Twerking: Self-Empowerment or Self-Objectification

Twerking ain't new.  I know this.  I've been shaking my rump and chippin' down de road long enough to now a little something about winding my waist and such.  But all of a sudden in the middle of a super pumped crowd at the Mad Decent Block Party, something changed for me when they invited some ladies to come up on stage for a twerk-off and some girls went on stage not fully understanding what that meant. Clearly they hadn't yet watched any of the instructional youtube videos and were just caught up in the hype of it all.
