CocoRosie criticize Lady Gaga for 'wrong portrayal feminism'

"Lady Gaga once said about feminism: I am no feminist, I love men. That illustrates an interesting misconception about feminism."

[Epicurme]

Criticism of Gaga? Clever title if you want to get hits.  But if people came here looking for reasons to dislike Lady Gaga, they're going to be disappointed. She's not really being criticised, so much as she is being used as an example of someone who does not know why the word feminism is used (not to exclude, but to highlight the examples of inequality.)

What is said here is actually a proactive statement, I think. I don't think it sounds critical at all.

they need to change the title of this video they spoke out on so much more, why degrade them? I hate when the media does this... they misquote and try to devolve everyone's thought process, it's disgusting.

[strongdwarvenale]

the title of the video is misleading, gaga is mentioned as example, nothing more. the portion of the interview is about te feminist concepts behind their music, not about gaga in particular.

I love women, I love men, we are all one, ....

I love bianca's speaking voice... it's so warm and calming.
AND she's even talking true and beautiful things.

I don't understand how her making money is relevant to the situation. Yes, she makes money. Yes she has power. But she is actually using her fame to show support for equality for all humans. I don't understand when people explain she is exploiting causes to gain fame. Supporting something - not matter what - is her own matter and opinions.Don't believe? then don't. It doesn't matter if you accept her support, she has the right on having her own opinions

Click bait title! I'm surprised Face Culture is doing that. I love Cocorosie, by the way.

1:48 what Bianca says is so true. I've a 2 yr old and 6 yr old daughter(s) and the eldest is starting talk about religion and discusses Jesus etc. Whilst I personally don't believe in any of it myself, I don't tell my daughter this as I want her to find her own views and beliefs, but one of the reasons I'm not keen on the idea is because I feel the same as what bianca states and I feel a lot of religion has been created, scribed etc with a heavy leaning towards male dominance. I'm trying to raise both my girls with a clear knowledge that they don't need anyone to provide for them, to make them dependant etc. They can get what they want theirselves, and I hope they will grow to be strong independent women who will know that it can be wonderful to have the love and companionship of a partner etc, but they don't need to be dependant on anyone financially etc as what is important can't be bought. No matter, I'm already a very proud father of both my

Why can't people just listen to the music, also I hate the word hipster to define anything that is original or non understandable from a pov. People need to grow up and stop labeling.

And CocoRosie was right about everything, but vilified because they were ahead of their time.

[evilshoemaker]

Lady Gaga considers herself a feminist because she believes in the equality between men and women, just like all other non-radical feminists. The quote "I'm not a feminist, I love men" was taken many years ago, and has for some reason arisen recently. Since then her opinions have changed clearly, and she has shown great support for women's rights (not in favor of her image, but because she's actually doing something with her fame).

I'll save you time..Lady Gaga like them don't hate men and just because you're a feminist doesn't mean you do xo

where can i watch the full videos of the clips that are shown in this? are they officially released?

[BillWiltfong]

If what gets called "feminism" were about "celebrating the feminine" then I'd be a male feminist deep to the core. But it's not.

[WelfareChrist]

If it makes them feel any better I've always thought that males assuming spiritual superiority (which is found in literally EVERY major world religion) is a result of jealousy at the fact that women give birth.

"Winston Churchhill once said about Naziism: I am no Nazi, I love Jews. That illustrates an interesting misconception about Naziism."
---equally valid. It's pretty much just saying "Ideology A means what I think it means and everybody else has it wrong unless they agree with me.".

[suetube]

Bravo, Cocorosie! Valid points all the way around!

[MrZapo]

Poche persone posso realmente capire la strordinarietà di un'artista come Lady Gaga.

[andycadventuresinsleep]

love CocoRosie so so so much...re: the video, it wasn't Gaga that said she wasn't a feminist as she sees feminism as being about hating men, it was Katy Perry .

Gaga's 100% pro-feminism and doesn't see it as man hating - see watch?v=8skCakDm1sM

I'm not a Gaga fan but felt I should put that bit of info right

[jamieappleseed]

You ladies are great. The celebration of the feminine. Right on.
