“Feminism” has long been thought of as the word of angry, solemn, plain and serious women.
But it seems that connotation is evolving. Feminism is now pop – it’s sexy and unapologetic.
In 2014, it was a word that was associated with a woman’s right to bare her booty or free her nipples.
If those rights appear ….a little different or unexpected… perhaps its because 2014 was littered with women in music doing amazing things for feminism. It was the first time in Billboard 100’s 56-year history that all top five songs were sung by women, with those spots being occupied by those women for six consecutive weeks.
By comparison, the last male-dominated top five happened in 2013, and is generally a common occurrence between bouts of mixed gender charts.
In a Noisey article, one writer toggles with what exactly were the the success of feminism this year. Was Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” video a step backwards or a forward step for anyone who believes a woman should be entitled to work her sexuality on her own terms.
I thought this was an interesting article. Read the full post HERE
