Blurred


I discovered this Blurred Lines Parody video today after hearing that Youtube took it down for a brief time, apparently due to "sexual content." Between taking down this video and setting an age restriction on other popular parodies of what seems to be this summers number one song, we really get a picture of which lines are actually blurred. How in the world could this video be restricted because of sexual content when the real Blurred Lines video has women dancing around naked with no problem?

Gender equality has come a long way, but things like this really show how far we have to go. Are gender roles and inequalities so ingrained in our society that things will never really change?

Mini-feminist rant over.
