Last night I watched a rerun of the episode with the guest hip hop choreographers. I didn't see the hype over them...but whatever.
What made me roll my eyes is they and Ms. D kept saying "you can be girly later!!! We need you to be hardcore hip hop for this!!! Dance like a man!!!"
Uh...I didn't see anything "gangsta" about those dance moves even when the choreographer was doing them. And there are plenty of women dancers who can handle those moves and THEN SOME.
I wanted them to stop marginalizing girlhood as though it is weak and inadequate. These girls can be hardcore at the same time as being girls. It isn't either/or.
It made me think of the "Like a Girl" commercials.
