Robin Thicke, on “Blurred Lines”. Because remember, if you’re married with children you can’t objectify women, influence how other men view women or have ever objectified or disrespected women at any previous point in your life.
Robin Thicke is a tool. http://www.gq.com/blogs/the-feed/2013/05/robin-thicke-interview-blurred-lines-music-video-collaborating-with-2-chainz-and-kendrick-lamar-mercy.html

The thing I find most disturbing about this very, very disturbing quote is how predictable it is. It’s like Thicke played misogyny bingo, first from the perspective of an artist
- He was being edgy!
- He was being ironic! Your disgust is the point! Good job!
- He’s a good guy in real life who was making a statement in his art!
before delving into being an actual scary person:
- Yes, of course he knows he’s degrading women! He designed the video to portray “everything that is completely derogatory towards women”!
- Also, degrading women is “taboo.” It’s a question of social mores, not human rights.
- In fact, degrading women (if done properly?) is pleasurable! It’s delicious, forbidden fruit!
- He’s never “gotten” to do that before! How liberating this is for him!
In sum: men sometimes stumble upon opportunities to degrade women and though there are the ones who do it all the time, the good men who “always” respect women deserve to try it out just once (or twice or three times or) just to see what it’s like. But you can trust them because they’re “happily married with children” and those relationships and social markers mean they’re innately good — means that, on some level, goodness is itself innate (to them specifically) — and they will always revert back to that goodness after a bad boy binge of degrading their fellow human beings. Nothing to fear here, ladies & lady-sympathizers.

What kind of ridiculous logic is that? What a prick.

‘What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman!’ Go fuck your fucking self you utter shit.

this is so gross on so many levels- enjoying demeaning women makes you a revolting douche, regardless of your marital status (kinda like tony abbott saying he can’t be a misogynist because he’s married with a couple of daughters). also, implying that bestiality and iv drug use are somehow comparable is all kinds of fucked up

"I’ve behaved myself and lived up to your ridiculous standards for SO LONG, the least you can do is let me degrade some women as a reward."

he also said the “hey hey hey” lyric is actually a catcall
