The Big Bad Wolf

This is a music video for a techno song "The Big Bad Wolf" by Duck Sauce.
The song has no lyrical relation to the video, but the video itself is strangely provocative and somewhat disturbing, in that the reproductive organs of the male and females in this video are in fact second heads.
This relates with the lecture about talking penises and vaginas. The sexual organs are shown to have their own heads, and they display a different personality than that of the actual person. When the males get sexually aroused by the women surrounding them, the song howls (which is just a cool sound sample for the song), and it represents a kind of sexual urge for indulgence. The idea that penises and vaginas have their own mind and mentality are personified in this video. It can easily be disturbing, as I personally was dumbfounded when I saw this video, but the relation to the fables of talking penises and vaginas are clearly interpreted and represented in this video.

they say men think with their penises, and in this video, it's clear that the penis head is dominant in it's decision making, as in the end of the video, they end up in bed having "sex" with females they find attraction towards.

When I saw this video, I couldn't help but think of this gender class and the talking vagina/penis lecture specifically.

  1. Damn! I was going to post this. Such a good video, good eye. Anyway....

    This video I found is a capture of Intersectionality and the adverse effects it has specifically on women. The cartoon that pops up specifically at 35 seconds into the video really opened my eyes to one of many ways in which Intersectionality aids in the discrimination of women, more so than it does men even. To date women, have suffered far more oppression and discrimination than men. The ideal that dominance is predominantly a males trait has persisted for as long as we can remember. This video truly opened my eyes to the possibilities of Intersectionality.

    I can't embed video's with this kind of account so here's the link.
