While some may shriek with excitement at learning that Robin Thicke will perform at their school, a number of Boston University students are feeling quite the opposite.
In fact, members of the Humanists of Boston University have started a petition urging the school to cancel Thicke’s performance at their spring concert on March 4, at the Agganis Arena, arguing that “it is a dishonor to our feminist history to symbolically idolize Robin Thicke by allowing him to perform his misogynist music at our university.”
The Change.org petition, which as of (recently) had more than 1,500 names attached to it in support, also states, “Thicke’s hit song ‘Blurred Lines’ celebrates having sex with women against their will. Lyrics such as, “I know you want it,” explicitly use non-consensual language. And while watching the extremely explicit video, the insinuations grow from subtle to explicit to obnoxious.”
