“Which is why a few billboards I have seen lately really bug me. There is one for Ariana Grande, and I will go ahead and admit I have no idea who she is or what she does. Based on the billboard, she sells lingerie. Or stiletto heels. Or plastic surgery because every woman over 22 wishes she has that body, I’m sure. Why is she in her underwear on this billboard though? And if she has a talent (is she a singer?), then why does she have to sell herself in lingerie? I mean, I know that society is patriarchal and women are expected to be sexy and sexually available no matter what we do in society, but I guess now I need to explain that to my sons?”
Not really a diss to Ariana Grande, but just another complaint by someone who isn't "standard" saying that she doesn't understand why certain people need sex to sell.
I don't see the problem if Ariana was doing it by her own choice. It's not patriarchal if a woman is doing it on her own terms and, and it's not like she was giving into a "patriarchal" society by being submissive to a man and doing as HE pleases and not what SHE pleases. She was doing as SHE pleases in this situation.
