Not to mention that article misinterprets even parts of the song that make it rather clear the woman isn't an unwilling participant. Like:

The way you grab me.
Must wanna get nasty.
This is victim-blaming. Everybody knows that if a woman dances with a man it means she wants to sleep with him, right? And if she wears a short skirt or tight dress she’s asking for it, right? And if she even smiles at him it means she wants it, right? Wrong. A dance, an outfit, a smile — sexy or not — does not indicate consent. This idea, though, is pervasive and believed by rapists.

I always assumed he meant being grabbed in a sexual manner, which isn't in the least bit ambiguous, no? How does that promote rape? The song objectifies women, no doubt about it, but I've never been able to see how it specifically condones rape.
