The Trouble With Morten Harket Is..

The trouble with Morten Harket is that he is just too sexy for his own good and it is a quality that is proving to be more of a hindrance than a help.

Noticeably sexism is starting to shift - not moved out of the picture by the feminist movement, but into their favour, as after years of ‘get your tits out for the lads’, women are now starting to get their own back on the unexpected good lookers, including good old Harket himself.

I suppose some will say it’s all a bit of harmless fun, but when a man’s music plays second fiddle to his heaving pecks and skirt covered groin, well there’s got to be something wrong!! Morten could’ve been singing nursery rhymes on the night of the Hanover Grand gig and not many would’ve noticed the difference. OK, so he joked (?) about being circumcised and does naturally exude a sensual sexuality, but it is like saying the woman in the slinky red number was asking to be raped.

We are all guilty of admiring the way people look, but it is a shallow flirtation as shallow as outer beauty itself, with no excuse to treat another person like a cheap piece of meat or an object of sexual derision. Morten Harket stood on that stage with no sexual intent - he came to be a musician not a male stripper and yet so many assume, because of his status, that he’s the type of guy who loves to be touched, who is there to be touched, even if it isn’t in his job description.

All women out there who have been sexually harassed in numerous ways; The man talking to your breasts, the building site wolf whistles, or the way a harmless kiss to some men is conditionally followed by sex, have a good think and try to imagine how Morten feels and felt on the night when his album that he worked so hard on and felt so much for, was less important than the blue of his eyes and the size of his manhood.

A changing world??!! Women’s Lib is a crock. We will never be equal while members of the feminist movement think improvement is foresaking their own gender - by not blending into the once man’s world, but by becoming the men in it.
