Just finished making my coffee. But a woman being provocative in her music, dressing skimpy, singing about sex is positive sexuality. That is much different than things like the bop house where their main gig is posting OF content with the main tagline of “barely legal” and promoting themselves online knowing their audience is young boys and further targeting that audience
I see people trying to lump Sabrina and Sydney Sweeney into the same category, and although I’m not exactly a fan of either of them, that’s so abhorrently wrong. Sabrina does have some questionable choices with how much she leans into being “small and cute”, but Sydney’s constant, blatant catering to the male gaze is objectively problematic. The “little boys” line in her recent ad was so unsettling to me
At the same time with Sydney, I see a woman who previously expressed her extreme discomfort with the way she was sexualized, who wanted a breast reduction partially because of that, and who is now sucked into the Hollywood profit machine. She’s either doing what she knows will make the most money, or just following the instructions of a manager. Either way, it’s harmful and so against what she used to stand for
EXACTLY!!! A lot of short girls try to do the “small and cute” thing. Which I side eye but just shrug at. But she’s literally offing men in her music videos. And sometimes has some like WLW coded things (not saying she’s queer). Sydney made bath water soap and a gross Dunkin’ doughnuts ad. Like these two are not the same.
