She also poked fun at the use of woman is music video's by males, woman dancing all over them as the stand by the high priced car and drench themselves in champaign while the males stand by in a fig fur coat and gold chains, honestly I thought is was a great play on the standard male misogynist video. People have got up in arms on how the video is stupid and I think theses people just do not get the satire and need to learn how to take a joke.
I myself thought it was quite smart and told the truth about woman in pop culture. As I have gotten older I find the degrading of women in these videos concerning. Lily pointedly states in her song "I don't need to shake my ass for you cuz Ive got a brain" which is my view point completely. Now I am not a feminist or a campaigner but I do think woman should be viewed as a bit more than piece of eye candy in a bikini. Don't get me wrong we've all been there in a club, especially on halloween and we dance provocatively enough to the likes of Blurred Lines, but would I want to make a career out of it, absolutely not, to the ladies that do, that is their choice I however would prefer to be known for my career success then being the girl in Pitbull's latest video.
Lily Allen strikes me as a quick witted performer who is not afraid to say what we're all thinking and I think she need to be applauded for this effort than abused and she is wight it is hard out here for a bitch!
