Both of you are confused. The key word here is reverse, a noun. Reverse does not mean opposite. It means to look in reverse, or to inverse a point of view.
Feminism is about women empowerment, to acknowledge that they are equal to men, especially when it comes to roles in society and a relationship - nothing more and nothing less, despite what some women try to push around as feminism. Like being a "**** because guys can be too without social consequence."
G.U.Y. the song is about two things but lets only talk about the one message she is referring to. Her sexual preference in her relationship, which is to be below the man, in other words, submissive. To be told what to do. This has nothing to do with her being in the kitchen, being told how or when to leave the house, or who she can be friends with. Which is anti-feminism sentiments we see men express in our society today.
Just like that whole thing about reverse warholism, putting the art (art) in the soup can (product).
ARTPOP the album puts (art) in the album (product).
I think people still struggle with this concept, but all the songs in ARTPOP are not where the standard art is. Its the visuals and the marketing of the music, performances, and promotions are where the art is. If we took a song like MJH and made a music video that is EDM-like, party, slow motion movement, that would be the opposite of that concept.
Your welcome,
G.U.Y. making you all think
I applaud you for analysing GUY and what gaga said lol
You better make all these lessors look like fools.
