The way he dragged her, shaded her, appreciated her, supported her and exposed her all at the same time without being offensive in the slightest is equal parts hilarious and impressive to me lol
Well, to be honest that’s the way it’s supposed to be. I’m not a fan of cancelling people completely for stupidity, nobody is born perfect and we all act stupid sometimes, but calling people out on their mistakes while also recognizing they still have good qualities is both an act of justice and empathy because you’re pointing out their mistakes while also giving them the chance to rethink what they said and redeem themselves. I hope Lana gets the message instead of acting all defensive.
@@silverco2560 exactly. Wish more people could understand that. Everytime someone gets cancelled people start acting all high and mighty as if they never made a mistake.
"If a woman says no and a man hears yes, that's not a type of woman, that's a type of man..." Thank you. We need more people to think like this. Then maybe there wouldn't be so much victim blaming.
Honestly, if he lived in my area, was my age, and is this thought out about everything, I’d pull a Utah and be married to him in a month. He’s very responsible, compassionate, and kind.
Maybe being intentionally obtuse/goal post shifting by bringing your "words say no but voice says yes" concept is actually just having a screwy sense of flirtation yourselves? I never once had a moment where I acted on something that the woman did not word-for-word verbally commit to and things worked just fine! It's necessary or important to you do play these games, such that you'd defend it online? hmm
@wings of a butterfly No means no. If you had no interest with someone but they kept pushing themselves onto you, thats harrassment. It's people like you who pressure people into having sex/relationships with you with your constant begging, bitching and moaning.
@wings of a butterfly LDR can hardly be considered "original" for discussing the 'no means yes' trope. The writer Colette immediately comes to mind. Her short stories look at different sides of that trope: its destructiveness, its nuance, possibly pleasures, and the consequences. That this young man can intelligently discuss different templates placed onto members of society and reflect back the idea that most often the man is placing his designs on the woman is at least worthy of discussion. Certainly the idea that LDR might be a bird in a cage she doesn't know exists would be next level as well. Or she might simply be flirtatious as you say...or even the mistress devising all this, a puppet master. That's still not terribly original, but perhaps interesting. Madonna thought it was fun 20+ years ago. However, to dismiss the reality that so many women deal with unwanted attention under the guise of "no means yes" as the crabbing of sjw's is far too pat. You seem far too intelligent to miss that.
“The kind of woman who says no but men hear yes...” “That’s not a kind of woman, that’s a kind of MAN.” I can not tell you how much hope I have for the future hearing a young man say that. ❤️
It’s talking about her self esteem and her not saying how she truly feels. She lets men use her and she doesn care. There’s a lot of depth to her statement actually. But looking at it on the surface is interesting also
thats what they say but thats not what they actually stand for, they dont want equal rights at all, they want to be the dominant sex, but they are deluded and ruin tv shows and movies, star wars was ruined because they let feminazis in
“That’s not a kind of woman, that’s a kind of man “. This right here is the kind of reasoning that makes me so glad for your content. You literally rock
Yeah, the moment she said there should be a place in feminism for women who "say no but mean yes" I was like "oh, so you mean feminism should accommodate women too insecure in their sexuality, agency and desires to state what they want by reinforcing the dangerous and harmful belief that even when women explicitly state someone's sexual advances aren't welcome they secretly are, so no harm done?" She's got some audacity dubbing herself a "strong woman" and that "she paved the way" when she can't even admit what she wants to her partner lol. Saying that feminism should support this line of thinking really just outs her as someone whose comments on feminism and women's issues shouldn't be taken seriously as she's clearly talking from a place of ignorance. How out-of-touch does she have to be to not realize that the kind of "woman" she's describing is opposed to feminism's ideas of valuing women's words and reclaiming female sexuality? Her brand of "womanhood"- and by that I mean solely her "say no but mean yes" part of it, not traditional femininity nor submissive role- never was and never will be morally okay. Her thinking that "a new/3rd wave of feminism will come" (ayyyy lmao, I'm second-hand embarrassed on her behalf at this point) in which this is acceptable, is just another indication of her talking out of her ass while trying to look informed. This was likely just a publicity stand so I don't wanna waste too much time talking about it. I just think it's genuinely hilarious that she gets butthurt over people telling her that she's regressive then wonders what's wrong with feminism for not endorsing her "I say no but I mean yes" bs that is frequently used as an excuse for sexual assault and rape. It's a statement that's lacking self-awareness so much that it's brilliant. Oh and D'Angelo's a doll for voicing that, and voicing it so briefly yet accurately.
also as someone whos been studying feminist movements for years i hate how shes acting like no feminist has ever advocated for more traditionally feminine women to be treated with respect and dignity when feminists HAVE advocated for these women. she doesnt understand that feminism isnt about rejecting traditional femininity, but about rejecting the idea that femininity is inferior to masculinity and giving agency for women (and everyone) to choose how they want to perform their gender identity without being ostracized. she doesnt understand feminism at all which is even more infuriating.
i don’t think she’s talking about what feminism as an idea may stand for but how many feminists perceive women like her just take a quick scroll through this comment section and you’ll see many people invalidating her personality and demeanor as the result of the patriarchy and self deprecating
@@bluewescott4631 whether or not shes talking about how people who claim to be feminists perceive her, or feminism, she's still very ill-informed because if she took the time to sat down and talk to people who do actual feminist work, she would know that feminism does advocate for her as well, and that feminists aren't criticizing her for her traditional femininity, but rather the way she talks of other women and feminism as well. also idk i dont see many comments like those. the ones that i do see criticize her for her "not like other girls" behavior, which again isnt a criticism of her personality, buy rather how she thinks her personality is somehow above others.
@@pterocardio i think that even if that’s the intent of the movement the amount of supporters who do not recognize and support that intent is great enough to where it has been erased in every impactful way and even though true feminists accept all women, the bulk of the movement, which is like all movements made up of people who don’t think for themselves (not that feminism is wrong, just that people repeat opinions and don’t form them), makes it so that the impact of the movement and it’s rhetoric does not accept traditional femininity
@@bluewescott4631 while i agree that there will always be people who dont understand what feminism stands for who skew the principles of the movement, i do not believe that is the majority. my issue with lana del rey's perspective of feminism and feminists is even early on she has excluded herself from the conversation, claiming that she'd much rather study the universe than feminism when she was asked about it. she has the privilege to exclude herself from feminist conversations and now she is claiming that women like her have no space in the feminist movement. she's very privileged and yet she posits herself as lacking in it simply because she is traditionally feminine, and that's really the crux of the criticism of many feminists towards her. and every time she gets criticized for it, she considers it as an attack towards her femininity.
I was living under a rock for a full week where I did nothing but binge watch shows and the second I come back it's days into america rioting, lana and doja clowning around, anonymous exposing celebrities. I'm so scared and confused but at least I have this video now ig?
Lucy Autumncamp So far, they’ve exposed Trump for pedophilia, revealed the emails of the cops in Minnesota, and hacked the radio to play F*ck the Police
she posted this at like 4 in the morning so its like a midnight tangent. so im positive that she posted this from her phone and went to bed immediately aftet
when lana said the third wave feminist movement was coming, that's when I knew she was stuck living in the 1960s ... we are IN the fourth wave right now 🤦♀️
Seeing at the point of feminism is that women are all judged, put against each other, taught to hate ourselves and our bodies etc, it shocks me that people get mad when a woman expresses she feels misunderstood. The whole “I’m not like other girls” thing makes no sense me personally, because while I can’t relate, I understand that some women/people feel genuinely different and outcasted by society. But once they actually embrace that difference and label themselves as “weird”, people genuinely ATTACK them for saying it. They often aren’t trying to say that they’re above other women. It’s just that people made THEM feel that they were different and isolated. I don’t get it...
I'm getting real elitist vibes from her. The way she talks about herself and her views, it has a cringey superiority complex air to it. Ironic givin her past, you'd think she'd be more understanding.
@@cheyennegottler974 just because her family was wealthy doesn’t mean she didn’t have it financially bad. If her family helped her while she was a teen she wouldn’t have lived in a trailer that she paid for by herself.
D’Angelo is really the king of “Treat Yo Self” no matter how much UA-cam hates long breaks. I’m glad! I’m glad. I’d rather have him take care of himself at the expense of his upload schedule instead of Vice Versa
Gabe she's struggled a lot in her life :( i went to one of her concerts and she got really emotional and talked about some of the things she's been through. i don't agree with some of the things she said but i really feel for her as a person.
The stupidest part of her statement is that she was acting like women who sing about sex and stuff don't get critisiced? They 100% do. And submissive, feminine women have always been the societal norm and more accepted. So it just doesn't make any sense. All female creators are going to get critisiced just because they take up space and are women.
And the fact that she is whining about being criticized about singing about her experiences when many of those artists she's listed sing about their experiences. I'm sorry Lana that sad girl vibes are your life but just like how your experiences are valid so are those of strippers, so are those of druggies, so are those of toxic relationships that thrive on sex. Don't invalidate another women's experience of being in the streets and stripping for money when that's what their story is and say that oh they're super popular for talking about sex when I'm trying to talk about real shit. It's very hypocritical to say the least.
yh I was thinking the same thing there is literally no artist that hasnt been criticised. People have been bashing Jennifer Lopez and Shakira for their "sexual" performance last year and literally turned off the TV. Female artists singing about sex are somehow still seen as controversial and boundary crossing, which in itself is pretty sad to me, considering how many male artists have been able to sing about getting laid for decades by now. How often any artist is slut shamed no matter what outfit they were. Megan and Nicki have been slammed so often as if their music will turn girls into sex demons or sth. But sure, Lana is the only one who has ever been criticised of anything.
Exactly!! She’s finding the correlation between the things they talk about but honestly the reason they’re mainstream and she isn’t is simply because Lana’s music is not pop, super catchy, high tempo, etc
It's not about genre, it was about the topics that are acceptable to sing about as a women. The things she sings about are empowering her, same way that all the singers she mentioned have their "empowering" style.
interesting how she didn’t mention billie eilish who makes similar music to her - who she actually lost a grammy to and has surpassed her in popularity despite being in the industry for 10 minutes.
