These Dummies - Re: WAP Song

submitted by Spicylikegumbo from self.PinkPillFeminism

I don't follow entertainment news frequently, but this song W.A.P. by Cardi B came up. I will let you look up what W.A.P. stands for in the song title. I feel like there have been so many songs that denigrate women, but to see women who are major influencers for young girls promote this careless song just makes me give up completely on the hope that women will stop degrading themselves and being pickmes for men. No surprise she is still with a cheating husband, and the other rapper on the song was recently in the news for a man pulling a weapon on her. But here they are still catering to men and their penises.

Both the song and video were disgusting. There’s a way to make a sexy video without turning it into softcore porn. These days every big mainstream female rapper just has vulgar songs about sex, their pussy, and their ass. It’s not art and it’s not “empowering” but actually regressive for women to be presented like this in the media. It’s sad that this is the “entertainment” young girls have today.

I don’t blame only the artists but also the degenerate males from the record companies in the background who are working on pushing this. And yes I know male rappers have made much, much worse songs before which is why I also don’t listen to them and only listen to female artists.

I could care less when women sing about wanting big penis. Men have always been able to degrade women for not having whatever body type they prefer. Men have an insult for every body type. Only thing I like about the song is they are singing about liking big penis and not wanting little one.

Men can take a hike with their complaints. The porn they they watch is much worse. In fact what they are singing about is what they expect women to do which comes straight from porn. Girls is exposed to what they sing about and much worse in porn. Lets be honest. Men did not hid their magazines too well. I'm sure porn on their computer is no different. Girls are already being exposed to degrading harmful stuff because of the boys, teens and men in their family watching porn. Boys are watching this stuff earlier and earlier. A lot of households can't afford separate computers.

I hate this "own your sexuality" in music because its always centered around owning what men want sexually. This song is basically saying do the stuff men watch in porn. They are being called whores by man in their music. Right off man in their music is degrading them sexually.

It is promoting to girls about deep throat, BDSM, rough sex and letting men use you for money sexually. The kind of porn sex they sing about is no joke. Its not something that should be promoted to girls. Even the "clean version" of this song is graphic.

I don't look down on women who do let men use them sexually. Its not glamour at all. The real side to this dynamic would make for a very depressing non sexy video especially with penis being shoved down throat, BDSM and rough sex. This kind of sex can actually kill women. They are normalizing this through music for girls. One of these days videos are going to start to look like hard core porn. I guarantee you that's why they are singing about it now. Its eventually going to lead to it. Men will always surprise you with how low they can go.

I hate the pop music world so much. It's the genre most in everyone's faces and seems to set the "culture" for the U.S. at any one time. It seems now that as a woman you're expected to act like this and dress in skimpy clothing and pretty much be a total degenerate, or you're insulted and treated like a cold prude.

Sometimes I feel like being almost 40 and getting older is a blessing as a woman. I can't imagine being 20 or younger and this is fully what is expected of me.

I thought they were in their 30s. If they are in their 20s, then the streets wore them out for sure. Cardi B has a daughter. I do know that. Can you imagine all the pickme crap she will teach her daughter once she hits puberty? I also don't remember mainstream music being that vulgar in my 20s, and key word here is mainstream. A song like W.A.P. used to be saved for the album but not released as a single.

I love how pressed men are getting over it and their pathetic double standards how men can rap about their tiny dicks in every song but women talk about their own body parts and they thrown tantrums.

This song is not at all my thing, but I’d rather see them in control of their objectifying themselves with than the way male rappers Treat women, this is way better than something like tip drill from Nelly.

Also parents shouldn’t be letting Cardi B influence their children. Yikes

Also cardi is a complete pickme going back to her cheating husband, Meg not much better getting shot for cheating on a complete fool.

These two are a product not sure why everyone is forgetting that
