No, it was about you using your assets to get a hit.

You have to look at the song as a whole, which from a lyrical standpoint, is anything but about women taking their power back.

and how do you figure that?

[RihannasVeryOwn]

All you people trying to fit women into what YOUR ideas of feminism are, and dragging those who don't fit your ideals all without knowing a single thing about feminism

and if a woman decided to follow her man's every decision would that be feminist because she decided to give her power away instead of having it taken from her

yes because that's her right.

Fine then be a **** star for all I care. If that's what you want women to be.

She's not saying all women have to be that. She's saying women should do whatever the **** they want. It's the core idea of feminism. Equality.

[moijejoue]

I don't understand how flashing your body parts is considered empowering. She's clearly using her body to attract men and get more video views and $$$. If you have rely on something as primal as sex instead of intelligence to get ahead in life, I find that to be very regressive instead of progressive,

She does not have to objectify men in order to be a feminist



She can be sexual and still be in control
That's what Anaconda is about

The notion that she can't be taken seriously as a feminist if she's sexual is sexist in and of itself
Feminism is about a woman's right to choose

She's IN CONTROL of her own body and her sexuality
a man isn't forcing her to do any of these acts
She is CHOOSING to do this
It's what SHE wants

Hmm..we'll have to agree to disagree but for me Janet Jackson and Madonna did an excellent job in certain videos of owning their sexuality and being in control that would give me feminist vibes.

And I'm here for that.
I guess my point is that any woman doing that would be feminist.
she is choosing to do these acts makes it feminism...according to you.
I wouldn't say that her being sexual was a reason why I don't think anaconda is a feminist video. I'm just going based on the scenes.
I just don't see making any decision or choosing to do something equalling feminism.
More males are known to do criminal activity. When a woman does it and takes ownership does that make her a feminist...I mean c'mon really

NEw wave of Feminist in these girls...i'm loving it so much

It's not like anyone stopped modern women from making choices in the first place.

[RainDreamer]

Eh am starting to see the cracks in Nicki's career and how gimmicky she is

First the whole VMA thing with having an anaconda just to get a Britney esque moment (which you're probably going argue was because thats what the song is called but i think anyone looking on it without bias will agree theres no doubt she wanted to create that moment/controversy) and now this thing of playing into the whole feminist thing just to look trendy

I mean am sure she wants to be taken seriously but just don't lie to get that, it just comes off as being fake.

[Triton]

Yes because having a man drug you up is very empowering....

[Jaymz]

If you say so Nicki

If she chose to do so then yes.
Feminism is supporting women's rights in doing whatever they want, whether that be a university professor or a housewife. Choice is key.

So pretty much all women in the industry are feminists.
Some choose to be in control
Some choose to give up control
Some choose to be explicit
Some choose to be private.

Of course but than so are many things that occur.
A woman chooses to work for a living instead of staying home becomes feminism...or she just needs to survive.

I kind of see what you are saying. I think she has used intelligence...just not in this instance...she used more cleverness than intelligence...

But from birth, all over the world, women are told they can't make choices for themselves.
They are put in a box, demeaned, degraded and bullied by society.

But the men still looked at it and objectified her just read the comments on the video. How about making women feel powerful without having to reside on looks using their talent ambition and intellect. How is this video helping anyone but men get an erection.

Your comments are mine <3

[Lyrical.]

I understand what she means but not everybody is going to see it like that.

This is my take. I love women I'm pretty much a women myself I read vogue and I watch the view. I also help my mom shop for bras. But this is too much for me.
