Dance Off of the Sexes

I'm not much for the battle of the sexes. It's just not my feminism. I don't think the girls versus guys competition really gets us anywhere, it just breeds more animosity between the sexes.

But if we're talking dance offs...it is ON. Which is why I really, really hope that Beyonce's latest is the first in a series of girls versus boys dance offs. I feel like the Spice Girls really threw down the gauntlet in the late 90's with their Girl Power schtick but from a feminist see-privilege-say-something stance, it was really White Girl Power...so it's nice to see Beyonce taking it into the next century with a more inclusive stance. The dudes in riot gear in the desert bring it into a contemporary international setting (veiled implication, y'all).

So. Who do you think will return the volley?

I think the recycling of an old Major Lazer beat--the auto-tuned crying baby, basically one of that album's calling card statements--is a little lazy. Guess Diplo's too busy talking shit about M.I.A. and, like, getting tatts  all "cap on rim bent Denzel e'ry time" to try for B.
