"What, what are you looking at?! SEXIST!!!"

She recently called out the double standards surrounding men and women who want to be viewed sexually.
Emily - who shot to fame as one of the dancers in Robin Thicke controversial Blurred Lines video - recently accused the nation of being sexist in it's view of men and women expressing their sexuality. Writing in the October issue of Glamour magazine, she reasoned: 'It’s absurd to think that desire for attention doesn’t drive both women and men. Why are women scrutinized for it more, then? 'Our society doesn’t question men’s motivations for taking their shirt off, or shaving, or talking about politics—nor should it. Wanting attention is genderless. It’s human.' The feisty brunette used the examples of Mick Jagger, 73, and Madonna, 58, in her essay, as she asked why the Rolling Stones star is applauded for dancing provocatively whilst shirtless, as Madonna is dubbed a 'hot mess' for her scanty ensembles. 'But isn’t she just making one of her signature political statements about female sexuality (and, incidentally, about our ageist, sexist culture too)? ' the star asked.
Emily has been vocal in her mission to stamp out sexism, and earlier this year she wrote an essay on the sexualisation of young women for Lena Dunham's Lenny newsletter. Explaining that she was told to cover up more as she began modelling in her teens, the star stated: 'The implication is that to be sexual is to be trashy because being sexy means playing into men's desires. 'To me, "sexy" is a kind of beauty, a kind of self-expression, one that is to be celebrated, one that is wonderfully female. 'Why does the implication have to be that sex is a thing men get to take from women and women give up?'

Of course it’s sexist. Real men and women appreciate that.
She just wants attention.
Children are funny when they encounter ancient issues and imagine that they’re the first ones to think of them. The louder they are about it, the funnier.
"What, what are you looking at?! SEXIST!!!"
I’ve noticed there are three kinds of people where I work.
1. people
2. men
3. Women
The people are just sorta there. They are not male nor female, though you can guess their sex pretty easily.
The men are men. They act like men. They are comfortable being men. They are “sexist” by this author’s standards. They dress and move in noticeably male ways. You can tell that they definitely identify as “male”. They like when women treat them as “men”.
The Women are women. They dress like women. They like the way they look. They like when men look at them, as long as it stays under the “creepy” or “stalker” radar and dress for it. They LIKE being treated as “women”. They like when the door is held for them. They like when men intentionally avoid saying certain things in front of them. They like that they are different from the men.
I can tell just by her walk, and clothing, when I’m looking at a woman vs a female person. It’s not as easy with men because, well, I am one.
She was sizzling in that video, but the neurons do not connect well for many of these gals.
And by the way, that video IS a fearsomely blatant ripoff of Marvin Gaye, and if one does not think so, it’s because they weren’t alive when “Got to Give it Up” came out.
No matter how hot she is, somewhere there’s a guy who is tired of her s***.
the problem is that the women now want all the advantages of being male without the feeling of ‘being romanced’ as a princess. pick one or the other
Make me a sammich.
I’ll put up with her (for awhile).
blurred lines video girl, starred on HBO’s Entourage...
So, her major claim to fame is that she’s the hot flavor of the moment, and she’s railing against “sexism” in entertainment.