It's true, but I think he didn't think Shallon was going to get canceled because he honestly thought no one cared. Shallon has been on youtube for an awful long time and only had a few hundred thousand subscribers. The thing is, I think Shallon's reach over the years has been bigger than it looks on the outside. She's so harsh that I think a lot of people quickly subscribed and unsubscribed from her because she's actually the worst. If she weren't such a terrible person, I think with how well spoken she is and how hyped she gets people she would probably have at least a couple million behind her. So when he made that video, all of the hundreds of thousands of people that have watched her before were like, "Called it...I knew something was wrong with her."
We shouldn't applaud men for thinking of us as people and not objects. Yes, it's good he thinks like this, but it should not be this big of a deal to be a decent person
I was willing to consider forgiving her until she came, yet again, for another black woman FKA. On top of that FKA is a renaissance artist. She puts just as much time into her shit as Lana and is just as much of an "outsider". Once can be a mistake but twice? and doubling down? Pshawww
@@millymartin7191 FKA's pole work literally makes me cry it's so moving! Lana's 5 seconds on the pole for one music video invoked 0 emotion in me lmao. she needs to leave other women's names out of her mouth and hop off her high horse. but she won't 🙄
She talks about the other artists like they don’t deal with criticism. They made songs about controversial topics and became popular, yes, but you did too Lana.
You can’t cancel anyone and I believe Deangelo knows that. She’s still making videos, she’s still getting support today, right now. She’s not canceled.
DylanTanner but she HAS almost subscribers and lost support and respect from others. that was kinda the goal, to make an exposé about her shitty lifestyle choices.
DylanTanner well onision was ***technically*** cancelled. He used to be one of youtubes biggest names now no one knows him unless they were alive before he was pushed into obscurity.
@@SameerHameedy Onision managed to stay on You Tube waaaaaaay longer than most YTers who are never "cancelled". It took years and years to get Onision and he is actually on only fans now apparently. None of these people actually get cancelled.
@@Css636 it is not antifeminist, it is acknowledging the way feminism has often excluded women of color such that an entirely separate movement for gender equality was created to be intersectional and inclusive (womanism). feminism has always had space for white women, and lana is deluding herself into believing otherwise.
@@softjams4951 umm if you look into actual feminism it has included women of color and trans women but the reason we have BLM and movements like that because racism includes black men and feminism is to fight against injustices towards women and no matter what the journey of a trans women and biological women are gonna be different and they are most definitely included in LGBTQ movement with others who have shared similar journeys but I get your point for sure 😊totally off topic but Latinos we need a movement cuz be be excluded outta everything when we get racism as well Yeah that’s just my take on it ✨💕 #BLM #FEMINISM #LATINOPRIDE
@@Kk-lq9yl feminism itself can include trans women and woc but, it's history has constantly been excluding them. For example, Susan b Anthony who is considered one of the main runners in first wave feminism didn't really care if woc received the right to vote.
As someone whos first language isn't English I thought I was having a stroke reading her declarations. At least now I know it was a crazy confusing statement from the start lmao
"'the kind of woman who says no and men hear yes', that's not a kind of woman, that's a kind of man" that is when i smashed that subscribe button, hard.
also lana, a white woman, saying that "delicate" women like her are criticized more and directly contrasting herself to a list of majority black women, who are seen as indelicate/more mature/sexually mature at a much younger age is kind of??????????
Why is everything about race nowadays. I swear americans are obsessed with it. Her criticism was about their lyrics, their skin color had nothing to do with it.
@@teencrisis4750 Did you unironically say that race is not talked about enough? Look I don't think it's bad to talk about race, in fact I think it is necessary, but her comments had nothing to do with it. She did not mention these artists for their skin color but for the content of their lyrics.
I completely understand her point on delicate feminine women who are completely shunned by the feminist community but by comparing them to black strong female artist was definitely NOT the way to go. There are women out there who are very submissive and soft spoken and modest yet are told by feminists that they are bad and shouldn't be that way.
@@almamater489 yes but like she's talking about it as if feminine and delicate women are oppressed by society any more than any other type of women which like...nah lol
As a white woman, it genuinely made me uncomfortable to hear her say "feminism needs a space for women like me". Her comments come from such a childish woe is me place and not as a comment about it. These 7 women she's mentioned have empowered women so much.
Her comment isnt about race though, take off the identity politics goggles that you Americans love to wear 24/7. She is talking about women who are traditionally 'feminine, girly, soft, etc. Ignoring ethnicity completely, her vibe is so different from someone like Cardi B or even Beyonce. And I'm not talking about skin colour. Presentation and aesthetic matters to our perception of people. We're obviously going to perceive Lana in a different way to Cardi B given that the latter is overtly sexual in her image and lyrics and shaking her ass, sticking tongue out and so on. Obviously Lana knows she is a pretty girl, but she doesnt use her sexually in an aggressive manner like a lot of POC women artists do. More softer less assertive women like her tend to get a bit undermined by the industry and by feminists. That is what she is referring to. And I mean, define empowering? Its not a one size fits all thing. Is WAP empowering? Not to a lot of women it's not! Alot of people find it gross, quite frankly.
@@harrypike5140 if it's not about race then why did you mention POC creators specifically? This is exactly the point. You can comment on every person on here complaining but I'm assuming that you aren't a woman and can't actually understand what makes a woman feel empowered. Women can be empowered by anything and you're a moron if you're gonna sit here and say that they can't. And also someone like Lizzo is definitely a person who empowers women. Beyonce also. this isn't identity politics it's a statement of her blatantly using POC women to push an agenda that there's not more "soft" women. It's offensive and hurtful to those women and to all the women in the space. Also fuck off bringing up WAP. It's the first thing men go to to say women are "whores" and it's not empowering. Maybe, just maybe, women appreciate songs about their sexual experience that isn't just from the male perspective.
@@harrypike5140 traditional ideas of femininity in America are very tied to whiteness. Black women have historically been perceived as aggressive, overtly sexual, and even incapable of feeling real pain. Lana's image relies in part on her race, and that's not her fault, but the way that she's acting in this situation does have unfortunate parallels to white women using victimhood as a weapon.
@@rampagingrexy7202 go off, coomer. WAP, Lizzo and Cardi B are all gross. If you genuinely feel empowered by a song about wet vaginas then you need to look in the mirror tbh. It's not about gender. It's equally as cringe if a man was saying that a song with lyrics about hard penises is empowering to men. It's not. It's crude and immature. You can express your sexuality without nonsense like that. Better yet, be Sexual in your private life and not in everyone's faces.. Me not being a woman makes no difference to my ability to determine what's objectively a good female role model or not. The same as you would be able to tell men that some of their role models are not good.
I think also ”fragility” is her way of saying that she often identifies strongly with literary children. “ Were gonna party like it’s 1949. Were in the Chevrolet from July to July, gonna see it all before he says goodbye. Every man deserves to see the sunrise.” Essentially I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with her being called out for anti-feminist rhetoric, because she shows support for statutory rape in four songs: mildly in off to the races, with the Humbert line “ light of my life fire of my loins,” and more aggressively in 1949, Lollita, and the song I quoted before Every Man Gets His Wish.
I'm a fan of Lana and I'm still soaking in all this tea.. my mind is teetering on the notion of separating the art from the artist or outright cancel. Either way I can never hear her music again without this hiccups ringing in the background
I think she perceives herself as a deep, thoughtful, melancholy artist in a sea of vapid, hyper-sexual, obnoxious, fake-confident pop divas, and that feminism is just Lizzo shaking her ass and Ariana singing about her exes. I think her shallow understanding of feminism, and maybe her reluctance to confront the actual tenets or history of feminism, turns her away from it and makes her uncomfortable when people want to hold her to the standards she hasn't bothered to/wanted to ingest and learn. I think she'd rather not think too hard about it, and when she does try to make a point regarding feminism, she ends up retreading ground that feminists have actually already covered. She'd know that if she cared to educate herself.
Summary: she thinks she’s better than every else because she’s “not like other pop stars (girls)” and no one can tell her anything because ignorance is bliss and she thinks she’s better than everyone else.
because nobody wants to hear your sad music lanie, if you want a number 1, make music that sounds like something that is more celebrated by the GP 😭 get more popular, and then maybe collab with one of those girls you called out, if theyd still give you a chance. Thats the answer, period.
I'm so confused by what she means when she says "fragile" and "delicate". Does it imply that soft-spoken women are emotionally deeper than other women? How do you classify yourself as fragile? Does it imply past trauma? How can you assume you are more "fragile" than other people?
Yeah I also wish she elaborated what on earth that means. She keeps using those two words but doesn’t go on to say what that means. Like what is she even TRYING to say....
Anonim Anonim But most women aren’t like that 100% of the time. Beyonce gave us “Love Drought” and “Best Thing I Never Had” and “Irreplaceable” and “Ring the Alarm” Most women aren’t 1D fragile and delicate or strong and independent. There are layers that LDR didn’t acknowledge.
Agustín Baletti Where have you been? The most mainstream form of feminism is lead by white cis women. For example black women made their own branch called Womanism because white feminists often neglect how pale skin colour and European features give them an edge even if overall women are treated badly.
I don't know about you but there is an entire branch of feminism that views women as a collective and therefore any decision a woman makes puts women down as a class. So to these people a woman singing about a traditionally feminine role is putting other women down. This is what happens when people don't think their ideologies through. Liberal feminism is more about individual choice, yes, but second wave and radical feminism is about women as a collective. That's why nobody bat an eye when Lorde said that Lana's music is unhealthy for young women or every music critic I watched said that she's a bad "representation" for women. Don't be so superficial when she said "look" like me the last thing that came to mind was her physical appearance. Stay at home moms often express that they are being judged really harshly mostly by other women.
I really don't appreciate her stereotyping of what a feminist is. Don't worry Lana, most of what you said in this statement makes it clear you aren't a feminist even if you say your "not not a feminist".
she really called herself "the type of woman who says no and men hear yes" as if only 'delicate' women get assaulted... that phrasing in general is so gross too like men aren't confused or misunderstanding, they hear no just fine and purposefully choose to ignore it
@@parkchimmin7913 no kidding. Also consider that, it doesn't take you being "delicate" or "glamorous" to have certain men try to take advantage of you. Every implication in her statement is abhorrent.
This is why feminism gets a bad rep: because Lana did one of the very things that feminism has been accused of promoting but actually doesn’t; Lana brought herself up by bringing down 7 other artists who had nothing to do with what she was trying to say. She did have some good points, but it’s hard to get around the fact that she threw a handful of people under the bus. She’s super talented; why does she need to start controversy like this?
This'll probably get lost in the comment section here, but man, you're helping me overcome my eating disorder...how you might ask?

