what do you think of Cardi B?

For a slightly more serious reply - I think it's kind of terrible in general that people are looking to shallow, insipid celebrities to be their moral or political compass. I see major news outlets reporting that so-n-so rock or movie star has said such and so about this law or politician, and I think to myself, "but who cares?"
Young people, I guess. It's a blatant attempt to get young people to care and vote.

If we’re looking for a feminist angle on this I have seen someone talking about how male rappers can murder, sexually assault, sell drugs and just commit many acts violence and still be acceptable and even just part of their image. If a woman does it she’s ‘disgusting’ and ‘evil’. (This is mainly directed at those who are actually fans of the music of course)
Also the left and liberal feminism is all about how wonderful and empowering “sex work” is but when presented with the grubby reality of what goes on in the “industry” suddenly it’s unpalatable
I don’t like her music tbh and wouldn’t offer her up as someone to listen to for my daughter. I just find it eye rolling that once again we are being presented with another female figure to hate one while the male artists get shrugged away

I don't think of her often, I'm a bit too old for her music, I think.

But I heartily approve of robbing johns.

Good example. I hope if your daughter is ever forced to sell her body to survive, she, too, has the independent spirit and sense of justice to rob her would-be rapists blind.

I don't think of her often, lol

@StopThePlanet

Yes Azealia has got attitude in spades but I love that song.

Amos and Harvey are excellent musicians.

Personally I like to channel a mix of Janis Joplin, Grace Jones, Skin and Sinnead O Conner for female warrior mode ( - along with 70s-80s-90s rock)

Wallis Bird is particularly excellent too.

She's a flash in the pan scumbag. No way I'd let my daughter listen to the likes of her when she's older.

Wasn't trying to threadjack but I think I began to...

Drugging someone without their knowledge (outside of necessary medical situations) no matter what intent is wrong and should be prosecuted.

I didn’t know that she drugged and robbed men but it cements my opinion of her that she is absolutely vile.

@Socrates11

She makes my ears cry.

Mine too but I do take guilty pleasure from her song "Bodak Yellow". When I listen to it every time she says bitch I imagine bitch as patriarchy/misogynists.

Give me Azaelia Banks any day...212 is mega.

Agreed. However, she too refers (less so) to certain things like Cardi B that don't work within my feminist perspective.

PJ Harvey, Hole, Tori Amos... and more helped me to see myself as a powerful young woman - I don't see the same quality of female empowerment via music anymore.

Feminism isn't about equality. It's about liberating women. Just saying.

This.

One woman robbing men is a crime, a bad thing, and obviously not a good example.

It's not the systemic oppression of one sex by the other. So it's not a feminist issue as far as I can tell.

It’s a good example of a bad thing.

When I saw the title I thought it was a thread about cardigans!

The story I heard was her then boyfriend pimped her out to these men who she would then drug and rob not sexually assault do I approve of the crime no, do I feel sorry for the men that paid another man cash to rape got robbed again no.

She makes my ears cry.

Give me Azaelia Banks any day...212 is mega.

Feminism isn't about equality. It's about liberating women. Just saying.

To be honest, I don't really see this a male vs female situation, more an example of disgusting materialistic culture where people think they are entitled to do whatever they want to get what they want.

this is actually a great example of what total bollocks all the 'feminism is about equality' shit is

so men should get drugged and assaulted at same rate as women? it would be equality after all.....

Obviously this person who robbed men should be condemned for her actions.

They've even invented special nail polish for women, so women can dip a finger in the drink a man bought for them, to tell if they're about to be drugged and raped.
That's how common it is.

Doesn't mean women should do it too obviously.

OTOH if we feminists really want equality we should want women to drug men as frequently as they drug us because equality is what we want right? Big sista hi five.

she has openly admitted to drugging and robbing men. is this a good example?

Obviously not

What on earth are you expecting people to say?

That's how some people survived
Apparently not Cardi B though. Apparently she was a very popular and high earning adult performer, and made more than enough to survive just by dancing. Drugging people is assault, and crosses a line. She's lucky no one died and she never ended up on a murder charge.

Men get away with it, in large numbers.
