That means also doing so when it's females "having their fun".
The idea that everyone should be fine with it/it being sexist not to be fine with it seems to be based on the entirely flimsy premise that "no one is bothered when men do it" when really, if we think about it for a minute, we obviously know that people are indeed bothered when men do it.

The reason 'people' are bothered that the men that make those kinds of statements about women is it comes from a different place. Songs about bitches and *****s aren't comparable to this song about enjoying ..um, adventurous sex.
