humping the air

Male ones if that wasn’t obvious

you have a few examples of men doing slightly similar things but this whole time I haven’t said NO men do it, just that is is MOSTLY a woman thing. And like I said the lyrics aren’t the issue, it’s the branding and clothing. Shawn Mendez’s entire brand is not being sexual as far as I’m aware, as opposed to lot of female singers and celebrities in general.

Well that’s the thing. I literally can’t speak for the ones who do have their brands that because I have no idea who you are talking about. I mentioned I don’t listen to pop music and I haven’t seen this issue. It’s probably related to the type of music you are listening to.

I listen to djent none of my favorites do that and they’re mostly men. But surely you’ve seen stuff online about sabrina carpenter, Taylor swift, Olivia Rodrigo, etc, and music videos in the past? For example Miley cirus’s wrecking ball: turning to public displays of sexuality to be taken “seriously”

All I know about Sabrina carpenters new music is the album cover. As for the music video of Miley, that was like… 10 years ago. Like is it still sexual? Yes but I don’t really know if that shows the change that’s happened.

There hasn’t been much of a change. It isn’t recent it’s been ongoing. I feel like you are ignoring some of the things I’ve said and replacing them with your own assumptions about what I believe. The sexualization of women in multiple industries is a long term issue.

In fact the in the very first response I gave you I said “this isn’t only about recent singers”

This is the second time you’ve assumed what I believe. You assumed I thought that men never have sexual themes or elements, so I made sure to clarify that it is just mostly women. Now you’re assuming I am only talking about recently. I’ve stated in all of my responses so far that I am not making those claims. I don’t know why you are trying to argue against claims I have never made and do not believe myself.

I agree Lady Gaga is a great example of how sometimes “less clothing” is simply artistic! She’s awesome. I think doing sex positions, pole dancing, etc on stage is more of a blatant display of sexualization.

I’m not saying the sexualization of women is not an important thing. It’s been around in the music industry for decades which is my point. You said it’s mostly women so I am pointing out larger singers that do the same thing. I have mentioned multiple times that this is probably involved in the exact genre you listen to. I also acknowledge that when I mentioned not being allowed to watch music videos. But I am also saying what is seen as sexualization from women is not seen the same from men

which could possibly explain this disparity.
