I think it is sexist because it depicts women as wanting money and stuff from men and it shows that its natural .
Apart from being sexist this song is fucking capitalist listing all the brands and advocating consumerism.
Some leftist friends though think that it is not sexist , it is just satirical and it is in reality anti-sexist. What do you think?

[TC]

I think it is sexist because it depicts women as wanting money and stuff from men and it shows that its natural .

I think you're sexist* for presuming that when a women suggests what she wants she implies that all women want it, or that when a female performance artist references herself on a video it "depicts women" in general rather than the individual woman.

You would not make a similar presumption about a male rap or r 'n b artist making similar comments about his sexual and consumer interests; this is because you apparently view men as the default gender so when a man makes over the top sexual comments in the media you don't think it reflects on men in general (since that he is a man is unremarkable, it is your presumed default)but when a woman does the same, you see the fact that she's a woman as being a more defining trait (her gender is relevant) so you judge her as a woman rather than as a person.


*actually I think you're sexist for lots of reasons.

[Hiero]

Whether it is sexist or not it at least revels how decedent and bankrupt pop culture is. It is a very annoying song.

[Sharon den Adel]

I think it is sexist because it depicts women as wanting money and stuff from men and it shows that its natural.


I don't see it as being sexist, especially not toward women. If the song were meant to be sexist toward women, I doubt Fergie would have agreed to sing it.

[Jazzratt]

I don't know about "sexist" and I think TC pretty much summed up why, but I know that the lyrics were so unbearably crap I only got 1/3 of the way through the second verse before thinking "fuck it".

[Holden Caulfield]

yes becasue you posted it,

i didnt read it, i just presumed

[Hiero]

DaveyD (http://www.daveyd.com/)made a good observation, apart from being very generic of pop music, it sounds like she is bragging about cancer.

[Malakangga]

oh,no shit. come on nvm !!!

[Hit The North]

I don't know about "sexist" and I think TC pretty much summed up why, but I know that the lyrics were so unbearably crap I only got 1/3 of the way through the second verse before thinking "fuck it".

That means you missed the mighty poetry of:

"I mix your milk wit my cocoa puff,
Milky, milky cocoa,
Mix your milk with my cocoa puff, milky, milky riiiiiiight."

:lol:

[Pirate turtle the 11th]

:lol: my ears are bleeding

[Malakangga]

wow,nice poetry Bob,i like it.

[BurnTheOliveTree]

Black Eyed Peas, man... Why? If ever you needed proof of the non-existence of a benevolent god, they're it. Fuckers.

[Colonello Buendia]

^^^ what he said

all in all it's not a sexist song, it's a woefully bad song but it's not sexist. nvm's interpretation is sexist

[RedAnarchist]

Its utter crap, like everything those ear-murderers inflict on the public.

[Kropotesta]

It's a fun song but I feel that the lyrics can only be percieved negatively.

[Kurt Crover]

I don't know about "sexist" and I think TC pretty much summed up why, but I know that the lyrics were so unbearably crap I only got 1/3 of the way through the second verse before thinking "fuck it".

This sums up what I wanted to say, and then some.

[Kami]

This song makes me think of cancer.

[KrazyRabidSheep]

I like BEP's older stuff (Elephunk is the newest album I own), but yes, currently they just produce radio-friendly generic pop/hip-hop.

[Pogue]

Nah its not nexist, its just shit

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

That song makes me want to commit murder. But I agree with Jazzratt and TC.

[Red Romeo]

It's stupid bubblegum pop and we really should all have better things to do than discuss the ideology of stupid top 40 songs.

[Dicktator]

It's stupid bubblegum pop and we really should all have better things to do than discuss the ideology of stupid top 40 songs.

Well, anyone can post more "important" topics for discussion, and I'll tell you my opinion on them, but discussion of pop music can lead to deeper subjects connected to them. Of course, this particular song SUCKS SO BAD that I really want to forget it fast as possible. Wow, what a POS. Wow!
