What is it with female artists going on about their vaginas in music?

[Liliith]

I quite enjoyed a Cardi B song my Dneice was listening to so i went down a rabbit hole listening to some of her other stuff. Every song was "my pussy" this and "my pussy" that.

I'm not a prude but I think it's crass. It's primarily an American thing from what I can tell. Cardi B isn't the only woman that does it.

AIBU to think it's cringe, stupid and that they're objectifying themselves?

Well don’t listen to it then

Sex sells.

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Men been doing it for years..is your issue that 'females' are doing it or that genitals in songs sung by bothes sexes are crass?

Women are already objectified by every tom and his dog..a female singer waxing lyericals about het fanny is restoring the balance..so sick of rappers going on about HER BOOTY and HIS MAJIK BBC.

If they want to sing about themselves then more power to them. The problem is when men objectify women in their songs. If you don't like it then don't listen

Yeah it's a bit grim. The fact she calls it that as well. I mean come on. Just makes it ok for men to do it.

Just because men constantly objectify women, doesn't make it any better when they do it to themselves.

Male artists have been rapping and singing about their dicks for years alongside hyper-sexualised comments about female bodies and derogatory remarks about female sexuality. If women want to sing about their own bodies then they should be able to without it being written off as crass.

Men have been singing about bitches and hoes and breasts and bums for years. Fair play to women for doing it now.

I know
It's vulva.

I think it’s a bit pathetic to be honest - Madonna did shock value 30 years ago, but with some talent. But hey ho, it’s up to them and I’m able to ignore it.

I wish it were so, but I think it's simply tipping the imbalance even further. It's not "empowered" - it's simply pandering to the male gaze.

Now I’m a boss, I write my own name on the cheques (Cardi)
Pussy so good, I say my own name during sex

In her own words, she raps about her pussy because it's her best friend.

If the lyrics offend you, don't listen.

It’s her job! I wouldn’t go saying it either then again on her salary (self made millionaire). I would!!

Women have cottoned on in this generation good luck to her.

I mean, each to their own but I don't like it. I think it's just unpleasant to listen to.

No, it doesn't. Same way that Black people calling each other the N word doesn't make it OK for white people to.

Men have been rapping about their dicks for god knows how many years so why can't a woman sing about her body the way she wants? By censoring other women you are just putting them down and shutting them up. Or is it that you don't think it's "lady like" for a woman to use the word pussy?

I loathe the word pussy used to describe female genetalia. It doesn't make it right for men or women to use it and I always feel let down when I hear a woman use it as well.

@GreytExpectations has it.

Women are reclaiming their sexuality after years of oppression from men. Nothing wrong with that.

It's not about being lady like it's just vulgar way of describing it like gash,cunt and all the others.

Sorry! I clicked YABU by accident.

I think YANBU

I also hate it when men have lyrics about dicks (well I would in theory, I never listen to music like that anyway)

Pussy so good, I say my own name during sex

Masturbate then! Just because men are so often selfish bastards in bed doesn't make it any better if we are too. I feel like a bit of a freak because I seem to be the only one left who thinks sex only feels good when it's an expression of love and appreciation of each other

Just because men constantly objectify women, doesn't make it any better when they do it to themselves

That's what I mean. I expect it from men, as revolting as it is, but it's sad to see women are now following suit.

From one of her songs:

Come on. Be grown, suck a dick, be nasty.
Ni**as like bitches that pop off and suck dick all day long.

Now give me all that money you be spending on your chick, Now give me all that money you be spending on your kid

Bitch, I got ass big titties and big lips
Your ni**as will fuck me and pay my rent

Once again don’t listen then, you obviously listen to them enough to know the lyrics. I’ve never heard any of her songs.