@@fatimattaiwo3940 Hunty, she dealt with a lot of things compared to Ariana and Camila. She had no shortcuts. Inform yourself.

Also, she's there waiting for the third wave of feminism? Any day now.....any day, it'll be here Someone get Lana on the phone, I have some exciting news
As a Black woman who is also femme, I definitely think she has a good point about how femininity and softness need to be welcomed in the feminist movement. However, my problem lies in the fact that 1) she ignores the fact that femininity is already accepted in the feminist movement and that a large thing a lot of feminists are fighting for is the fact that femininity doesn't equal weakness*, and 2) she juxtaposes herself with mostly Black and Latina women(with the only white woman she mentioned, Ariana Grande, being a woman she clearly believes is a woman of color considering how she says she didn't include a 100% Caucasian woman in the mix), and describes them as overly sexual and "stronger" than her and taking away her voice, while casting herself as the more beautiful, sensitive, softer woman. In doing so, she reinforces the racial stereotypes of white women being delicate, feminine, and graceful, while Black and/or Latina women are all overly sexual, aggressive, masculine, and loud. She also uses her white woman tears to victimize herself in comparison to these women, and pretend that they, who have done and said nothing to diminish or demean her, are brutally silencing her voice and shoving her out of the feminist movement(while also somehow managing to compare them to men who hate women). Once again, casting herself as a meek and delicate lady in contrast to the aggressive, angry, strong Black woman. She places herself on a pedestal above them by describing herself as glamorous and feeling "embodied", implying that those women are not glamorous and don't sing songs about genuine love or heartbreak, or anything other than stripping, cheating, and sexual pleasure. Even though women like Beyonce and FKA Twigs exude femininity, grace, and elegance, she refuses to see them that way because of their Blackness. Her post could have been fine if she had merely spoken about her OWN issues instead of bringing down women she claims to be fans of. If she is actually their fans, then why didn't she hype them up??? If her problem is that women don't get to have a voice, why didn't she use them as examples of talented and successful women whose voices, like hers, also get erased and put down by the media(although ofc worse bc they're women of color, except for Ariana Grande). Why make it an us vs them where it's "those vicious ghetto Black Jezebels get to twerk and shake up their bodies and everybody applauds them, but when a sweet innocent white woman like me wants to make REAL music about love and tenderness I get attacked!!! Not fair!!!!!!" She's basically saying that Black women can't be as softspoken, feminine, or gentle as her, and are all slutty, promiscuous, rough, and masculine. THAT'S the issue(and also the creepy rape culture shit as you said). And that's why I don't like her. *I must also mention that Black women especially are the ones fighting for the right to be dainty, innocent, and soft because of how often it has been stripped from us through masculinizing and fetishizing stereotypes of the "strong Black woman" or the Sapphire, or the Jezebel. Which are all tropes that Lana del Rey is pushing and reinforcing in her comment, and which makes her dismissal to the criticisms all the more harmful. She needs to read a Racism 101 book before she opens her social media browser ever again, mmkay?
She seems like one of those people who try making their situation seem worse. “Oh, you’re tired because you slept 5 hours? Well... I slept 3 hours” “you don’t like your cousins? Mine tried killing me in my sleep”
@Milo S Thank you for clarifying that! I was kind of seeing it from the angle of gatekeeping because my thought process was "they're attempting to gatekeep the ability to complain because they have had it worse". I do agree that one-upmanship is a bit more spot on in that regard. Thank you for introducing that term to me (':

