Clearly, Pinks attack is not focussed on other girls, but on other girls choices. In a previous song she describes how she, when she was introduced to the musicindustry, had to adjust herself to the image the recordlabel had created for her (a britney, a jessica). She wants girls to be aware that they can fight this prefab image, and still be a succesfull/popular singer. Stupid girls thus refers to girls who are afraid of choosing their own path in order to achieve their goals.
Rock on, Pink!

Hey, here is somewhere we can agree, out of all the pop power girl bands/ singers she actually seems interested in helping women and not just being mean to boys.

With the exception of the two men in the video NEEDING the big boobs, I thought she was targeting, culture not men, and blaming women for choosing to emulate phoney shallow starlets, not blaming men for forcing the image on them.

Very smart, and she is super hot, not that it matters, but way more appealing than your Jessica Simpson’s or Paris Hiltons.

i'm also a little uncomfortable celebrating as feminist something that basically slams other women. is it really that bad out there that the only pop culture nugget that the feminist blogosphere can rejoice about (as they certainly did) is a song called "stupid girl"?

oh, wait, it really is that bad out there.

It is the girls that choose to emulate the phoney shallow image, that choose to hide their intelligence, they alone are the targets of the insult.

It takes the stance that every girl is free and capable to make their lives more meaningful and deep, to pursue happiness contentedness and self worth on their own terms, she is saying that buying into the “insecurity culture� that promotes being easy, and being shallow in the name of empowerment is stupid.

I think it is the best pop feminist message ever.

Sorry I am all in love with pink at the moment!

If this is not just on my end, you got to see the video to appreciate it’s positives, the things/women that she mocks they deserve it. Pinks a punk in a punkless music scene, the title stupid girls, its just attitude.

Go a page down after the article chose high or low res it should play.

My 10 year old sister recently got sent to the principal's office for calling a girl in her class a bitch. The girl on the receiving end had said that my sister would have more friends if she were "prettier" and "didn't act as smart". I'm totally on board with Pink here, and my sister. Something is seriously wrong in the way girls see themselves and each other in our culture.

I don't think hating other women or their choices is a very good solution. Sure, we all have our judgements, but I wish she would have focused on the problems that create this imbalance rather than just saying others are "stupid girls."

But, at least she got us thinking and talking. No bad publicity, right?

I've been fond of Pink since she called Brittany plastic.

hujo -- one of those 2 inflated breasts spots, the bowling alley, I thought the guys facial expression was of irritation that she thought he was admiring rather than shocked/disapproving and that she thought he needed the big boobs. Pink is subtle enough that may have been the intention.

What, no one realized Pink had tons of subtle jokes and commentary in all her videos?

I don't think hating other women or their choices is a very good solution.

The choice to be anorexic?
The choice to fuck on camera or do strip teases to become a star? A non-porn star, in the youth market?
The choice to have plastic surgery or a boob job?
The choice to act phoney and stupid and shallow to attract men?
The choice to be apathetic to politics and culture?

They are stupid choices; I thought you was all feminists?

I don’t know I think it came off as more drooly drooly over the big boobs, until pink inflated hers then he finally he pays attention to his date, the pig! But only because of the new big boobs. Just the fact they were “average Joes� and were not portrayed to be assholish or stupid men.

This part and the “gym� I found insulting, but the lyrics and overall theme seam to suggest it is not blaming men or the “patriarchy� rather individuals that perpetuate the image/ lifestyle/ culture.

I can get behind her on this.

Here is a link and lyrics/audiofile for her song Mr. President.

I think she is concerned with helping women.

Her music reaches a large audience and there are many great messages for women and girls.

Wondering what you think of this Pink quote i got from an article;

"Guys are going to like us anyway. We don't have to take our clothes off for them to like us and chase us around. It's gonna happen,"

Girls that act stupid definatly get the guys libido what they don't get is the guys respect, love or concern.

I find it honestly really wierd that some feminists would be opposed to the messege in this song.
(Thats it for my pink worship, I will leave this thread alone now, sorry.)

I agree in that it's just a commentary on some girls' actions. How many times have you wanted to shake a friend because of some stupid decision?

You have to love the fact that she proposed to her husband not only as a surprise, but because she could "ride dirtbikes and go to wine tastings" with him.

ctually, I saw an interview she gave where she said she asked him to marry her because she had told him if he ever asked her she was "out the door" and had since realized "it was important to him" and as it meant little to her because she now realized it wouldn't change their relationship.

Love her, love the video. I think I'm just smitten by any woman who can jam on a guitar and tell that mic who's boss.
