Does anyone else notice how Kesha can write this HORRIFICALLY MISOGYNISTIC song, which blatantly frames that a man acting "like a woman" (which is potrayed as being annoying, whiney and immature) is a bad thing, to the point where it is literally interpreted as the man in question having "a vag" -- but 7 years later she released the song Woman:
Which is clearly a feminist song suggesting women shouldn't be dependent on men and instead should be encouraged to take charge of their own lives, that women can be as powerful and capable as any man. It's honestly so generic and inoffensive that anyone can agree with it, but it's still contradictory to the inherently misogynistic lyrics of Grow A Pear because that song clearly states acting in a way that is seen "exclusive" to women is a thing to be ashamed of if you are a man, because "you should be better than that."
I feel like this is a great way to display that the average cis woman might agree with basic feminist views solely because *they* want their own individual freedoms, but they will happily weaponize the same misogynistic tropes that have oppressed them for their whole life if it means they can use it to emasculate "failed, weak" men and reinforce toxic masculinity so they can cement their power in their patriarchy as an active component in it instead of simply being a victim of it. It's tiring to see people act like cis women degrading men for not being "man enough" (eg: insulting them for their height, their penis size, their emotions or interests) is them "taking power back" and not just validating the same sexist system that is actively subjugating them: because if being a woman isn't a bad thing, why is a man "acting like a woman" a bad thing? Why is literally having "a vag" a sign of inferiority in a man if having a vagina isn't a bad thing? It's almost like cis women are also oppressors in a cispatriarchial system and they jump at the opportunity to finally have gendered privilege over someone.