As a Lana fan. I just " LOVE “ how she made a video clip and song with Ariana and then she bashed her for having sexual songs. That’s great. Such a mature person. 😑
Lana also used to have sexual songs, she wasn’t bashing them. She was questioning why they were allowed to continue what they were doing without being slammed by critics.
When you're a wealthy, musically talented, privileged artist sitting on near legendary status, but you're just itching to get cancelled across all social media in the light of a world wide meltdown in 2020: Lana Del Rey:
she seems a little bit like the type of outdated white feminist that wants to profite from feminism and feels like shes treated unfairly when she isnt. i get being bashed for your sexualitiy or your lyrics is horrible and definitely sexist and i wholeheartedly agree. but she acts like shes the only one or that she has it the worst, when in fact it isnt a competition in the first place (and it isnt - there may be different levels to discrimination, I mean a black woman would definitely have more disadvantages in life than her as a white woman). just, comparing the hatred/pain/criticism you faced because of your gender to other women, wording it that way? problematic af. not to mention that she kinda proved that she doesnt know much about feminism apart from the ways it would directly effect her anyways.
this is very well-worded comment! i couldn’t have said it better myself. i don’t think a lot of white women realize that whenever they are speaking about issues of inequality or sexism, or whatever it is- THEY ARE WHITE BEFORE THEY ARE ANYTHING ELSE. you are a WHITE woman fighting for feminism, you are a WHITE woman talking about your sexuality. it’s different. when lana sings a song most people can understand how it feels like to be in that position but it’s not the same for artists like mitski and sza. there is only so much a white person can empathize with songs from mitski and sza, because although they are talking about not feeling good enough to men, feeling like their efforts are unappreciated to society, they feel that way as women of color- something white women will never understand.
Raise your hand if you're the crazy neolib in the room? Of course we have to bring race into it, even though it literally has nothing at all to do with race...a north korean woman in north korea has it way worse than a black woman in the United States, in general, but seriously...what is your fucking point? The mental gymnastics you people go through to link everything to race, imaginary privilege and quite literally made up intersectionality must be exhausting...unless you're just one of the dumb ass "woke" playing follow the leader who doesn't even understand what your own terminology actually means, which is about 98% of you. Lana is popular with women everywhere because there's a very primitive undertone of the relations between men and women that most artists are unable to articulate. Since she lays it out on the table without man bashing, it's just not feminist enough for you. For a culture of inclusion, and by that I mean your liberalism AND feminism...you people sure are quick to point out when someone is too white or not quite feminist (or should I say angry) enough for your liking. You neolibs are the most close-minded, exclusionary group of jerk offs that have ever existed. You spend an awful lot of time congratulating yourselves for being "woke" while being so ridiculous that it's impossible to imagine any real change could come of any of it. You guys have done so much damage by preaching to extremes and socially castrating anyone who doesn't live up to you that YOU have driven real progress back 50 years. Normal people have no choice but to dig in and resist because you don't want meaningful change, you want your BS dogma. People like you are the reason I now lean conservative after 22 years of voting blue. Congrats on destroying yourselves from within.
@@leannemalone7496 thankyou for saying this .... As for this chick, it would do her good to know that the woman she thinks is outdated, the woman who profits off feminism is very much alive these days in the form of many celebrities. These celebrities have all good and calculated things to say so maybe that's what these people want. Take the example of Taylor swift. God third wave feminism was a mistake.
@@vasudhabhandari8431 I'm honestly so sick of all this identity politics and sjw bs...if everyone doesn't fit into a neat little box, these people lose there fucking minds.
"The kind of woman that says no but men say yes" is EVERY woman. I dont know why lana believes that "strong feminist women" are immune from rape and sexism because they absolutely are not.
If anything, the reason why they are “strong feminist women” is BECAUSE of sexism and rape, let alone “strong feminist” WOC. Like, Lana.....you have to do better hun...
Black Knight Fool Broski sorry to break to ya but I'm straight and not feminist and is still realizing she was wrong for what she said some people have leadership qualities and some people don't those people who have leadership qualities tend to get farther in life so I don't understand why she is whining because she isn't getting "success" what she is saying doesn't make sense because because she has plenty of fame and money, and doesn't need to be at the top to be successful
She lacks the rangeeee. Shes washed up, old news. She cant stand that everyone moved on from their 2014 tumblr phase. Everyone except her- shes too old for this mess
I didn’t get why she also had to drag anyone, if she wanted to complain she wasn’t getting plays she should have just said so instead of making it political. Like bitch bye 🥴
Lana Fans when they still can't accept that Lana is problematic and keeps on finding loopholes and excuses for her tone deaf behavior because she's just the 'aesthetic' quirky it girl that can't do no wrong and then easily gets offended by someone's own opinion: 😱🤨🤬😤
This is gonna sound so ironic. I or we I guess, never said she wasnt problematic. Every celeb has done some f8cked up shit, and no one is ever right. Im just saying, i genuinely dont think shes a bad person. I met her, shes kind, shes nice and yes she has a horrible way of expressing her opinions but that doesnt mean shes not entitled to her own opinion. Being aesthetic and "quirky" like that is her image, so it makes sense she would try to maintain that, dont you agree?
Why does she feel the need to put “strong” woman as something that she isn’t? Being very feminine, and delicate or wanting to stay at home does not mean you are weak. If you consider yourself weaker than others bc of that, then that’s putting women down again, except in this case you’re putting women like yourself down. And honestly what she’s doing of putting down other types of women to put women like herself up...that’s not feminism, it’s toxic femininity, which is to put down other women because of inner misogyny. (I’ve said the words “women” and “putting down” WAY too many times lol)
As long as you are yourself what is the difference? Differentiating between types of females is the same as differentiating between males. We are all humans and we all can and should be who we feel we are at our core.
Whether it was her intention or not: The fact that she describes black artists as perceived stronger, louder and more overpowering than her- who she describes as delicate and fragile is exactly the problematic stereotyping of black women as being less feminine and less deserving of gentleness. And it shows how much this idea is engrained in our minds as a culture
fucking EXACTLY ! she wants to pretend like it's a coincidence/outright ignore the fact that she threw a group of (mainly) black women under the bus by portraying them as aggressive, loud, uneducated, & unenlightened in order to make her, a white woman, look better, smarter, and more "in touch" with her emotions. & the fact that she sees accusations of racism as some kind of silly drama to scoff and roll your eyes at just proves how little she actually cares about racism as well.
How? Nobody mentioned race. People mentioning race when it’s not being talked about, is irrelevant to the topic, is ridiculous and trying to victimise people for literally no reason. You bringing race into this is racist.
"the issue was with female critics and female alternative artists *who are dissociated from their own fragility and sexuality* and berate *more sexually liberated* artists like myself".... wot. I still like her music but the lady is kinda delusional
Lana del rey: brings other female artists dowb because they sing about sex and other more sexually explicit content Also Lana del rey: it's not my fault these women aren't as sexually free as I am! Pick one sis
I mean Lana has made a career out of being "damaged", having issues with mental health, loving toxic relationships, and packaging herself in a very traditional vintage yet depressed bow. Did everyone really expect her to have healthy well thought out views on the world? I know her songs are relatable in moments of your life, but artists LIVE the music they sing and the worlds it creates. If it's all sad and about toxic relationships and fucked up views on life, they probably won't be the most well adjusted person.
I'm not even sure what a well-adjusted person is supposed to mean. To me, that's like kinda saying a person who's "normal" when what normal is could depend on who you ask. I'm sure there a plenty of people who would say she's "well adjusted". Not saying she is or isn't but that it's kinda subjective and based on personal perspectives.
@Carin Monier she did live like that for at least a year in her life(yea, i know, i wasn't there to see it, but look up her trailer park interview). i don't know why you imply the her father's money means she had it easy. she was born a billionare, but worked as a waitress.
Lmao I just can’t fall for her “you’re misinterpreting me” bullshit. She’s making a whole album, coming out with books and literally claiming she’s the best at what she does. If that’s the case, Miss Lana, you should be able to appropriately convey a normal statement to the public. And I’m an actual fan of hers, I loved Lana’s aesthetic and “sad girl” vibes. I related to her until she made it clear she lives in her own world and has no idea what accountability means.
"I'm a writer first" she says but this woman can't convey a single thought without it ending up convoluted and borderline offensive. it's getting harder and harder to defend any of her actions anymore. and I was / am a fan too, I'm just too ashamed to admit it anymore. most of her stans make me embarrassed to support her behavior, no matter how much I may enjoy her art. blind support isn't healthy, being held accountable is. and like you said she lives in her own world and clearly doesn't want to take responsibility for anything she says or does. she'll still make millions at the end of the day regardless. 🙄
Oh, well, i tend to wonder if the artists we admire, especially the more delicate/sensitive, are able to create what they do because they are in their world 🤔 perhaps, maybe elements. Idk, maybe one has nothing to do with the other, but i know pieces ive created that i respect mightve been created do to that just ponderin
@@raquelvalladolid532 shes a song artist, a poet not an investigative journalist or PR manager. What is with the younger generation and the internet, expectations blown completely out
For YEARS feminism had no place for the artists she mentioned in the beginning of her statement. Feminism was originally created for white women's liberation. So much so that black women felt uncomfortable and unwelcome within the movement. They created their own sect of feminism and called it "womanism." It kind of infuriates me that this woman would position herself as the victim when black women have had to work so hard to even be seen within this movement.
The “strong women” that she talks about are mainly advocating for women and girls to stand up for themselves and feel empowered, NOT for them to become less vulnerable and emotional.
I feel like she's trying so hard to talk about and simplify the harsh and radical side of feminism. The side that will change every cute feminine character into a short haired punk. I'm not a feminist but I don't see how feminists are bringing ppl like her down. Alot of feminists have a straight mind and alot of them support all types of women.
@@RuminatingRaptor there are many different types of feminists, the radical side is one of them and it really scares me sometimes, especially in my country xd they think that if you are feminine, you are serving patriarchy and things like that, really profound if you think. I think the same thing that this guy, but compare incels with Lana del Rey is a reeeeeally deep shit
If nothing else, she's incredibly self-centered. People were attempting to point out her ignorance about how she came across and she replied with a bunch of "I's and "me"s.
I agree, I think she is ignorant & willfully so. Perhaps her mental health problems are clouding her judgement but her inability to reflect, listen to more information & consider other peoples views is stunted & nieve to say the least.
Why people perceive differently fka twigs and Lana on pole: 1) fka twigs song is about love and her emotions towards man she gave everything she could but he mistreated her. Lana song is about being overpowered by men. She is portraying a sex worker that entertain older men. 2) fka twigs is professional dancer that trained for more than 10 years. She sees pole danincing as a form of art and incorporate it in her music as a way to express herself. Lana get on pole once just to bring it down to stripping. She has never been a part of pole dance community neither a sex worker yet she uses it for aesthetic of a struggling girl. 3) fka twigs in her video shows her skills. Through her dancing she express vulnerability, sexuality, passion etc. It helps to understand what the song is about and what her feelings are. Lana didn't even get on pole. She was standing next to it holding it. It is used as a plot. If you change her pole dancing scenes to scenes of her taking money from a man and going behind the corner with him it will have the same meaning. 4) Lana mv is from 2013 (if I'm not wrong) where every female artist that expressed herself sexually were slutshamed and pole dancing was seen as a stripping only. Fka twigs mv is from 2019 where after celebrities such as nicki minaj, Beyonce, rihanna etc people were more open minded to the idea of women being sexually free and it was normalised . Also pole dancing is now being recognized as a discipline and form of art due to the many women in pole dance community that through the years showed it as dance, way to express emotions and by being fragile while doing that. Both songs are good. Their perception is different but saying that she is called whore while twigs is art is a reach. The same people that slutshame you will slutshame twigs. The same people who call twigs art, won't slutshame you.
I'm fine with her singing about unhealthy relationships, but I don't think it's ok for her to call those love songs and not songs of caution. In that way I believer she does romanticize abusive relationships by promoting them as "real-life love songs" like no real love does not have abuse.
She keeps calling them love song and “just singing about being in love!” And not “tragic stories of being manipulated and abused” when she tries to argue people’s critique of her glamorizing abuse as she quoted this herself, is plenty telling. There is just so much contradiction and mental disconnect she is doing she is either just a very very very dumb person or a very very very ruthless attention/money/PR seeking person who’s willing to do anything, eg, to use literal ROMANTICIZATION of tragic situations, which is exactly glamorization, to the point of inflaming regressive debates-coupled by the fact she clearly doesn’t EVEN care to research what era of feminism actually is when making bold claims about feminism in such a tone deaf way that is so negligent, it seems like no matter what she claims her intentions are it DOES constitute malice because she knew what she is saying all along. I am so sick of her. I didn’t know about the video and now I completely see who she is.
She really tried to make it sound like she was admiring the artists she listed... she reduced their music to such superficial concepts, and even if it’s true, she juxtaposed herself as clearly better because she wasn’t singing about those same topics but instead was berated for singing about being a “delicate” (ugh the over usage of that word I cringe) woman. She really said I’m better because I don’t show off my body. Just let women do what they want. Ultimately I do think feminism is different for everyone because it’s about empowering women in however they feel comfortable with. No one said she has to be “strong,” but it is obviously a popular way for women to empower themselves right now because women have been forced or expected to be “delicate” and “fragile” for so many centuries as Lana describes herself. She can be a feminist in her passive and domestic self, but she shouldn’t bash other women for feeling sexually liberated in how they express themselves. She really has a superiority complex... I do like her music though. She just needs to understand that no one really cares about “making space” for “fragile women” in feminism because that’s been so widely accepted for so long. It’s not something women have had to fight for. But again, she can do whatever and be however she wants because if that’s what makes her feel comfortable and empowered so be it.
"women have been forced or expected to be “delicate” and “fragile” for so many centuries as Lana describes herself." Except this is only the case for white women(like Lana). Black women have always been forced to be the "strong Black woman" who relies on no one but herself and doesn't have any emotions or vulnerability. It is also used to masculinize us because being strong is associated with masculinity due to sexism and it is used to say that Black women don't deserve to be treated with gentleness or kindness like other(namely white) women. So for Lana to label herself as more delicate and contrast herself with "stronger" women who "show off their body" and name majority Black women to do that, is incredibly racist and anti-feminist. You can be soft and feminine without being weak but in Lana's case she is just using that to uphold her white femininity and attack Black women by dismissing them, pigeonholing them, and stereotyping them.
Yeh that’s sad us women should stick together as sisters And idk why I have to say this but some people yah know I’m not saying stick together to hate on men just to clear that up smh
Bc she's bitter. She took the safe route by being "delicate" and "passive" bc it's the most marketable, and yet other women went the opposite direction by going after "self-empowerment" and being "unapologetically aggressive & raunchy" yet still found success. She wants to take them down a notch bc she feels like it's not fair that these women are getting awards, breaking charts, sustaining radio play, etc. while her so-called "marketable image" is outdated. Envy is poison, everytime she drinks it, you can see that haterade spewing back up her throat and out her mouth with vitriol. She's a sad woman who has 0 self-awareness.
@Noah Ball yeah i get that but she was comparing them with her to make herself look better in a sense because she's more "feminine" and "soft", i could be wrong but that's how i felt
Noah Ball she literally dragged them down by saying that “unlike them”, who sing about sex and stuff, aka unserious stuff, she writes about being embodied and having beautiful relationships, aka serious stuff. lana always gets shit ton of criticism for the music she makes and so has all the rights to speak out about that, but instead of exposing journalists and magazines who are the main problem she name dropped other women (including ariana, whom she had collaborated with), which was awkward and only showed her self-centered personality. she could’ve worded it a different way, really.
@@fionnrex9513 he meant that in like a consent setting, because it's more often than not a man who doesn't listen to what a woman wants. by saying "the kind of woman" is putting the blame on women for men who are at fault for taking a no for a yes. hope that helps
Her "delicate voice" isn't silenced by "strong women". These "strong women" stand up for all women, "delicate" or whatever you may refer to yourself as, and that statement sounded very ignorant. Edit: I understand that discriminating against WOC via dehumanization and masculinization (of those who don't want to be presented as such) is prominent and wrong as a (specifically black) POC myself. That in and of itself just adds to the idea of her insults towards these artists. I misunderstood some comments at first, but I agree. Thanks to those in the comments for these points too
Honestly, calling herself “delicate” relative to the women she listed is inherently dangerous in itself in my opinion. She’s low key playing on the “angry black woman” stereotype, especially when she claims that her delicate voice is being silenced by “strong women.”
Anybody trying to be themselves in Hollywood probably feels oppressed tbh. Idk why she felt the need to compare herself to others. But I think there was a good point in there somewhere that she didn’t convey articulately.
I still don’t understand how or why she couldn’t be like, “Look at all these amazing women- my peers and contemporaries. I respect their art and I’m so grateful for their friendship. However, I do feel like perhaps fragile femininity is losing its place in society. I am imploring all the wonderful people who willingly support all these women open up their hearts and realize fragility can and should have a place in modern feminism.” LIKE HOW HARD IS THAT?
Beyonce: Had literal protests during Lemonade Nicki Minaj: Everyone in the industry been trying to take her down Lana: im struggling as a privileged rich white woman 🥺 Sidenote: who tf is stopping Lana from releasing music im confused
she was upset because she stripped in one of her music videos and she was slut shamed by critics. Her point was that artists like ariana grande and Nicki Minaj can do that without being shamed, and she wants to be able to do that too. And being white doesn't mean you are incapable of having hardships in life.
@@cayleecat5948 bro, nicki is and has been shamed for a LONG time. For her content, for her plastic surgery, she's been put against other female rappers and mocked. Lana is delusional if she thinks she has it harder than many of these women she mentioned

