whores and smut
Kylie Minogue isn't perfect. Certainly she could use some improvement. If she were a better Kylie, she'd be vegetarian, she'd be helping with charities more, she'd be more politically aware, but she does a lot that I find valuable. Many people, because they don't feel free to express their sexuality as she does, hate her for being in a supported position to do it.
When a woman expresses herself, back arched in ecstacy, she's deemed 'slut', 'whore', and people love to think of her in Jack The Ripper's pointy blade hands getting cut up and bloody. When a man expresses his sexuality, well, when does a man express his? In the gay community he does, in the male stripper bars, okay there a few bars that are geared toward women where men can dance nude too, but generally it's only in the gay crowd where men can really express their sexuality, and they generally get scolded if not condemned if they show interest heterosexually there.
Where EVER a woman expresses hers, she's automatically deemed 'whore', 'loose', 'asking for it', 'slut', and virtually burned at the stake, after being beaten, raped,...and I'm 'mad'? For liking " a whore "? Who am I to like? Those that hate women if they express that part of themselves, though they don't hurt anyone doing it? I'm supposed to turn against her, because she is deemed 'whore' by people who can't be glad for her that she has been protected enough to let it shine?
Okay she isn't perfect. She isn't politically active enough, for sure, but I know she's given my own sexuality alot of much needed validation.
James Dean is wonderful but Kylie Minogue is just a whore? Come on. I wish I could go live in a forest with a few good 'whores' and leave puritannical smut behind.

I love Morrissey with all my heart - and probably place him above any singer/performer I've ever known for his unmatched ability to express emotions even I have trouble coming to terms with. But I sometimes smell misogyny in the Morrissey community, and an attempt of many "frustrated" men to use his art as a means to embellish and justify this misogyny here... which is obviously quite irritating, since those people are twisting his message to suit their purpose.
