Erm.... no Kizzy. You've completely changed the discussion.
Nobody was discussing whether sex is or is not feminist.
We're discussing whether music, lyrics and videos of this nature in pop culture can be taken as feminism or misogyny, or neither.
When did what people do in the privacy of their own sex lives become the debate? We're discussing music she has put out onto a public stage, not what she likes doing with her boyfriend.

She flipped the whole issue for me... misogyny is about control, if you take back control it ceases to be misogyny ergo it can't possibly be misogyny any longer can it?
New or otherwise.

I didn't say being submissive makes it not feminist. I responded to a point you made about her taking back control and being the dominant. All I said was the lyrics suggest she's submitting herself to the man.
Saying it ceases to be misogyny because the woman is objectifying herself is just not true. Women can be misogynistic too.
