If she wants to be a wife who waits on her husband and follow his every order, let the girl go ahead and do it. The only thing I dislike about the song is basically that she needs the acceptance of men to see the worth in herself. Then again, that is how I felt listening to a majority of the song on the album.

It's CLEARLY meant to be tongue-in-cheek - it doesn't take an idiot to figure that out.

Despite it being tongue and cheek was the message of the video "female independance". I doubt it. Even with parody, the premise hasn't changed, and she is a part of system indoctrinating impressionable young girls to be submissive or w/e.

i think if meghan chooses to be that kind of wife that's totally her right to do. it's so dumb when people act like it's somehow feminist to persecute women for making their own personal choices. there's nothing wrong with being that kind of wife just like there's nothing wrong with not being that kind of wife.

I don't think femanists have a problem with married women. I think there is a problem when songs and videos upholding antiquated ideas of what a woman should aspire to, are being blasted on the radio, on TV, in magazines etc. It can be indoctrinating. I'm sure that is the concern.

When will other anti-feminists while indoctrinating impressionable young girls to be submissive and upholding antiquated ideas of what a woman should aspire to?

Because the song is tongue and check. You're taking a song thats not meant to be taken serious, seriously. Then again, this is coming from someone who worships Carly who makes music that couldn't be more to the point.

Who said she's trying to make commentary? Why are people turning this into some political statement. She's just saying not every women (including herself) wants to be that traditional woman.



You clearly just don't get it. Who said anything about not being able to do things. The video did go over your head. Its about having the right of not being expected to do things.

I am acutely aware that her songs are not meant to be taken 100% seriously, but her lyrics still have very real implications and perpetuate regressive stereotypes, both about women and how they're to be treated. She is of course free to live her life as an oppressed '60s housewife, but when she makes songs for impressionable children, promoting these ugly standards for them to absorb, it's an issue.

You're the one who seems to be implying it's commentary. You keep saying that everything about this song is supposed to be "sarcastic." If she's truly being satirical with such broad topics, I can only assume she's trying to make some comment about something. Satire has to have some underlying meaning. But there isn't one here.

But omg you'd better drag my favorite! XD

There are feminist-positive ways to be a housewife, like Marina's Electra Heart era comes to mind (there's also a song on Froot that discusses it but I don't recall). What Meghan is doing is not really.

Electra Heart's housewife was a pill-popping soon-too-be-divorced mess...

[qurl]

why is there even such a debate over someone so unremarkable?

jesus I hope she goes away soon, she contributes nothing but dead weight to the pop game right now, and her comments about Anaconda rubbed me the wrong way as if she wrote some pop masterpiece (don't try it, that song is trash)

Women have the right to interpret feminism how they like. If they want to "serve" a man, so be it.

Exactly. On "Can't Pin Me Down," Marina says she doesn't mind cooking in the kitchen, but she's still going to do and be who she wants to be.

That's in a corny nutshell, but you get the point.

Well said

[Afferty]

I agree with them. The songs starts with the lyrics "i'll be the perfect wife" and she portrays it in very tragic way. It's weird to see atrl supports her on this

I couldn’t agree more, and I have no idea why this comment was warned. I wish Olly Murs “Dance with me Tonight” had smashed the US, because if it had, "Dear Future Husband" would have been DOA.

I’ve said it too many times. If you’re an artist doing a parody, but your “satire” is virtually indistinguishable from the “real thing,” then it’s not a satire. That’s why that Lily Allen “Hard Out here” video failed. Lily tried to satirize the objectification of black women in rap videos . . . by objectifying black women in a pop video. Oh, how meta !

[Homebrand]

Lmfaooo is it really that serious ?
