Come on people "Blurred Lines" says it all. He says "I know you want it" and "But you're a good girl". If you go to any club or party whatever the messages that women give out are confusing. As in blurred lines..... Dirty dancing, dressing like a stripper and being as seductive as hell but men can see that they are young and appear to be hesitant when the time comes to follow through on their actions. Therefore it is hard to know what they really want. I see a lot of girls acting out on the dance floor then the lights come on and they flee. Blurred lines....
It's about projection. He wants them so obviously they want him...in HIS mind.

Because the way a girl acts on the dance floor implies she wants to be raped?
Victim blaming at it's finest. A girl dancing is not an invitation to sex. If she "wants it", then there wouldn't be any blurred lines.

This is not consent, it's not enthusiastic consent, it is rape.

"If she "wants it", then there wouldn't be any blurred lines."
Exactly! Very well put!!
I have been hit on, when out with my girlfriends, and told the guy that it was a Girls' Night Out with my friends and I am married and not interested. He replied, "Then why are you here?!" as if the only reason people go out is to hook up. That was obviously why HE goes out. Projection! We have even resorted to gay bars to avoid creepers! Gay men understand we are out to dance and have fun because they are not into us any more...

This is how I interpreted the song when I first heard it and was surprised when I read some of the reviews that talked about rape. I usually have no problem jumping in a conversation about woman's rights and rape culture, but I genuinely think the meaning of this song has been misconstrued. (I'm nervous about even typing this comment right now.) It bothers me how we can have real issues concerning gender discrimination and rape out there, yet this song is the primary focus of discuss.
