I don’t see anything in the article stating that the artist has said that is what the song is about, or showing that the lyrics actually say anything about that subject either. It looks like a feminist blog deconstructing the song and video and concluding that it must be about rape.
In my experience, a feminist can deconstruct Mary Poppins and conclude it is about rape.
After watching the video that t1b8zs posted I am just floored. I am speechless. I mean this. I grew up in the 80’s and remember when Billy Idol’s “Hot in the City” was banned from MTV for way way less than this!
The way women are portrayed in this video just sickens me.
What is worse and if you think about it that means young girls/women will imitate this behavior because they think that is how you “get a man”.
Yes it could be the author is not skilled in writing but I can see this video is clearly saying the man wants to have sex and sometimes getting consent is a problem. In one frame I saw one of the men “rolling his eyes” when he is singing about how he is getting past the “Blurred Lines”. He is clearly saying you are saying “Yes” when you just said “No”, or maybe the girl was not able to say “no” and he is just “rolling his eyes” and going ahead anyway.
Yes gentlemen I do notice details when I watch these videos. I know it is hard for men to do this when you have all those tee-taas distracting you.
