Left-wing, pro-feminist MTV strongly rejects all forms of sexism, particularly the objectification of women, even equating ads of women in bikinis with “oppression” just last summer.

So, naturally, during their “pro-woman” 2016 Video Music Awards on Sunday night, the network threw some thong-wearing women on stage and had them grip dudes’ junk. #Feminism
The salivating leftist media could not agree more about the glaring message of “Girl Power” pouring out of the VMAs. And [wo]man, were they right.
Between the bare breasts and booties symbolically dismantling the patriarchy with every gyration, to the washed-up, has-been #empowered pop-stars grabbing dudes’ junk while working a mean lip-sync job because they have no talent other than being hot, it was almost too much Girl Power to handle. And absolutely no hypocrisy whatsoever.
The messaging was clear as mud: I, too, can one day become a famous, empowered female pop-star, so long as I look pretty, get naked, shake my behind, and objectify men. Also, objectifying women is bad.
Let’s take a closer look at each wave of empowerment.
During the performance of Ariana Grande and the always-thong-wearing Nicki Minaj, young girls witnessed the pop-stars grab two of their male dancers by the back of the head, lowering them down to their knees to have them simulate oral sex. Remember: Women are not sex objects, only men are.
In that same flavor, we were also fortunate enough to receive an anti-sexism message from the 34-year-old, talentless former pop-star Britney Spears. Wearing nothing more than some yellow dental floss, knee-high boots and sparkles—an ensemble that runs counter to female objectificaion—Ms. Spears grabbed the junk of some rapper not important enough to name.
Lest we forget the “boss” herself, feminist icon Queen Rihanna. RiRi preformed a fawned-over “crotch dance” while endlessly shaking her rump, but only as a figurative act of shaking off male put-upon misogyny. It was so inspiring.
It’s seemingly impossible to keep up with the rules of female empowerment these days, but apparently it’s engaging in the things feminists pretend to stand against and classify as sexist, just as the VMAs showed us this weekend. So go out and be a good feminist, complain about sexist male behavior, mirror it, and then complain some more!
