Sabrina Carpenter has been a bad, bad girl and she is single handedly setting feminism back decades. That is what you’re seeing Tons of people claiming right now After she released the cover art for her new album, Man’s Best Friend. You know, the title clearly being a nod to dogs being a man’s best friend And so the cover shows her in stilettos in a little black dress crawling on the ground while a person, presumably a man, tugs at her hair like it’s a leash and the dog comparison is emphasized with additional artwork that just shows the album’s title on a puppy’s collar. so you had many finding this to be incredibly degrading, and they wrote things like, “this is not feminism and this is not empowering. Look at her comparing herself to a dog kneeling in front of a man, This is derogatory as f*ck.” with Then tons of people also echoing that in Sabrina’s Instagram comments, saying that it looks like a humiliation ritual and that no one wants to see a man dragging a woman on the ground, especially in this political climate. though This as you then also had a ton of people defending Sabrina, arguing that if you put it in the context of her work, it’s clearly satire. Right, and there you have people noting the lead single of the album is called manchild, saying it’s not a bow down to men anthem. and In it, she calls men slow, stupid and useless. And notably, the usual 12 hour discourse window, It got an extension this morning because her cover for rolling Stone was released. and that it features are fully nude, minus thigh high socks and long hair covering her body. and Actually, in today’s rolling Stone piece, she talked about all the criticism and what’s been referred to as nitpicking that she deals with. But with her saying, “I don’t want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like I’ve never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more and scrutinized in every capacity.” and then regarding people being so quick to call her out on putting sexual elements in her show, she said, “It’s always so funny to me when people complain. They’re like, ‘all she does is sing about this.’ But those are the songs that you’ve made popular. Clearly you love sex. You’re obsessed with it. It’s in my show. There’s so many more elements.” but follow to stay in the loop.
