And the huge amount of critisism about Britney Spears’ performance is another sign that Western culture is in decline.
People say she looked “out of shape”? What were they watching? She looked great. Most females would be quite happy to look like that. Isn’t it harmfull to send the message to women (of all ages) that a woman who looked like Britney Spears did last night is actually ‘out of shape’? If that’s considered out of shape, how must an overweight woman feel when she hears that? Now she hears that even a great looking, fairly lean woman is considered ‘out of shape’. Its just ridiculous!
Are we bing too hard on Britney Spears? And isn’t this sort of negative message about her appearance harmful to women?
I agree with some of the responses here which basically say that Spears’ performance was indeed terrible. But there’s no need to call her fat or out of shape. On the other hand, I suppose when a person clearly makes their appearance a major focus of their performance, then these sorts of comments (i.e. out of shape) are inevitable. Whereas when a person simply tries to make music to the best of their ability, then their physical appearance becomes less of an issue.
Still, its nasty to label someone as fat and out of shape, unless they are an athlete competing and their shapes relates directly to their performance.
Calling Spears fat send the wrong message to women.
