http://www.upworthy.com/the-way-this-gay-video-blogger-answers-a-close-minded-question-is-absolutely-hilarious?c=ufb1 <-- Definitely watch this video, it's only about two minutes long!
I first came across this video back in June when a friend of
mine posted it on facebook, and for some reason it came to my mind today. The
video was made by a video blogger named Hart. I actually haven’t watched any of
her other videos, so I’m not sure what kind of videos she typically does.
However, I thought this video was awesome! She made it to address the issue
that, due to her being a lesbian, she often gets the question- “If you love
women so much, why don’t you dress like one?” During the video she actually
shows a small screen shot of one comment she received, which states: “Why do
some lesbians look like men? I mean.. don’t they like girls, so wouldn’t that
mean they should want to look like a female or act more like one? I’m guessing
it is because they try to imitate a male model to represent one to care for
another while it not being as awkward?” First of all, this logic doesn’t make
sense to me in the first place—according to this, if I’m a woman who likes men,
then I should want to dress like a man. Aside from that, though, I liked the
fact that she answered the question by saying that she doesn’t dress like anyone. She dresses like herself. It’s
terrible that this is a question that she gets so frequently, but I think that
her video was a great, hilarious response to it.
Haha, that video was pretty good. At first, I was a little confused (and weirded out lol) with her wearing the watermelon outfit, but it totally makes sense! She makes a strong point when she says that just because you love something doesn't mean you have to wear it. I mean I love ice cream but you don't see me going around wearing it as an outfit! Because that would be very messy and awkward. Lol :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked this- it was such a funny way to address a serious concern! People like to put each other in boxes and hold tight to stereotypical images because it is convenient. This video blogger does a good job of confronting the ridiculousness of some of those stereotypes.
