Re “I Feel Personally Judged by J. Lo’s Body,” by Jennifer Weiner (Op-Ed, nytimes.com, Feb. 4):

I chose to judge J. Lo and the halftime show at the Super Bowl through a different lens. How does one reconcile the show with the #MeToo movement? To be sure, the technical aspects and performances were first rate. But keeping in mind that this is a show watched by all ages and backgrounds, the dance moves and costumes were more befitting a strip club minus the stripping or a prelude to a soft-porn video.

The show used images meant to excite and seduce. Yet the #MeToo movement is all about not objectifying women, not viewing them through the lens of sex and using sex to manipulate, dominate and take advantage.

The performers are wonderful dancers and good singers. How about costumes and choreography that showcase these talents without having to exploit the overused “sex sells” approach.

I was not offended by the show — just sad and dismayed.

To the Editor:

I was struck by how differently Jennifer Weiner reacted to Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s performance than my friends and I did. Perhaps it is generational — my friends and I are a mix of genders and races in our mid to late 20s — but we focused very little on their appearances. We were more struck by the enthusiastic display of Latino culture and pride, capped by the unfurling of the Puerto Rico flag, at an event hosted by an organization that often ignores social issues concerning their minority players and viewers.
