Robin Thicke Sexist of the Year: Robin Thick Defends Blurred Lines Sexism Charges; Song Is About His Wife; Robin Thicke and Paula Patton Split Nothing to Do With It?

Robin Thicke Sexist: Robin Thicke is in the thick of it again and he can't blame the Miley Cyrus MTV VMAs Performance in 2013, this time. But The End Violence Against Women Coalition named Robin Thicke a sexist. Not just any sexist, but the "Sexist of the Year." 

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." 

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton recently Split up.

This isn't the first time Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines has been getting controversy. 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. Robin Thicke is capping a big year. He hit the spotlight after the Miley Cyrus performance at the MTV VMAs 2013 Thicke was accused by the family of Marvin Gaye for plagiarism after Thicke mashed together a song by Marvin Gaye and a hit by Parliment to bring the song together.

The debate over "Blurred Lines" started when Robin Thicke released a sexy NSFW music video. In the original version of the video, three models are naked, while their male counterparts are fully clothed.  

But it wasn't just the video, Robin Thicke was voted "Sexist of the Year" by a 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.

The End Violence Against Women Coalition works to end sexual and domestic violence and trafficking against women.

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'."
