Dua Lipa Concert Leaves Patriarchy Shook: Men Realize Women Can Be Talented AND Hot
Oh, the horror! In a shocking turn of events, boys everywhere are clutching their pearls as they discover that Dua Lipa is—gasp!—both attractive and talented. Who knew that women could be multifaceted? Not the dudes at ACL, apparently.
On the hellsite we love to hate, TikTok, user @amandatwell shared her traumatic experience. "Y'all want to know what a truly humbling experience is? Going to a Dua Lipa concert with your significant other,” she said, confessing that even her pop-hating boyfriend was swayed by Lipa's magnetism.
Poor Amanda was in for a surprise. "She looks hot in pictures online but I feel like in person it’s just a whole other level. I didn’t know another person’s body could physically look like that,” she lamented.
And the thirst wasn't just real, it was spectacular. Another woman on TikTok proclaimed Dua Lipa the "hottest, sexiest person I’ve ever laid eyes on." Dua, queen of stealing hearts and causing existential crises since 2022.
But let's not forget, Dua's allure isn't just skin deep. She's a multi-platinum feminist and activist, not just a pretty face for the male gaze. Though, let's be real, her Eastern European heritage is being exoticized to sell this "otherworldly siren" narrative. Yikes, white people.
But will I have to school my partner on internalized misogyny at a Dua concert?
Probably not, unless you're dealing with a fragile ego that mixes jealousy with alcohol. Most TikTok captions were playful, like "Dua Lipa just stole my boyfriend’s heart."
Some dudes even managed to be wholesome, posting about enjoying Dua's music without drooling all over her. Progress! One guy wrote, "Nothing like seeing the love of your life doing what they love."
The real heroes, though, were the women filming guys losing their minds over Dua's singles. One woman applauded the "frat boys" who "knew every word", while another shared a vid of her husband singing along.
So, men, take note: Women can be hot and talented. It's not that hard to grasp. Now, let's all get back to dancing to "Levitating."
