Kate Perry has recently declared herself a feminist, but gentlemen please don’t be alarmed and worry that the lady who AskMen once referred to the “front-and-center all-American sex symbol in pop music" will be burning her push-up bra or hanging up her stiletto heels anytime soon.
The saucy songbird has a new take on feminism and according to her, it’s all about “loving men”.
kate Perry may have been given a rougher than rough ride by bearded Brit buffoon Russell Brand, but the Californian babe who once “Kissed a Girl” and then became “One of the Boys” still has a lot of faith in the ‘unfair sex.
In fact, the California girl’s definition of feminism is all about loving herself as a female and also making a particular point of loving men.
The cracker who likes to sing about being a firework, told host Karl Stefanovic on Australian morning show “I Wake Up With Today” that she now considers herself a feminist, and when asked for her own personal definition of the term, Kate Perry replied, “I used to not really understand what that word meant, and now that I do, it just means that I love myself as a female and I also love men."
Which is pretty good news for any dude who fears the word feminism is just another word for, “Dude! I hate you because you’re a dude. It’s nothing personal but I’m a feminist and you’re a man, therefore you are the enemy. Gabeesh?”
Of course, as stated by God, sorry Wikipedia, feminism is, “A collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women.”
In essence feminism is great, but in the wrong hands it can get uglier than a rat’s ass and there are those mean-spirited souls who would use the much feared ‘F-word’ as a means to justify their own superiority complexes, wear terrible clothes, smell slightly unpleasant and deny all women their god-given right to be, well, simply women.
Moody existentialists such as Simone de Beauvoir may have enjoyed dressing in dowdy old black outfits, as they chain-smoked suspicious cigarettes and argued that the ‘eternal feminine’ was a man-made construct made to subjugate women, but, ask any marketing men worth his salt and he’ll tell you, the likes of Kate Perry have the ‘eternal feminine’ by the bucket load and that’s something that most people dig.
In fact when the big bearded macho guy in the sky put down his baseball bat and bottle of beer to make Kate Perry, he was probably thinking something along the lines of, “Imagine what Eve could have been like without her wanton ways and that appalling attitude of hers which got her into so much trouble.”
Still, haters gonna hate, critics gonna criticize and ugly people gonna get uglier, it’s what they do best, but when some bull-faced green-eyed hippo with elephant legs and a hog’s snout starts criticizing Kate Perry in the press for having no real understanding of feminism, just remember what Kate said in 2012 after being named Billboard’s Woman of the Year, “I am not a feminist, but I do believe in the power of women.”
Now let us hear you roar lioness!
