Pop Star and Feminist...Can there be?

In a world full fame, sex, and money can a celebrity be a feminist while still following fame?

Attached is a really interesting article about pop stars and feminism. This article discuss whether or not being a pop stars can go hand-in-hand with being a feminist. Often pop stars, specifically female pop stars, over sexualize themselves and confine to the patriarchal normalises - however this is often a requirement for making it 'big' in the pop world. So does conformin to these pop star norms mean that the women we see in pop culture today are anti-feminists? Most of female pop stars define themselves as feminist or state they believe in equality and female power at one point or another in their career. But can tell have it both ways? Or are pop stars in fact a slap in the face to feminists?

This article discusses both sides to the pop star and feminism arguement. Frankly after reading it I am not sure where I even stand on whether or not a pop star can be a feminism. The article suggests that the majority of feminists are too exclusive and do not realize there are different ways to be a feminist.

I would highly suggest reading it, as it might give you a better insight into the fame world we are so obsessed with. This article addresses instances in pop culture that are happening now. Lady Gaga, Miley, RiRi, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Lilly Allen are just a few of the celebrity songsisters that this article mentions. Definitely an interesting read.
