Today's Lesbians

Katy Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl" is about easist way to define the way that today's youth views Lesbianism. In the music video for this song the idea of the over sexualized woman is portrayed. This is the view that what empowers a women is her choice in sexuality, or rather her freedom to flexible in her sexuality.

Like in the article "Hot Lesbians" by Sue Jackson, Lesbianism is viewed as nothing more than a fad. However this is a double standard when taken in the context of men's sexuality. When on youtube you find parodies of Katy Perry's video which deal with men. It is almost as if bisexuality for men is nothing more than a joke.

  1. i agree with you that there is a double standard between lesbians and gay men. it really isn't fair. the parody you have is great, but it is kinda funny how the person that made it just says boy when needed.
