theres a guy in my asian art hist. class who is visually the epitome of a redneck stereotype except hes an art history major and is very clearly passiomate about it
imagine a bowlegged white guy with a beard wearing flannel, a belt buckle, and cowboy boots talk about the intricacies of a hindu temple in sri lanka. this is the future liberals want
honestly, when you see either ariana’s dangerous woman docuseries, taylor’s reputation stadium tour, or any beyoncé’s performance, you really realise how wide the gap between male and female performance standards goes…….. the artists i just mentionned go to extreme lengths to offer both a visual and vocal show to whoever buys tickets to see them, they deliver on special effects, fierce looking but usually demanding stage outfits (imagine just the pain from the heels!), !!!choreos!!!, their concerts are like the whole package. and when you compare it to a shawn mendes, ed sheeran, harry styles or a lot of male performer’s show, it’s blatantly painful to see the difference : absolutely no hate towards them (i love them!!), but male artists get to just grab their guitar and microphone, throw some light effects in the mix, wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and NO ONE IS SHOOKED, and i just hate these double standards. imo that’s just yet another reflection of how women are expected to do so?? much?? more?? all the time. anyway, all i’m saying is i wish that female artists could design tours where it’s just them in tshirt and jeans, with their guitar, and still be recognised as the artists that they are, and that male artists would sometimes step up, or feel free to step up their game
