Who is Really Wearing the Penis?



As if Lady Gaga didn't already have enough of a hypothetical penis, here she is on the front of "The UK's Biggest Magazine" wearing a giant black strap-on. We all know that Gaga is really into making big statements, but is this really a statement. It definitely has the shock value that Gaga would want. Yet it was mentioned in class that this may not be as much of a statement as woman may think. Do woman really need to wear a penis to make a statement? Is the penis the only thing our society views as powerful. Really if we think about it anything masculine is viewed as powerful, while anything feminine is viewed as weak. Or is it when a woman puts on a penis she is embracing her inner power as a woman. Some kind of feminist statement. There are so many ways we could interpret this photo. By putting on this penis do people just assume that Gaga is a lesbian. It seems whenever a woman tries to make a statement by showing her masculinity it becomes viewed as an act of  being a lesbian. When it comes down to it though there really is know way we can control how people interpret a photo like this. So I say good for you Gaga you wear that penis better than most men!!!!
