“She is not a girl,” said Dr. Gustav von Helmholtz, who organized the Dusseldorf event. “However, she is not yet a woman.”
The question of whether Britney Spears is a girl or a woman has puzzled scientists for years, so the Dusseldorf findings–that Ms. Spears is not a girl, not yet a woman–represent a significant breakthrough.
Furthermore, the news that Ms. Spears is not a girl, not yet a woman is crucial, the conference participants appear to be saying, because it will determine how people treat the multi-platinum artist in the future.
“There is no need to protect her,” said Dr. Reimar Ertel, one of the conference participants. “It’s time that she learned to face up to this on her own.”
Some of the scientists who attended the Dusseldorf event indicated that, given her unique status as someone who is not a girl, not yet a woman, Ms. Spears might need, in the words of Dr. Hans Mintrop, “time, a moment that is hers, while she’s in between.”
The findings of the Dusseldorf scientists, as documented in a report by Dr. Johann Wiechert, were ultimately upbeat about Ms. Spears’ future.
“She’s not a girl, don’t tell her what to believe,” Dr. Weichert wrote. “Not yet a woman, she is just trying to find the woman in her, yeah.”
