Celebrity shows us the power of gender and ownership

This is a really good article from the blog sexbodygender that discusses the way the celebrity chasing, representation, media portrayal actually shows us many times assault, sexual assault and abuse of power but.... becuase it is celebrity we ignore it. By ignoring it all we are doing is maintaining the status quo: Below is a quote from the blog: Thanks to The Sociological Cinema for sharing this link.

Celebrity is possibly the closest analogue that blurs the lines of race and gender, and approximates the level of entitlement society feels about women’s choices, bodies, and sexuality, all the time. The invasive glare of the spotlight and the way people demand access to those who are famous, is comparable to the objectification women are subjected to on a daily basis.
