WWW: Some excellent points and you have addressed the main debate well.
EBI: Theory is a weakness: surely the video would support Butler's theory even if she would object against the video itself. McRobbie's is also a little confused.
LR: Look again at the Theorists:
How would they respond to the video?
For McRobbie, it may depend upon how she would react to the Blurred Lines video as, as she believes that women have the right to flaunt what they have in magazines, television etc. Blurred Lines may make her struggle within her decision as the video is far too explicit including the naked version and may get her to change her views upon the women in society in general.
For Butler, as she disagrees with women being represented in a less dominant way, she may also have mixed feelings towards this music video as the believes that gender roles are constructed and that if you are born a woman then in society you will be shown to be lower but as she disagrees with that, she may disagree with the music video due to the way the women are portrayed in the naked version.
