Now here’s a question for all you gentlemen out there… Do you find this unsettling? Well I’ve got news for you - this is actually quite common female behavior. It just so happens that Lady Gaga apparently has no inhibitions and isn’t ashamed of acknowledging the female gene that I shall coin the “stalker-gene”. This phenomenon has gotten all the more effortless with the advent of the Internet and more specifically of course, Facebook. Women no longer have to resort to hiring detectives to discover the on goings of their love interests.
I would also like to point out that in the video Miss Gaga calls the police and says to the operator “I killed my boyfriend” after having poisoned the said boyfriend. Coming from a pop star idolized by many young girls, it seems as though we will have to deal with an influx of “man eaters” in the near future. Unsettlingly enough this term appears to be increasingly literal. My advice to you: sleep with one eye open.

i always thought her whole point was to be facetious, not literal?
i don't really think we can base these kinds of actions on our gender. as you said, the internet has opened up an entire new gateway for us to pry into people's lives, but i wouldn't necessarily say that it is only the 'female' species that acts/reacts a specific way based on our genetics. by using biology as a determinant we are erasing the years of progression women have made over the past century and are excluding individuals who may or may not identify within this specific heteronormative gender binary.
whether she is being facetious or literal, she is touching a subject that concerns many women - or at least many women i know. regardless of her intentions, they may not be as important as how her message is perceived by the audience.
by using the term 'gene' i was merely trying to be comical and not at all wanting to come off as being prejudice. if i offended anyone, it was not my aim and i apologize. i was simply basing this statement on what i've been exposed to in my entourage and saw a resemblance that i wanted to bring to light. of course, this was a generality and there are many people whom this may or may not concern.
