Oh no no...I think you misunderstood me, Goblin...I didn't mean that *you* had said anything anti-feminist or anti-animal at all. I just meant that the image of a naked Gaga oozing sexuality while draped in the flesh of animals whom people had slaughtered, ignoring or not caring that those animals had feelings and presumably enjoyed life...was anti-Feminist and anti-animal.
The nudity isn't anti-Feminist in and of itself. There is nothing wrong with nudity, I feel, and women and men being able to be naked publicly may be an important part of equality within a culture. But since women's bodies are used more often than men in a naked state to sell products or ideas, Lady Gaga's use of her nudity to try to make her point continues that unequal trend of valuing women more for their bodies than their minds, and valuing men more for their minds than their bodies.
Hmm....Lady Gaga in a grandma's jumper adorned with raw steaks. You are probably right...that wouldn't get her point across. That would be more like a comment that old people are not viewed as sexual when they should be!
