Not sure where or if this fits in.. But in recent music, 'larger' women are being 'empowered' by lyrics explaining that "men like curves, not bone" etc, accompanying the music videos with copious amounts of "twerking", grinding and air humping, which is all a bit bizarre as it doesn't LOOK empowering.. It looks degrading? Sexually suggestive music and music videos make more money than original, well written music that probably deserves more recognition.
I cba to post a link (and possibly corrupt OWF), but take a look at a music video called 'Anaconda' by "Nicki Minaj"... It's literally a song ENTIRELY about fat asses. It samples Sir Mix-a-lot's "baby got back" which is almost exactly the same lyrically. Meh. Or even look at video by a creepy disease ridden creature known as a "Miley Cyrus".. It's all sex sex sex... But it sells. Compare the sales of songs by Artists like these to your favourite Rock/Metal/Punk band, you'll probably feel like crying.

It
is about empowerment though. They own their own bodies, they take the power of sex away from men.
That's not to say I'm fond of the music, but I get what they're trying to do.
