Lady Gaga Article

I do not agree with the author, Lily Rowen, in the article “GaGa and Kesha Champion New Feminism.” I would not consider either of these women new faces of feminism. Both women complain about how men treat women unfairly and second rate. I don’t not find this to be a “paved way of liberation” as Rowen describes it. Gaga and Kesha both wear little to no clothing and have lyrics that degrade themselves as women. They are both talented women who can sing but do not present themselves in a respectful manner. If Gaga and Kesha’s songs about women getting to drunk and smacking men around is considered a new kind of feminism then the author hasn’t done much research. Many of their other songs are about falling in love with men and having relationships. The fact that both artists have an array of love songs and sexually explicit songs, yet only the sexual songs are hits, does not make them “new age feminists.”