Well, to be honest that’s the way it’s supposed to be. I’m not a fan of cancelling people completely for stupidity, nobody is born perfect and we all act stupid sometimes, but calling people out on their mistakes while also recognizing they still have good qualities is both an act of justice and empathy because you’re pointing out their mistakes while also giving them the chance to rethink what they said and redeem themselves. I hope Lana gets the message instead of acting all defensive.

"If a woman says no and a man hears yes, that's not a type of woman, that's a type of man..."

Mango Overlord “pull a UTAH” AHHH
Maybe being intentionally obtuse/goal post shifting by bringing your "words say no but voice says yes" concept is actually just having a screwy sense of flirtation yourselves? I never once had a moment where I acted on something that the woman did not word-for-word verbally commit to and things worked just fine! It's necessary or important to you do play these games, such that you'd defend it online? hmm
@wings of a butterfly No means no. If you had no interest with someone but they kept pushing themselves onto you, thats harrassment. It's people like you who pressure people into having sex/relationships with you with your constant begging, bitching and moaning.
@wings of a butterfly LDR can hardly be considered "original" for discussing the 'no means yes' trope. The writer Colette immediately comes to mind. Her short stories look at different sides of that trope: its destructiveness, its nuance, possibly pleasures, and the consequences.
That this young man can intelligently discuss different templates placed onto members of society and reflect back the idea that most often the man is placing his designs on the woman is at least worthy of discussion. Certainly the idea that LDR might be a bird in a cage she doesn't know exists would be next level as well. Or she might simply be flirtatious as you say...or even the mistress devising all this, a puppet master. That's still not terribly original, but perhaps interesting. Madonna thought it was fun 20+ years ago.
However, to dismiss the reality that so many women deal with unwanted attention under the guise of "no means yes" as the crabbing of sjw's is far too pat. You seem far too intelligent to miss that.
“The kind of woman who says no but men hear yes...” “That’s not a kind of woman, that’s a kind of MAN.”
I can not tell you how much hope I have for the future hearing a young man say that. ❤️
It’s talking about her self esteem and her not saying how she truly feels. She lets men use her and she doesn care. There’s a lot of depth to her statement actually. But looking at it on the surface is interesting also
You really got me when you said this...thank you.
That was ultimate king behaviour
can someone explain the meaning of that sentence to me? i understand the words but not the.... meaning of it (english language barrier maybe ) :/
JYNX I reread it and couldn’t understand it completely either
the whole point of feminism is that every woman is accepted and has equal rights to men
No shit
Thanks sherlock
Unless you're not feminist enough. Then you're just cancelled by the super open and inclusive group of neolibs.

Yes. He gives me hope in the future. I'm in my 30s, and love his channel because he uses critical thinking. Very smart young man.
Yes!! I am so thankful he said that in exactly that way. It’s really refreshing to hear a man say that.
Yeah, the moment she said there should be a place in feminism for women who "say no but mean yes" I was like "oh, so you mean feminism should accommodate women too insecure in their sexuality, agency and desires to state what they want by reinforcing the dangerous and harmful belief that even when women explicitly state someone's sexual advances aren't welcome they secretly are, so no harm done?"
She's got some audacity dubbing herself a "strong woman" and that "she paved the way" when she can't even admit what she wants to her partner lol. Saying that feminism should support this line of thinking really just outs her as someone whose comments on feminism and women's issues shouldn't be taken seriously as she's clearly talking from a place of ignorance. How out-of-touch does she have to be to not realize that the kind of "woman" she's describing is opposed to feminism's ideas of valuing women's words and reclaiming female sexuality? Her brand of "womanhood"- and by that I mean solely her "say no but mean yes" part of it, not traditional femininity nor submissive role- never was and never will be morally okay. Her thinking that "a new/3rd wave of feminism will come" (ayyyy lmao, I'm second-hand embarrassed on her behalf at this point) in which this is acceptable, is just another indication of her talking out of her ass while trying to look informed.
This was likely just a publicity stand so I don't wanna waste too much time talking about it. I just think it's genuinely hilarious that she gets butthurt over people telling her that she's regressive then wonders what's wrong with feminism for not endorsing her "I say no but I mean yes" bs that is frequently used as an excuse for sexual assault and rape. It's a statement that's lacking self-awareness so much that it's brilliant.
Oh and D'Angelo's a doll for voicing that, and voicing it so briefly yet accurately.

also as someone whos been studying feminist movements for years i hate how shes acting like no feminist has ever advocated for more traditionally feminine women to be treated with respect and dignity when feminists HAVE advocated for these women. she doesnt understand that feminism isnt about rejecting traditional femininity, but about rejecting the idea that femininity is inferior to masculinity and giving agency for women (and everyone) to choose how they want to perform their gender identity without being ostracized. she doesnt understand feminism at all which is even more infuriating.
i don’t think she’s talking about what feminism as an idea may stand for but how many feminists perceive women like her
just take a quick scroll through this comment section and you’ll see many people invalidating her personality and demeanor as the result of the patriarchy and self deprecating
@@bluewescott4631 whether or not shes talking about how people who claim to be feminists perceive her, or feminism, she's still very ill-informed because if she took the time to sat down and talk to people who do actual feminist work, she would know that feminism does advocate for her as well, and that feminists aren't criticizing her for her traditional femininity, but rather the way she talks of other women and feminism as well. also idk i dont see many comments like those. the ones that i do see criticize her for her "not like other girls" behavior, which again isnt a criticism of her personality, buy rather how she thinks her personality is somehow above others.
@@pterocardio i think that even if that’s the intent of the movement the amount of supporters who do not recognize and support that intent is great enough to where it has been erased in every impactful way and even though true feminists accept all women, the bulk of the movement, which is like all movements made up of people who don’t think for themselves (not that feminism is wrong, just that people repeat opinions and don’t form them), makes it so that the impact of the movement and it’s rhetoric does not accept traditional femininity
@@bluewescott4631 while i agree that there will always be people who dont understand what feminism stands for who skew the principles of the movement, i do not believe that is the majority. my issue with lana del rey's perspective of feminism and feminists is even early on she has excluded herself from the conversation, claiming that she'd much rather study the universe than feminism when she was asked about it. she has the privilege to exclude herself from feminist conversations and now she is claiming that women like her have no space in the feminist movement. she's very privileged and yet she posits herself as lacking in it simply because she is traditionally feminine, and that's really the crux of the criticism of many feminists towards her. and every time she gets criticized for it, she considers it as an attack towards her femininity.
@@pterocardio i can see your perspective and i respect your opinion especially with the part about excluding herself from the convo 👍

Seeing at the point of feminism is that women are all judged, put against each other, taught to hate ourselves and our bodies etc, it shocks me that people get mad when a woman expresses she feels misunderstood. The whole “I’m not like other girls” thing makes no sense me personally, because while I can’t relate, I understand that some women/people feel genuinely different and outcasted by society. But once they actually embrace that difference and label themselves as “weird”, people genuinely ATTACK them for saying it. They often aren’t trying to say that they’re above other women. It’s just that people made THEM feel that they were different and isolated. I don’t get it...

