Well as long as you're sure about it!

The conflict is that I want to not like things that I realize are sexist, but I sometimes still do.

And six reps on the bootstraps every night!

Certainly this is the voice of reason.

Obviously he thought it would be really run and liked that style of dance. But what is implicit in "that style of dance"? Why are there no male backup dancers here? Why are the women wearing little gold outfits and heels?

Those two things are not mutually exclusive. I think that's your issue here, that you think all sexism is in Bad Things and all Good Things are Not Sexist.

I wish that were how it worked.

Remove from Friends.

I dunno, are you American?

I'm sorry that my interpretation of this does not fit your desired narrative of fun and innocence. This is a frequent reaction to people pointing out sexism in one's beloved things, and people who point out sexism in a thing are often blamed by the thing's fans for being killjoys or being the ones who are actually…

I am also a burlesque dancer and I also love what I do.

I didn't tell you your profession is sexist.

This little boy though? The fact that he wants to do a dance number at his BAR MITZVAH (I'm also Jewish, woopee!) and he and everyone around him including his family see no issue with the inclusion of a sexy burlesque…

Well as long as you're sure about it!

People enjoy a lot of things that also perpetuate sexism and the sexual objectification of women. That doesn't mean we don't critique it and it doesn't mean we blame them for their personal choices either or require them to be cast as victims.

No. I have different problems with Madonna's line of chorus boys. The reason why they are different is that the sexual objectification of men works differently in our patriarchal capitalist culture.

Here I'm talking about the sexual objectification of women. These days we're actually allowed to talk about the treatment…

Oh, there was many a drag queen at my college who thought getting four hot women friends to wear very little clothing and dance behind them was a good look. Gay men are perfectly capable of sexually objectifying women for their own image.

Maybe he'll outgrow the urge to use women as personal ornamentation?

Here's how to do small talk:

1) Meet a stranger
2) Give a shit about them (For NO reason!)
3) Use language to find a reason

Hello. It's a dance academy? Dressing up alike and coordinating their positioning and movement is what they do! When is a better time to do it than real life rituals that are supposed to mark important and transformative life events?

I understand where you are coming from, but you are being incredibly short sighted. The recognition of trans rights actually BREAKS DOWN the gender binary. That is why trans people take a lot more gender based shit and oppression that you do, because the redefinition of gender that trans people live every day is way…

That's not a good meme don't replicate that one.

No it isn't.

MOAR LIKE GENDER QUEERY!
