Going Gaga over raunch dressed up as liberation : Comments

By Melinda Tankard Reist, published 19/3/2010

Lady Gaga isn't pushing boundaries. She's a conformist contributing to a distorted, one-dimensional cultural script.

I think she should replace Deveny as a main speaker at the next earth worsippers summit. Her morality would fit well with the amoral atheist.

Unlike your mythical "god" runner, the earth actually exists. Whether people worship it or not is not your business.

If someone trys to burn down your house and you object, by your logic, you would be a "house worshiper".

This crap stopped being non-conformist a long time ago. It is equally hard to see it as individual when all female popstars adopt quite similar personas with the same rauchy sexuality. Lady Gaga is doing exactly what any record company would tell her to do.

It is a very sad to see the way this author is demeaned for simply standing up against a culture in which women apparently do not have a hope of being thought of as anything other than a source of sexual gratification, first and foremost.

What is so wrong about asking that women be accorded dignity and respect?

This sort of behaviour is not characteristic of a civilisation on the rise but on the contrary a civilisation that has lost its way.

People have got to starting thinking seriously about the potential harm to fellow human beings and society.

Agree with the article, Benk and Grateful.

All of this was said and done some years back when Madonna was doing the same sort of thing. The press hailed her as striking a note for women's independence etc etc.

Gaga is just the newest (younger) version of the same old; same old.

I agree with Severin that she'll be Gone-gone in due course - but there'll probably be another idiot to take her place.

'If someone trys to burn down your house and you object, by your logic, you would be a "house worshiper".'

By your logic it is only your opinion that burning ones house down is wrong. The again your logic fails miserably.