6:54 "why am i coming after Cody Ko? He didn't do anything" is so funny after seeing everything so down now 😨
The stupidest part of her statement is that she was acting like women who sing about sex and stuff don't get critisiced? They 100% do. And submissive, feminine women have always been the societal norm and more accepted. So it just doesn't make any sense. All female creators are going to get critisiced just because they take up space and are women.
exactly! like i saw a tweet that says Tory was right in shooting Megan thee stallion because she has sexual songs...
And the fact that she is whining about being criticized about singing about her experiences when many of those artists she's listed sing about their experiences. I'm sorry Lana that sad girl vibes are your life but just like how your experiences are valid so are those of strippers, so are those of druggies, so are those of toxic relationships that thrive on sex. Don't invalidate another women's experience of being in the streets and stripping for money when that's what their story is and say that oh they're super popular for talking about sex when I'm trying to talk about real shit. It's very hypocritical to say the least.
yh I was thinking the same thing there is literally no artist that hasnt been criticised. People have been bashing Jennifer Lopez and Shakira for their "sexual" performance last year and literally turned off the TV. Female artists singing about sex are somehow still seen as controversial and boundary crossing, which in itself is pretty sad to me, considering how many male artists have been able to sing about getting laid for decades by now. How often any artist is slut shamed no matter what outfit they were. Megan and Nicki have been slammed so often as if their music will turn girls into sex demons or sth. But sure, Lana is the only one who has ever been criticised of anything.
She says “Let me be clear” and then makes an extremely ambiguous double negative statement.
"let me be clear"
_did you mean_
"let me be extremely opaque"

Funniest part is how the women she pointed out arent even in the same genre as her??? And why didnt she cherry pick white women?
Exactly!! She’s finding the correlation between the things they talk about but honestly the reason they’re mainstream and she isn’t is simply because Lana’s music is not pop, super catchy, high tempo, etc
i think it's because she meant the lyrics and not the songs from them in general
It's not about genre, it was about the topics that are acceptable to sing about as a women.
The things she sings about are empowering her, same way that all the singers she mentioned have their "empowering" style.
interesting how she didn’t mention billie eilish who makes similar music to her - who she actually lost a grammy to and has surpassed her in popularity despite being in the industry for 10 minutes.

White rich woman doesn’t have a voice... poor Lana
As a white woman, it genuinely made me uncomfortable to hear her say "feminism needs a space for women like me". Her comments come from such a childish woe is me place and not as a comment about it. These 7 women she's mentioned have empowered women so much.
Her comment isnt about race though, take off the identity politics goggles that you Americans love to wear 24/7. She is talking about women who are traditionally 'feminine, girly, soft, etc. Ignoring ethnicity completely, her vibe is so different from someone like Cardi B or even Beyonce. And I'm not talking about skin colour. Presentation and aesthetic matters to our perception of people. We're obviously going to perceive Lana in a different way to Cardi B given that the latter is overtly sexual in her image and lyrics and shaking her ass, sticking tongue out and so on. Obviously Lana knows she is a pretty girl, but she doesnt use her sexually in an aggressive manner like a lot of POC women artists do. More softer less assertive women like her tend to get a bit undermined by the industry and by feminists. That is what she is referring to.
And I mean, define empowering? Its not a one size fits all thing. Is WAP empowering? Not to a lot of women it's not! Alot of people find it gross, quite frankly.
@@harrypike5140 if it's not about race then why did you mention POC creators specifically? This is exactly the point. You can comment on every person on here complaining but I'm assuming that you aren't a woman and can't actually understand what makes a woman feel empowered. Women can be empowered by anything and you're a moron if you're gonna sit here and say that they can't. And also someone like Lizzo is definitely a person who empowers women. Beyonce also. this isn't identity politics it's a statement of her blatantly using POC women to push an agenda that there's not more "soft" women. It's offensive and hurtful to those women and to all the women in the space. Also fuck off bringing up WAP. It's the first thing men go to to say women are "whores" and it's not empowering. Maybe, just maybe, women appreciate songs about their sexual experience that isn't just from the male perspective.
YES
@@harrypike5140 traditional ideas of femininity in America are very tied to whiteness. Black women have historically been perceived as aggressive, overtly sexual, and even incapable of feeling real pain. Lana's image relies in part on her race, and that's not her fault, but the way that she's acting in this situation does have unfortunate parallels to white women using victimhood as a weapon.
@@rampagingrexy7202 go off, coomer. WAP, Lizzo and Cardi B are all gross. If you genuinely feel empowered by a song about wet vaginas then you need to look in the mirror tbh. It's not about gender. It's equally as cringe if a man was saying that a song with lyrics about hard penises is empowering to men. It's not. It's crude and immature. You can express your sexuality without nonsense like that. Better yet, be Sexual in your private life and not in everyone's faces..
Me not being a woman makes no difference to my ability to determine what's objectively a good female role model or not. The same as you would be able to tell men that some of their role models are not good.

We didn’t even know that there would be a Lana cult and hamster cult and the burning bible drama even just 1 week ago
This feels a lot like the “I’m not like other girls” mentality
That’s because it is. It was a “I’m different, I still sTanD ouT”
I think also ”fragility” is her way of saying that she often identifies strongly with literary children. “ Were gonna party like it’s 1949. Were in the Chevrolet from July to July, gonna see it all before he says goodbye. Every man deserves to see the sunrise.” Essentially I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with her being called out for anti-feminist rhetoric, because she shows support for statutory rape in four songs: mildly in off to the races, with the Humbert line “ light of my life fire of my loins,” and more aggressively in 1949, Lollita, and the song I quoted before Every Man Gets His Wish.
Ya and the way she drags other women in order to look like more of a victim? Not cool
I'm a fan of Lana and I'm still soaking in all this tea.. my mind is teetering on the notion of separating the art from the artist or outright cancel. Either way I can never hear her music again without this hiccups ringing in the background
That gave me a " Everyone else is a slut but I'm a good girl, daddy" vibes..
I think she perceives herself as a deep, thoughtful, melancholy artist in a sea of vapid, hyper-sexual, obnoxious, fake-confident pop divas, and that feminism is just Lizzo shaking her ass and Ariana singing about her exes. I think her shallow understanding of feminism, and maybe her reluctance to confront the actual tenets or history of feminism, turns her away from it and makes her uncomfortable when people want to hold her to the standards she hasn't bothered to/wanted to ingest and learn. I think she'd rather not think too hard about it, and when she does try to make a point regarding feminism, she ends up retreading ground that feminists have actually already covered. She'd know that if she cared to educate herself.
YES KATIA! You are so right! She isn't bothered to want to learn and instead deems herself an oppressed, delicate victim.
👏👏👏
Nail on the head, exactly
Summary: she thinks she’s better than every else because she’s “not like other pop stars (girls)” and no one can tell her anything because ignorance is bliss and she thinks she’s better than everyone else.
yuppp
she had a question for the culture but didn’t want to hear the answer.
Lol
that’s pretty much it
because nobody wants to hear your sad music lanie, if you want a number 1, make music that sounds like something that is more celebrated by the GP 😭 get more popular, and then maybe collab with one of those girls you called out, if theyd still give you a chance. Thats the answer, period.
😂
Whenever someone asks what this whole scandal is about, Im just going to tell them that 😂
"Why am I coming after Cody Ko, he hasen't done anything..." That hits different in the present day.
I'm so confused by what she means when she says "fragile" and "delicate". Does it imply that soft-spoken women are emotionally deeper than other women? How do you classify yourself as fragile? Does it imply past trauma? How can you assume you are more "fragile" than other people?
Maybe she refers to those women that do not want to portray a powerful,strong and "i do not need no men" image that is so wanted these days
I’d also like to know
She's passive aggressive and feels she has a monopoly on important emotions.
Yeah I also wish she elaborated what on earth that means. She keeps using those two words but doesn’t go on to say what that means. Like what is she even TRYING to say....
Anonim Anonim But most women aren’t like that 100% of the time. Beyonce gave us “Love Drought” and “Best Thing I Never Had” and “Irreplaceable” and “Ring the Alarm”
Most women aren’t 1D fragile and delicate or strong and independent. There are layers that LDR didn’t acknowledge.
“Feminism has always had space for women who look like Lana Del Rey” CORRECT 👏🏻
not now
Agustín Baletti Where have you been? The most mainstream form of feminism is lead by white cis women. For example black women made their own branch called Womanism because white feminists often neglect how pale skin colour and European features give them an edge even if overall women are treated badly.
I don't know about you but there is an entire branch of feminism that views women as a collective and therefore any decision a woman makes puts women down as a class. So to these people a woman singing about a traditionally feminine role is putting other women down. This is what happens when people don't think their ideologies through. Liberal feminism is more about individual choice, yes, but second wave and radical feminism is about women as a collective. That's why nobody bat an eye when Lorde said that Lana's music is unhealthy for young women or every music critic I watched said that she's a bad "representation" for women.
Don't be so superficial when she said "look" like me the last thing that came to mind was her physical appearance. Stay at home moms often express that they are being judged really harshly mostly by other women.
I really don't appreciate her stereotyping of what a feminist is. Don't worry Lana, most of what you said in this statement makes it clear you aren't a feminist even if you say your "not not a feminist".
Ikr! When have they not?
she really called herself "the type of woman who says no and men hear yes" as if only 'delicate' women get assaulted... that phrasing in general is so gross too like men aren't confused or misunderstanding, they hear no just fine and purposefully choose to ignore it
Ugh exactly what I thought when I heard her say that. Bruh men like that don't listen to ANY woman who says no....
Yeah it’s so disgusting to describe yourself as prone to sexual abuse like it’s a personality trait. She almost seems to like that.
Laura Sparkles That glorification of abuse is disgusting
@@parkchimmin7913 no kidding. Also consider that, it doesn't take you being "delicate" or "glamorous" to have certain men try to take advantage of you. Every implication in her statement is abhorrent.
Laura Sparkles It makes it seem as if “delicate” women are “more desirable” to men.
This is why feminism gets a bad rep: because Lana did one of the very things that feminism has been accused of promoting but actually doesn’t; Lana brought herself up by bringing down 7 other artists who had nothing to do with what she was trying to say. She did have some good points, but it’s hard to get around the fact that she threw a handful of people under the bus. She’s super talented; why does she need to start controversy like this?

