She is demeaning herself, via over-sexualization. It is demeaning to women because women (young women who listen to her music) watch the video and think that is how a woman should look/act and be praised for it. ("Letting the inner wild 'wolf' out" is being praised.) It is demeaning because it is objectifying Shakira, a woman. Let alone the fact that half the video takes place in a metaphoric cage. Nothin' like a girl in a cage (ultimate sex object reference) to spark sexual ecstasy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156717367536404365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133695185204340671.post-30227901623028822802009-10-29T15:01:45.958-07:002009-10-29T15:01:45.958-07:00I'm not trying to be an asshole here or anythi...I'm not trying to be an asshole here or anything, but I feel like most of the stuff that you've criticized in this song is just a matter of taste - I personally think that this song is pretty catchy and that the video is definitely ridiculous, but entertainingly so. But that's just my opinion, you're entitled to yours, too. I'm a little confused about what's so 'demeaning' about it, though? I mean, okay, she's singing about sex and acting sexy-like and such, but is that instantly demeaning to women?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133695185204340671.post-27121803234777095862009-09-05T21:37:55.973-07:002009-09-05T21:37:55.973-07:00I wonder why you would feel the need to defend a s...I wonder why you would feel the need to defend a song/video that is so clearly sexualized and demeaning to women-- even if the originator happens to be a woman herself.
