The Real Blurred Lines

I have not blogged in a while, but that is because I have been working on a bigger project that encapsulates my summer. However, there is an issue that I felt the need to write about. There is much controversy about Robin Thicke's song Blurred Lines. I understand why. Not only are the lyrics degrading, but the videos are too. I have to be honest, the song is catchy, and I have found myself saying, "Hey, hey, hey." on multiple occasions. What I am most disconcerted by is the general public who is against this song. I am not talking about the people who dislike all songs of this nature. I am talking about the ones who pick and choose the songs they would like to be against. There is no way this song can be that much of an outrage to a person who knows and loves all the lyrics to a song that degrades women in the same way. It is all about respect, and has nothing to do with what most people believe. If you detest a song because it goes against morals, go ahead. If you dislike a song because everyone seems to, rethink.