Lol Lana “strong women” are NOT your enemy
Also, she's there waiting for the third wave of feminism? Any day now.....any day, it'll be here
Someone get Lana on the phone, I have some exciting news
As a Black woman who is also femme, I definitely think she has a good point about how femininity and softness need to be welcomed in the feminist movement. However, my problem lies in the fact that
1) she ignores the fact that femininity is already accepted in the feminist movement and that a large thing a lot of feminists are fighting for is the fact that femininity doesn't equal weakness*, and
2) she juxtaposes herself with mostly Black and Latina women(with the only white woman she mentioned, Ariana Grande, being a woman she clearly believes is a woman of color considering how she says she didn't include a 100% Caucasian woman in the mix), and describes them as overly sexual and "stronger" than her and taking away her voice, while casting herself as the more beautiful, sensitive, softer woman. In doing so, she reinforces the racial stereotypes of white women being delicate, feminine, and graceful, while Black and/or Latina women are all overly sexual, aggressive, masculine, and loud. She also uses her white woman tears to victimize herself in comparison to these women, and pretend that they, who have done and said nothing to diminish or demean her, are brutally silencing her voice and shoving her out of the feminist movement(while also somehow managing to compare them to men who hate women). Once again, casting herself as a meek and delicate lady in contrast to the aggressive, angry, strong Black woman. She places herself on a pedestal above them by describing herself as glamorous and feeling "embodied", implying that those women are not glamorous and don't sing songs about genuine love or heartbreak, or anything other than stripping, cheating, and sexual pleasure. Even though women like Beyonce and FKA Twigs exude femininity, grace, and elegance, she refuses to see them that way because of their Blackness.
Her post could have been fine if she had merely spoken about her OWN issues instead of bringing down women she claims to be fans of. If she is actually their fans, then why didn't she hype them up??? If her problem is that women don't get to have a voice, why didn't she use them as examples of talented and successful women whose voices, like hers, also get erased and put down by the media(although ofc worse bc they're women of color, except for Ariana Grande). Why make it an us vs them where it's "those vicious ghetto Black Jezebels get to twerk and shake up their bodies and everybody applauds them, but when a sweet innocent white woman like me wants to make REAL music about love and tenderness I get attacked!!! Not fair!!!!!!" She's basically saying that Black women can't be as softspoken, feminine, or gentle as her, and are all slutty, promiscuous, rough, and masculine. THAT'S the issue(and also the creepy rape culture shit as you said). And that's why I don't like her.
*I must also mention that Black women especially are the ones fighting for the right to be dainty, innocent, and soft because of how often it has been stripped from us through masculinizing and fetishizing stereotypes of the "strong Black woman" or the Sapphire, or the Jezebel. Which are all tropes that Lana del Rey is pushing and reinforcing in her comment, and which makes her dismissal to the criticisms all the more harmful. She needs to read a Racism 101 book before she opens her social media browser ever again, mmkay?

Lana also used to have sexual songs, she wasn’t bashing them. She was questioning why they were allowed to continue what they were doing without being slammed by critics.

When you're a wealthy, musically talented, privileged artist sitting on near legendary status, but you're just itching to get cancelled across all social media in the light of a world wide meltdown in 2020:
Lana Del Rey:
Cancel culture is toxic asf
she seems a little bit like the type of outdated white feminist that wants to profite from feminism and feels like shes treated unfairly when she isnt. i get being bashed for your sexualitiy or your lyrics is horrible and definitely sexist and i wholeheartedly agree. but she acts like shes the only one or that she has it the worst, when in fact it isnt a competition in the first place (and it isnt - there may be different levels to discrimination, I mean a black woman would definitely have more disadvantages in life than her as a white woman). just, comparing the hatred/pain/criticism you faced because of your gender to other women, wording it that way? problematic af. not to mention that she kinda proved that she doesnt know much about feminism apart from the ways it would directly effect her anyways.
this is very well-worded comment! i couldn’t have said it better myself. i don’t think a lot of white women realize that whenever they are speaking about issues of inequality or sexism, or whatever it is- THEY ARE WHITE BEFORE THEY ARE ANYTHING ELSE. you are a WHITE woman fighting for feminism, you are a WHITE woman talking about your sexuality. it’s different. when lana sings a song most people can understand how it feels like to be in that position but it’s not the same for artists like mitski and sza. there is only so much a white person can empathize with songs from mitski and sza, because although they are talking about not feeling good enough to men, feeling like their efforts are unappreciated to society, they feel that way as women of color- something white women will never understand.
This.
Raise your hand if you're the crazy neolib in the room? Of course we have to bring race into it, even though it literally has nothing at all to do with race...a north korean woman in north korea has it way worse than a black woman in the United States, in general, but seriously...what is your fucking point? The mental gymnastics you people go through to link everything to race, imaginary privilege and quite literally made up intersectionality must be exhausting...unless you're just one of the dumb ass "woke" playing follow the leader who doesn't even understand what your own terminology actually means, which is about 98% of you. Lana is popular with women everywhere because there's a very primitive undertone of the relations between men and women that most artists are unable to articulate. Since she lays it out on the table without man bashing, it's just not feminist enough for you. For a culture of inclusion, and by that I mean your liberalism AND feminism...you people sure are quick to point out when someone is too white or not quite feminist (or should I say angry) enough for your liking. You neolibs are the most close-minded, exclusionary group of jerk offs that have ever existed. You spend an awful lot of time congratulating yourselves for being "woke" while being so ridiculous that it's impossible to imagine any real change could come of any of it. You guys have done so much damage by preaching to extremes and socially castrating anyone who doesn't live up to you that YOU have driven real progress back 50 years. Normal people have no choice but to dig in and resist because you don't want meaningful change, you want your BS dogma. People like you are the reason I now lean conservative after 22 years of voting blue. Congrats on destroying yourselves from within.

This is gonna sound so ironic.
I or we I guess, never said she wasnt problematic. Every celeb has done some f8cked up shit, and no one is ever right. Im just saying, i genuinely dont think shes a bad person. I met her, shes kind, shes nice and yes she has a horrible way of expressing her opinions but that doesnt mean shes not entitled to her own opinion.
Being aesthetic and "quirky" like that is her image, so it makes sense she would try to maintain that, dont you agree?
Cry more
Why does she feel the need to put “strong” woman as something that she isn’t? Being very feminine, and delicate or wanting to stay at home does not mean you are weak. If you consider yourself weaker than others bc of that, then that’s putting women down again, except in this case you’re putting women like yourself down. And honestly what she’s doing of putting down other types of women to put women like herself up...that’s not feminism, it’s toxic femininity, which is to put down other women because of inner misogyny. (I’ve said the words “women” and “putting down” WAY too many times lol)
your comment deserves allot more likes, tbh. hard agree.
As long as you are yourself what is the difference? Differentiating between types of females is the same as differentiating between males. We are all humans and we all can and should be who we feel we are at our core.
strong has many meanings. she meant strong as in opposite to "delicate". your argument is wayyyy out of context

Whether it was her intention or not: The fact that she describes black artists as perceived stronger, louder and more overpowering than her- who she describes as delicate and fragile is exactly the problematic stereotyping of black women as being less feminine and less deserving of gentleness. And it shows how much this idea is engrained in our minds as a culture
fucking EXACTLY ! she wants to pretend like it's a coincidence/outright ignore the fact that she threw a group of (mainly) black women under the bus by portraying them as aggressive, loud, uneducated, & unenlightened in order to make her, a white woman, look better, smarter, and more "in touch" with her emotions. & the fact that she sees accusations of racism as some kind of silly drama to scoff and roll your eyes at just proves how little she actually cares about racism as well.
Yep. For someone who claims she doesn't care about feminism she's really desperately portraying herself as a white feminist.
How? Nobody mentioned race. People mentioning race when it’s not being talked about, is irrelevant to the topic, is ridiculous and trying to victimise people for literally no reason. You bringing race into this is racist.
It isn't racist to call out racism... ughh...

