Ciara Proves She’s All Woman
Since the first photos of Ciara posing in the buff for Vibe Magazine hit the net, fans and non fans alike have been wondering why Ciara, a singer who has been relatively modest about her displaying her sexuality, would make such a bold move and disrobe for all of the world to see. Well, one quick glance at a quote from the magazine pretty much tells the tale. “They said I was a man! It doesn’t get any worse than that”. It appears all those nasty internet rumors about the singer forced her to make a very in your face statement about what she was working with.

I find it very interesting that Ciara would go this far to prove to everyone she is not a man. I feel someone in her position should have a higher self esteem to not feel like she needs to explain herself to anyone. If a man was in this position he would probably care less and/or laugh about it. Also if a man posed nude on the cover of a magazine it wouldnt cause as much buzz. Women are seen as sex objects and the focus of financial gain for most businesses. As she grows up and makes that transition into womanhood, she starts to wear less and less clothes. Is this how she identifies with being a woman? or is this what a woman is suppose to do? what ever happened with sweet 16s and quinceaneras?
i agree with most of everything John Doe said excpet that i think it would be an even bigger deal if a man posed nude on a cover of a magazine. We're used to seeing a woman show it all for the world to see but i man doing it would come as quite a shock, at least thats what i think
There is nothing wrong with being a man, but I can understand why Ciara may be offended by people accusing her of being one. There are certain aspects of a woman that are very womanlike and any woman may feel offended. I do, however, disagree with her choice of posing nude to prove her femininity. There are more tasteful ways of proving yourself to the world.
If a guy was to be accused of being a girl, I feel as thought the guy would do almost anything to try and prove is manly-ness. Being called a girl is just like being called gay. I don't agree with john doe in the fact that men would "care less/ or laugh about it" When a man in normal society is called gay or a pussy he then joins the football team or starts to dress in a more manly way, do things that are sterotypically tied to being a man.
I don't think ciara needed to prove anything, but to fit in with society and be socially accepted as MOST people want, she had to do something to prove her sex (this may have been extreme, but she picked this way for a reason, maybe as a shock factor and also to prove how bad socity really is judging her, she had to go this far.
I think its crazy what the media will say and do. Just because an artist doesn't flaunt her sexuality... she is suddenly a man? I wonder if she wanted to go that far to throw it back in the medias face, or if she just felt pressure to conform with the sex appeal that so many artists survive off of. But I guess in the end sex sells, so her being a women artist she probably felt the need to do the photo shoot.
I could be wrong but I thought I read somewhere that she was not even suppose to be nude, but that they photoshopped her to look like that.
