A Scottish women’s charity said Carpenter’s new album cover evokes “tired tropes” of women being “possessions,” while fans have defended her cover as satirical commentary on sexism.
She just dropped a new single called “Manchild”. The video is cool.
IDK. I don’t have a real dog in this race, BUT, I did enjoy “Short n’ Sweet”. The track “Please, Please, Please” is entertaining. Something like two thirds of the songs are her bashing on dummies she’s dating, and her lyrics suggest she’s at least self-aware about dating dummies.
Short n Sweet’s other theme was basically “I like them hot and dumb, and I’m DTF”. Bed Chem is just a song about fucking:
And now the next thing I know, I'm like
Manifest that you're oversized
I digress, got me scrollin' like
Out of breath, got me going like (ooh)
Who's the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent? Like (ooh, ah)
Maybe it's all in my head
But I bet we'd have really good bed chem
How you pick me up, pull 'em down, turn me 'round
Oh, it just makes sense
How you talk so sweet when you're doing bad things
That's bed chem
How you're looking at me, yeah, I know what that means
And I'm obsessed
Are you free next week? I bet we'd have really good
Come right on me, I mean camaraderie
Said you're not in my time zone, but you wanna be
Where art thou? Why not uponeth me?
See it my mind, let's fulfill the prophecy (ooh)
Because that was my first thought too. I’ve seen “people” complaining on tiktok about “appealing to the make gaze”. I mean, sure I guess, but there is something funny about doing that and then writing pop songs about how stupid boys are.
The cover in question.

Okay I see this album cover and immediately go “Oh it’s a kink thing”
“Is women being open about their sexuality bad for feminism?” is a wild take
the album is titled “Man’s Best Friend”

as always this controversy is just latent transphobia about puppygirls
super trvthnova
“man’s best friend” probably isn’t “feminist”.

Two thoughts on this
“What’s wrong with being sexy?”
“There’s such a fine line between clever and stupid”
I almost wonder if the spinal tap homage is intentional
You talking about the “Smell the glove” cover?

I see what you did there.
