But let me tell you how I got this ring

Ask for a car while you ride that dick

He bought a phone just for pictures of this wet-ass pussy

Lyrics is implying that she got good status because she slept her way up. And that she is getting her items by sleeping with people.

Again, how is that empowering?

I thought that "I want a promotion on work, but boss will not let me, so I will have sex with him and get promotion" is a big problem for women, who are not getting their fair pay or promotions until they fullfil sex wishes of men who hold more power. Seems it was not misogyny, it was just women empowering! Looks like women were never oppressed, it all was just empowerment.

whore

And calls herself a whore like it is something good. I guess they are calling it "reclaiming of slur"?

It makes me sad that people think a man buying them things means they're empowered. Buy your own fucking car. Stand on your own two feet and build an independent life where you don't need men's approval to survive. Prostitution is not empowerment.

Not to mention the man Cardi B married is a serial philanderer that coerced her into an "open relationship". She was once arrested for fighting a stripper that he had an affair with.

Very "empowering". Like someone said on this forum - "neo liberal feminism is like american dream, sacrifice everyone and yourself for a chance that you will be one of those millionaries who will be using everyone else as toilet paper".

Pop culture is more and more, fully embracing actual whores. It feels weird to say that, because I so often associate it with people who think all women are inherently sinful, but there's some truth in it.

Most of the women today with the fastest rising incomes are women who are on OnlyFans. I think this is causing a trickle-down effect, where all women and men are beginning to put a price on female sexuality.

There are so many people who frame these women as "smart", "playing men", "getting the bag at all costs", but like, at the end of the day you are getting paid for people to watch you have sex??

You can't untangle the degradation from it and it's sad that these women are the highest earners.
