Why Lady Gaga, why?

Not questioning the purple wig (which I actually think sort of rocks), but in the midst of her bizarro interview, she (see 1:55 in) calls an interviewer out on the double standard that women artists get expressing sexuality as opposed to male rock artists, but then quickly shies away from the f-word:

You see, if I was a guy, and I was sitting her with a cigarette in my hand, grabbing my crotch and talking about how I make music ’cause I love fast cars and fucking girls, you’d call me a rock star. But when I do it in my music and in my videos, because I’m a female, because I make pop music, you’re judgmental, and you say that it is distracting. I’m just a rock star.
Are you also a feminist?
I’m not a feminist – I, I hail men, I love men. I celebrate American male culture, and beer, and bars and muscle cars… (Emphasis mine)

Sigh, and the stigma continues. Good on Gaga for making a feminist statement, but bad on her for not owning it as one.
Community poster fwordspeaks also offers thoughts on the video.
