Robin Thicke Sexist: Robin Thicke's problems didn't start with the Miley Cyrus MTV VMAs Performance in 2013, but it was a sign of things to come. The End Violence Against Women Coalition has named Robin Thicke "Sexist of the Year." The debate over "Blurred Lines" started when Robin Thicke released a sexy NSFW music video.Last month, for instance, there was an online petition on Change.org to get Robin Thicke banned from this year's Juno Awards because of the racy "Blurred Lines" music video.

But it wasn't just the video, Thicke's Blurred Lines song lyrics were equally credited by the End Violence Against Women Coalition, which works to end sexual and domestic violence and trafficking against women.  In the original version of the video, three models are naked, while their male counterparts are fully clothed.  
The director of the "Blurred Lines" music video, Diane Martel, explained to Grantland magazine "I wanted to deal with the misogynist, funny lyrics in a way where the girls were going to overpower the men. Look at Emily Ratajkowski's [the brunette] performance; it's very, very funny and subtly ridiculing. That's what is fresh to me. It also forces the men to feel playful and not at all like predators. I directed the girls to look into the camera, this is very intentional and they do it most of the time; they are in the power position. I don't think the video is sexist. The lyrics are ridiculous, the guys are silly as fuck. That said, I respect women who are watching out for negative images in pop culture and who find the nudity offensive, but I find [the video] meta and playful."

Robin Thicke is capping a big year. He hit the spotlight after the Miley Cyrus performance at the MTV VMAs 2013 and accused of plagiarism after copping licks from Marvin Gaye, Robin hit a new milestone.

Robin Thicke was voted "Sexist of the Year" by a group that represents dozens of women's groups in the United Kingdom. Thicke was named the year's top sexist by the End Violence Against Women Coalition after the lyrics to his worldwide number one hit "Blurred Lines" were deemed "rapey."

Robin Thicke defended lines like "I know you want it" and "I'll give you something big enough to tear your a** in two", but which sounded like it celebrated non-consensual sex.
In a statement about "Blurred Lines," which also featured T.I. and Pharrell the coalition's Sarah Green said "Our heartfelt congratulations to a worthy winner Robin Thicke for both his concerted sexist efforts, and in the end the platform he created for rejection of the use of women as objects to promote mediocre pop."
For his output Thicke won a voucher to download Aretha Franklin's "R.E.S.P.E.C.T." Let's just hope he doesn't take the chords, change the lyrics and call it his own.
Thicke's told GQ magazine,"People say, 'Hey, do you think this is degrading to women?' I'm like, 'Of course it is. What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman. I've never gotten to do that before'."

Robin said he wrote "Blurred Lines" for his wife, Paula Patton. He told BBC News, "I don't think people got it out here in the UK in those positions of power. I think the kids get it. I just have to deal with that. I wrote it about my wife. She's my good girl. And I know she wants it because we've been together for 20 years so I can vouch for that."