Pick one sis
I mean Lana has made a career out of being "damaged", having issues with mental health, loving toxic relationships, and packaging herself in a very traditional vintage yet depressed bow. Did everyone really expect her to have healthy well thought out views on the world? I know her songs are relatable in moments of your life, but artists LIVE the music they sing and the worlds it creates. If it's all sad and about toxic relationships and fucked up views on life, they probably won't be the most well adjusted person.
Holy shit you make a great ass point. She doesn’t talk much but when she does... yikes why didn’t I see that before.
@Ashley G. It means being respectful and not being all the drama there is out there
I'm not even sure what a well-adjusted person is supposed to mean. To me, that's like kinda saying a person who's "normal" when what normal is could depend on who you ask. I'm sure there a plenty of people who would say she's "well adjusted". Not saying she is or isn't but that it's kinda subjective and based on personal perspectives.
Damnnn i had always wondered if she thought in the retro old fashioned house wife views her lyrics convey& I guess she does ??
@Carin Monier she did live like that for at least a year in her life(yea, i know, i wasn't there to see it, but look up her trailer park interview). i don't know why you imply the her father's money means she had it easy. she was born a billionare, but worked as a waitress.
Lmao I just can’t fall for her “you’re misinterpreting me” bullshit. She’s making a whole album, coming out with books and literally claiming she’s the best at what she does. If that’s the case, Miss Lana, you should be able to appropriately convey a normal statement to the public. And I’m an actual fan of hers, I loved Lana’s aesthetic and “sad girl” vibes. I related to her until she made it clear she lives in her own world and has no idea what accountability means.
Exactly! For a writer, she did a terrible job with these posts, which definitely says something.
"I'm a writer first" she says but this woman can't convey a single thought without it ending up convoluted and borderline offensive. it's getting harder and harder to defend any of her actions anymore. and I was / am a fan too, I'm just too ashamed to admit it anymore. most of her stans make me embarrassed to support her behavior, no matter how much I may enjoy her art. blind support isn't healthy, being held accountable is. and like you said she lives in her own world and clearly doesn't want to take responsibility for anything she says or does. she'll still make millions at the end of the day regardless. 🙄
Oh, well, i tend to wonder if the artists we admire, especially the more delicate/sensitive, are able to create what they do because they are in their world 🤔 perhaps, maybe elements. Idk, maybe one has nothing to do with the other, but i know pieces ive created that i respect mightve been created do to that just ponderin

For YEARS feminism had no place for the artists she mentioned in the beginning of her statement. Feminism was originally created for white women's liberation. So much so that black women felt uncomfortable and unwelcome within the movement. They created their own sect of feminism and called it "womanism." It kind of infuriates me that this woman would position herself as the victim when black women have had to work so hard to even be seen within this movement.

brianna brady bardot She’s implying exactly what she commented.
The “strong women” that she talks about are mainly advocating for women and girls to stand up for themselves and feel empowered, NOT for them to become less vulnerable and emotional.
I feel like she's trying so hard to talk about and simplify the harsh and radical side of feminism. The side that will change every cute feminine character into a short haired punk. I'm not a feminist but I don't see how feminists are bringing ppl like her down. Alot of feminists have a straight mind and alot of them support all types of women.

Why people perceive differently fka twigs and Lana on pole:
1) fka twigs song is about love and her emotions towards man she gave everything she could but he mistreated her.
Lana song is about being overpowered by men. She is portraying a sex worker that entertain older men.
2) fka twigs is professional dancer that trained for more than 10 years. She sees pole danincing as a form of art and incorporate it in her music as a way to express herself.
Lana get on pole once just to bring it down to stripping. She has never been a part of pole dance community neither a sex worker yet she uses it for aesthetic of a struggling girl.
3) fka twigs in her video shows her skills. Through her dancing she express vulnerability, sexuality, passion etc. It helps to understand what the song is about and what her feelings are.
Lana didn't even get on pole. She was standing next to it holding it. It is used as a plot. If you change her pole dancing scenes to scenes of her taking money from a man and going behind the corner with him it will have the same meaning.
4) Lana mv is from 2013 (if I'm not wrong) where every female artist that expressed herself sexually were slutshamed and pole dancing was seen as a stripping only.
Fka twigs mv is from 2019 where after celebrities such as nicki minaj, Beyonce, rihanna etc people were more open minded to the idea of women being sexually free and it was normalised . Also pole dancing is now being recognized as a discipline and form of art due to the many women in pole dance community that through the years showed it as dance, way to express emotions and by being fragile while doing that.
Both songs are good. Their perception is different but saying that she is called whore while twigs is art is a reach. The same people that slutshame you will slutshame twigs. The same people who call twigs art, won't slutshame you.
I'm fine with her singing about unhealthy relationships, but I don't think it's ok for her to call those love songs and not songs of caution. In that way I believer she does romanticize abusive relationships by promoting them as "real-life love songs" like no real love does not have abuse.
She keeps calling them love song and “just singing about being in love!” And not “tragic stories of being manipulated and abused” when she tries to argue people’s critique of her glamorizing abuse as she quoted this herself, is plenty telling. There is just so much contradiction and mental disconnect she is doing she is either just a very very very dumb person or a very very very ruthless attention/money/PR seeking person who’s willing to do anything, eg, to use literal ROMANTICIZATION of tragic situations, which is exactly glamorization, to the point of inflaming regressive debates-coupled by the fact she clearly doesn’t EVEN care to research what era of feminism actually is when making bold claims about feminism in such a tone deaf way that is so negligent, it seems like no matter what she claims her intentions are it DOES constitute malice because she knew what she is saying all along. I am so sick of her. I didn’t know about the video and now I completely see who she is.
Haven't listened to her. Hmmm
She really tried to make it sound like she was admiring the artists she listed... she reduced their music to such superficial concepts, and even if it’s true, she juxtaposed herself as clearly better because she wasn’t singing about those same topics but instead was berated for singing about being a “delicate” (ugh the over usage of that word I cringe) woman. She really said I’m better because I don’t show off my body. Just let women do what they want. Ultimately I do think feminism is different for everyone because it’s about empowering women in however they feel comfortable with. No one said she has to be “strong,” but it is obviously a popular way for women to empower themselves right now because women have been forced or expected to be “delicate” and “fragile” for so many centuries as Lana describes herself. She can be a feminist in her passive and domestic self, but she shouldn’t bash other women for feeling sexually liberated in how they express themselves. She really has a superiority complex... I do like her music though. She just needs to understand that no one really cares about “making space” for “fragile women” in feminism because that’s been so widely accepted for so long. It’s not something women have had to fight for. But again, she can do whatever and be however she wants because if that’s what makes her feel comfortable and empowered so be it.
Are you saying that sex and stripping is bad?
Lana used to sing about the same thing.
"women have been forced or expected to be “delicate” and “fragile” for so many centuries as Lana describes herself." Except this is only the case for white women(like Lana). Black women have always been forced to be the "strong Black woman" who relies on no one but herself and doesn't have any emotions or vulnerability. It is also used to masculinize us because being strong is associated with masculinity due to sexism and it is used to say that Black women don't deserve to be treated with gentleness or kindness like other(namely white) women. So for Lana to label herself as more delicate and contrast herself with "stronger" women who "show off their body" and name majority Black women to do that, is incredibly racist and anti-feminist. You can be soft and feminine without being weak but in Lana's case she is just using that to uphold her white femininity and attack Black women by dismissing them, pigeonholing them, and stereotyping them.
why can't she just talk about herself without putting other women down smh
She is like that as a person.
Yeh that’s sad us women should stick together as sisters
And idk why I have to say this but some people yah know I’m not saying stick together to hate on men just to clear that up smh
Bc she's bitter. She took the safe route by being "delicate" and "passive" bc it's the most marketable, and yet other women went the opposite direction by going after "self-empowerment" and being "unapologetically aggressive & raunchy" yet still found success. She wants to take them down a notch bc she feels like it's not fair that these women are getting awards, breaking charts, sustaining radio play, etc. while her so-called "marketable image" is outdated. Envy is poison, everytime she drinks it, you can see that haterade spewing back up her throat and out her mouth with vitriol. She's a sad woman who has 0 self-awareness.
@Noah Ball yeah i get that but she was comparing them with her to make herself look better in a sense because she's more "feminine" and "soft", i could be wrong but that's how i felt
Noah Ball she literally dragged them down by saying that “unlike them”, who sing about sex and stuff, aka unserious stuff, she writes about being embodied and having beautiful relationships, aka serious stuff. lana always gets shit ton of criticism for the music she makes and so has all the rights to speak out about that, but instead of exposing journalists and magazines who are the main problem she name dropped other women (including ariana, whom she had collaborated with), which was awkward and only showed her self-centered personality. she could’ve worded it a different way, really.

Her "delicate voice" isn't silenced by "strong women". These "strong women" stand up for all women, "delicate" or whatever you may refer to yourself as, and that statement sounded very ignorant.
Edit: I understand that discriminating against WOC via dehumanization and masculinization (of those who don't want to be presented as such) is prominent and wrong as a (specifically black) POC myself.
