Lady Power possible response

Nancy Bauer, author of “Lady Power,” wrote this article to question modern feminist Lady Gaga and examine how old society roles still influence our way of thinking.  Bauer first takes the reader through some of Gaga’s claims about her role as a modern day feminist.  Then Bauer describes one of Gaga’s videos, “telephone.”  Following this description she begins to introduce her argument.  Bauer believes that our society’s view of women is still not equal to that of a man’s.  Women, she claims, are still seen as objects, however, unlike in the past men are not the only ones labeling us in this way.  Bauer claims that today women are putting this label on ourselves.  In her article, Bauer directs her argument at women who a relatively young.  By doing this Bauer is limiting the scope of her article down to only a portion of the population.  Bauer constructs her article using ethos and very little pathos.  Bauer appeals to us ethically by pointing out what she calls hook-up-hangover and by accusing us of allowing this to occur. These parts make us question how we act in our own lives and question why.  Although, Bauer does appeal to our sense of ethics she never offers a solution to this problem or offer an opposing view to her argument.  Bauer neglects to acknowledge any opposing arguments, which makes her own argument questionable. Also the lack of pathos makes it difficult to decide my feelings about this topic. I did appreciate how Bauer allowed me to ultimately make my own decisions about the topic but I would like to better understand how Bauer feels about modern feminism.  Overall I found Bauer's weak and slightly tough to follow.
