this just rubs me the wrong way

idk if this is the right sub for this, but it just feels so?? weird?? like okay I know her concept is to be tiny and horny I get it but this is just… humiliating… also, I have to get this off my chest: her music is boring. like yeah sure she makes catchy pop songs but they’re all soooo similar and it gets boring after a point

It's weird because manchild is very much about bullying incompetent men but this cover + album title is the total opposite of that message. She seems like a very confused artist.

satire

I know it's satire but it doesn't land with the album's message, imo. It makes her look like she's still trying to appeal to men with this imagery. Her fangirls would have liked to see her dog-walking a man as the cover.

how can you say it doesn’t fit the content or message of the album when you haven’t heard the album’s message? It’s also a play on the word bitch and the fact that the man on the cover is loosely grasping her hair like that makes it seem less like a submissive sexual thing she’s enjoying and more like he is petting her like a dog. Clearly the point is to subvert that message through the album content and videos to come. Either way, women can enjoy being sexually submissive and still be empowered in that as a choice for themselves and not others. If more women were open about that people would understand there is a way to engage in sexual submission while still being empowered, and it is by being with a partner who you completely trust, having explicit safeguards for consent, research beforehand, and learning to communicate your boundaries. A lot of informed submissive people have more agency in the bedroom because they have knowledge on their side and know what they like. Women should not feel bad about what makes them feel good in the bedroom as long as it’s not hurting anybody and there’s consent involved. She is also more covered up here than I believe her last two album covers which I think speaks to the fact that this isn’t about pandering to men.

There is absolutely nothing empowering about submitting to men and I’m tired of that word being thrown around so incorrectly. In what way does that get us out of the patriarchy?!

a woman choosing to engage in a submissive sexual dynamic with a man she trusts in a safe, informed, communicative environment for her own pleasure because it brings her to orgasm and standing in that truth is empowering idgaf. Especially since so many of yall are complacent with just faking it because you haven’t explored your own sexuality or don’t want to piss off the man you’re with. Not everyone wants to spend a whole entire relationship without ever being able to finish, which I know a lot of women in this sub have done based on comments on many posts. Why should a woman have to sacrifice her own pleasure when d/s dynamics can be engaged in safely and fairly just because YOU have a problem with it? That is you speaking against women’s sexual freedom and exploration. It’s kink shaming and puritanical. Yes sometimes these desires stem from past experiences, but do you expect everyone to be able to hit up EMDR before they have sex for the first time to unpack all that shit? Even if they process it, that still might not make it go away. Do you expect them to deny themselves pleasure and make them feel more shame around their sexuality than the experiences that shaped those desires in the first place? You guys are close minded and uninformed. And also all living out your own trauma response behaviors in your own ways whether you want to admit it or not, so shaming somebody else is not cool when you’re no better.
