I feel this
and btw I only shared my views (in OP) to throw my hat in the ring
i'm fine with the song, i like the song, good for them for getting money etc.
but i was just surprised to see people found it empowering (i.e. the Complex article)
it's all good if they liked making the song, and if people like hearing it, but honestly to me the song sounds coerced... like, do people really think cardi and meg were happy, let alone trying to express a positive message, to have to sing "Beat it up n**** catch a charge" and so on
Even other cardi and meg songs ("big ole freak," "savage," "Press") etc. didn't come across as retrograde and ultimately non-empowering as WAP imo
there's a whole subtext as to why this type of music is often made, that isn't all about empowerment, and is actually kind of sad and dark...
but i'll leave it alone

Loubro its just a song about their wet pussies
unbelievable that meg and cardi are being expected to be some leader in the feminist movement because they wanted to make a song together. any time a (black) female artist does some sort of sexy video they're derided for denigrating the entire s***with the gall to be hot in a video
then the artist is forced to rekindle the circuitous debate over whether shaking your ass is pro-woman when all they wanted to do was make a viral video
same s*** happened with Nicki's Anaconda, same s*** happened with the Super Bowl halftime show, with Beyonce many many times.
women expressing themselves in any way that pisses off men is feminism. this s*** got me tired
I'm not expecting them to make an empowering song, I'm just talking about the commonplace perception that the song IS empowering.
I'm not mad they made it or anything

We not gonna pretend like someone showing their body is some objective form denigration lol
Aug 11, 2020good song but not an empowering one

The song is empowering because women are still criticized heavily for being sexual. It’s basically a “fuck you” to anybody that says they shouldnt rap about their own p****. “Fuck you” songs are always empowering

Aug 11, 2020no it’s not empowering it’s just a catchy song with shock value

But it’s in no way empowering
