Why is such a bland song causing so much "discourse"
![]() It's no different to tons of others which are constantly being churned out...

It because of a Debate in the Guardian. [On the YouTube comments :Emsea says: Russell, I commend you. You have such an incredible gift to speak so eloquently and clearly. You use this gift to shed light on constructs that I feel are often built up by society to confuse us and lead us astray. You're a lighthouse. I am so grateful for you and I'm sure countless others are, as well. Thank you - we love you!] |

I don't think Russell is a hypocrite, he's never denied his past but he's moved on from there, that's like saying a reformed drug addict can't say they think drugs are bad
In regards to the song, I hope its not an example of modern feminism, its just a load of gutter mouthed trash and would be the same if it were a man singing about his penis

As both the song and video are quite blatantly aimed at men, I have to call BS on it being feminist. It strikes me as the same brand of "feminism" that insists that giving Ł10 handjobs down the alley behind the pub is an "empowering" economic choice.

I don't think it's porn either, though, it might be intended as a "snap back". Like "Hey if male rappers can have songs about getting pussy we can have the same thing too"... But how about BOTH grow up a bit?

To add to that, one of the comments made a good point as well - before it was men objectifying women for men, now its women objectifying themselves for men, same end result, that isn't progress

I wouldn't necessarily agree it's objectifying themselves, if anything they're objectifying men by saying they only want the ones with worthy penises
![]() I don't think this video is either anti-feminist or pro-feminist, it's just... attention-grabbing and it appears to have worked. It's a mildly catchy song but it's not going to go down as anything of major influence or value.

Nobody bats an eyelid when put out songs about sex, but woman are still expected to remain silent about their sexualities, is the song great? No, is it going to forward the feminist movement any? No, but who cares? It’s just a song, I will never understand why things like this trigger people so much, especially the blokes who probably watch porn on the regs but have a coronary whenever a women talks about sex.
And as for Brand, I love him, but he is a hypocrite, he made a career from being a famous sex addict, that was his whole shtick, he gave a bloke a handjob in a public bathroom for a tv show ffs.

...I do t really know how I feel about what he’s saying....I want to give it more thought...but if this is just emulating ‘Male’ hip hop in terms of having a sexist/male dominated content...etc...?...why are these things only analysed when it’s females doing the same or similar things...why does it take females to produce this type of content, for Russell of anyone to feel its discussion worthy..?...

....also, did he describe it as erotica/he sees it as erotica...?...but isn’t that also the thing that often happens with females...that ‘erotica’ is only how he’s seeing the ladies...I didn’t see them as that...

...yeah, I just think that if this is a worthy discussion...then why isn’t/wasn’t it worthy with so many songs where the sexual content is so male dominated ...and yet this one song...?...and apparently it’s discussable and inferring that it shouldn’t be something that’s okay for either without labelling it ‘erotica’, like in the discussion/or opinion vid...
