There are obvious differences between men and women. Once the smuttier of you look beyond the bouncing boobies or the swinging willies, things take a sinister, much darker path. Men are seen as the dominant aggressor with males receiving higher salaries and gaining more power in the company food chain.
This train of thought dilutes to almost everywhere in society. Pop music constantly sees women having to reinvent themselves so they maintain an audience, or as it's known, the male gaze.
Do The Saturdays want to prance around in the knickers or sing catchy songs? We?ll never know, but we doubt Loaded Magazine haven't offered Bob Dylan a shoot in sexy French lingerie. With Rihanna and Britney Spears already make an effort to keep up with Lady Gaga; it was the turn for Leona Lewis to look edgy and cool at the premier of Justin Bieber?s recent film. Even though she has the X-Factor PR monster behind her, it didn't stop the Bleeding Love singer looking stupid.
It would be weird to think that, after the whole Sky Sports fiasco involving the two ape men, everyone would be treated as some sort of ridiculous equal. But this won't be happening anytime soon, especially given the fragile state of the world.
Somewhere, probably in an industrial estate near Glasgow, a factory churns out fresh faced girls who aspire to be singers, dancers and models. They are the sort of people who are high on life, laughing off stepping in dog muck and hug passers-by in the street, telling them how lovely their hair looks. Basically, these people are ready to pounce and replace any existing pop star who does something moronic or decides to shun the corporate script their record label gave them to follow ? just like at The Sugababes.
All female musicians seemingly go through a time warp of transitions. Rihanna for example is the latest starlet to be transformed from cute and innocent girl to a sex ravaged, bondage mad electro starlet in the latest video for S&M. For a woman who was publicly assaulted by R&B bucktooth Chris Brown, we fail to see that Rihanna would want to actively engage in an activity where consenting couples or strangers beat the shit out of each other with whips, belts and whisks attached to drainpipes.
But then again, it's okay to do this – sex sells so Rihanna will get a number one song. Hooray, for her, it doesn't matter about the impressionable nine year old girl who?ll think it's perfectly normal to ask her mother for a trip to Ann Summers so she can purchase her first pair of PVC knickers and love eggs.
Men don't have to constantly evolve their image when releasing new albums. When they do, results aren't pretty and the vibe given off is one of ?what a pretentious prick.? Razorlight recently showed what happened when you let a stylist dress you as a Victorian living in Mexico. If only record companies had pushed some of their bands to do something more than dire dross. Oasis wouldn't have then released multiple albums that sounded like outtakes of Definitely Maybe.
It's strange that Leona Lewis continues to be a pop star. Anything less than first place in X-Factor would have forced her in to a life of dressing as a giant hamburger and singing to children, subsequently brainwashing them that the food they’re guzzling is nutritious and won't cause obesity. To a degree, she's doing that now really, singing a load of ballads or cover versions that have the same charm as a bucket full of seal eyes. People cheer and froth at the mouth like she's a musical genius and has done something amazing like conduct an orchestra with the baton wedged in her buttocks.
Public appearances for the singer are rare, so when Leona Lewis does appear, grabbing the attention from someone like Christina Aguilera is a must. By crikey we're proud to say that she did this. Now it wasn?t done through placing a curse on Justin Bieber or urinating in the punch bowl. No, she wore a massive trout pout across her chest. Metro explains more:
?The top which she designed herself featured a sheer section onto which the hot pink lips were attached to cover her modesty. Leona combined this with a black high-wasted pencil skirt and grey heels. ?
Basically, it looked like she was inviting you to kiss her boobs, all before getting you done for naughty touching. If she'd consulted us, we?d have given her a pantomime horse?s outfit. She's permanently got the look of a hose attached to her gormless face.

Is she still being foisted on the public?
I thought she was languishing in the obscurity she so richly deserves.
