Well, whether or not it's empowering depends on the person doing it, doesn't it? If you feel empowered wearing lingerie on stage, awesome. If you don't, then you're not. Someone might feel really powerful shedding off those layers and rocking it. Someone else might feel uncomfortable with it, as though they were obligated because "sex sells" or otherwise feel nothing at all.

General yes that men should also feel free to wear lingerie on stage though. :)

This exactly! Different things feel empowering to different people. Are some women being sold a line about lingerie being empowering simply because audiences want to see them wearing lingerie? Yeah, absolutely. But in Lizzo's case specifically, it feels genuine-- both fat women and darker skinned women get the message that they are not as desirable as thinner/lighter girls are, that they aren't beautiful ('pretty for a big/dark girl', anyone?), that if they ARE sexy, it's as a fetish or it's in a specific way dictated by society... Being beautiful and sexy in soft, romantic white lingerie becomes empowering when you're told that's something for other girls, girls you don't look like.

Of course, not all women would feel empowered wearing lingerie on stage even so, but some feel empowered wearing lingerie at home with a partner who validates how she owns and presents her sexiness, and some feel empowered wearing lingerie at home with no one at all, just for themselves. It feels empowering to take and own something you've been told isn't for you, and sometimes pretty lingerie actually IS that thing. Different women have different experiences.

Also, big yes to men also feeling empowered by rocking some lingerie. (and hey, some do-- ever been to a Rocky Horror night?)
