In many ways I consider myself a modern Woman. I believe in equal rights; I don't believe for even a moment that Women who chose to work outside of the home once having children are any less Motherly or love their children less than those who stay at home; I even voted for Obama and while his performance has been less than stellar, I still don't think the other yahoos would have done any better. I won't bore you with all of things I believe, that is getting off of my true topic anyway.
Last night while watching Lady Gaga perform Edge of Glory on the season 10 finale of American Idol, I was bothered by her performance, it grossed me out a little. She was all but having sex on national television with one of her male dancers. I actually like Lady Gaga and I feel that some of her music actually has a positive message for this generation, but this performance took it too far for me and I asked my self "why is she doing that, what good can possibly come of that?" She's on the EDGE alright, but I don't know if it's the Edge of glory. She's always "pushed the boundaries" and hey, you know what, I get it, I've never been a big fan of rules myself, but when is it just too much? Pushing the boundaries just for the sake of pushing the boundaries is dumb! I'm all about standing up for what you believe in or for people you believe in, but we live in a society that I feel has taken it too far.
I don't want my daughter to grow up in a world where "anything goes", we need to get back to a place where right and wrong exist and children grow up with morals and respect their elders. I don't want things to revert to the 1950's way of living, I could never live up to those standards, but isn't there a happy medium somewhere? Maybe we should all start wearing WWJD bracelets again!
